Taste the traditional Albanian food in Durrës.

Welcome to the tour that combines Durrës' history, architecture and traditional Albanian food. First of all, we recommend that the participants do not overdo their breakfast at the hotel, in order to be ready to taste the Albanian food recipes and specialities that we will offer you.

We'll visit the farmers' market. There we'll see the local fruits, vegetables and local food, consisting of Mediterranean products. Then the next stop is at a ''Byrek'' shop where you'll have the chance to taste the traditional Albanian Byrek. It is a salted pastry, usually filled with cottage cheese or meat. If you want to experience eating byrek like an Albanian, you must try it accompanied by a yoghurt-based drink called ''dhallë''.

Walking along the main boulevard of the city, we'll see the Italian architecture of the years and the numerous shops and bars that opened after the communist period.

After this walk, take some time to relax in a bar with a traditional Turkish coffee. In Albania we love to spend coffee time with friends, it's a time to talk, laugh and of course gossip.

Relaxed from the coffee break, we'll visit the Roman Amphitheatre (ticket not included), built by the Emperor Trajan at the beginning of the II century AD. The amphitheatre was built for a capacity of 20,000 people and is the largest in the Balkans.

Then we arrive at the Durrës promenade, called ''Vollga'' by the locals. It's time for lunch, so let's have a traditional Albanian lunch in a restaurant.
