  • Full tour of Albania's most beautiful city! We hope this video inspires you to add Gjirokaster to your Albania itinerary. Ask us anything in the comments! We are always happy to help :)
    Gjirokaster, Albania stole our hearts! We visited a lot of beautiful towns during our 2.5 month trip throughout Albania, but this town was really special. It has a beautiful bazaar, an incredible castle and delicious restaurants! You can end the day enjoying a drink with the most epic views too.
    Let us know what you think about Gjirokaster, and don't be shy if you need to reach out with any questions.
    Thanks so much for watching our videos and for being here. See you next time :)

    I like walking up to Resort Kerculla and have a kapuçino and oshaf at one of the balcony tables viewing the valley south. Oshaf is a sheep's milk pudding/mousse sweetened with figs. Also, there is a little taverna called Kardashi (lunch with the Kardashians, so to speak). The thing they have that is special is the tzatziki, because they make their own kos (yogurt). That yogurt is superb.

    Guys, I’m currently in Albania, I would like to know your opinion about which city do you prefer Gjirokaster or Berat? I don’t know if I will have time to visit both, I enjoyed ur videos!

    • @waysoftheworld_
      @waysoftheworld_  Рік тому +3

      Hi Ariadna! Mmmmm that's hard! They are both so beautiful, but if we had to pick one, we would pick Gjirokaster. I can't pin point why... maybe the food in Odaja, the castle was very nice too and all the terraces with amazing views... Berat is incredible and the sunsets are great, but we just connected with Gjirokaster better... Just know that whichever you choose to visit, you will have a blast! They are both beautiful! Enjoy Albania :)

    Imambayıldı is a turkish dish actually.
    . The name of the dish is completely turkish. İmam means hodja in mosque and bayıldı means delighted or enjoyed very much in turkish. You can translate imam bayıldı to English as “ imam enjoyed very much”. This dish is a very common dish in Turkey , cooked by olive oil and served cold. One of the best dish made of aubergine.
    I hope you liked it .

    • @mendjelire8392
      @mendjelire8392 Рік тому

      We know it is a Turkish dish. Doesn't bayıldı mean fainted in English though? At least that's what google translate says and all the info about the dish on the internet: Imam fainted, because he liked the dish so much when he first tried it.

    • @waysoftheworld_
      @waysoftheworld_  Рік тому

      We also enjoyed it very much hahaha but even though the name did sound familiar, we never had this in Turkey! Is it from a specific region, or is it easy to find? WE LOVED IT SO MUCH!! Thanks for the info by the way :)

In the menü there is a section called “ Zeytinyağlılar ( means dishes cooked by olive oil and only vegetables in it and served cold), Hacı Abdullah Restaurant in Beyoğlu serves imam bayıldı and it is delicious indeed.
