Welcome back to Albania and thank you so much for making the wonderful videos. It’s really emotional for me to watch your videos since I live abroad since from 1997 so as you can imagine I miss my country and our culture and our food. Sending love to you guys ❤️🇦🇱
Tirana is one of the most beautiful tourist cities in Albania. It is the capital and the area where tourists start their journey to explore Albania. Tirana has a range of tourist attractions that make the city famous for tourism. It has a mild climate and a pleasant atmosphere.
Thank you guys for the video. I went to Oda restaurant when I was in Tirana and I sat at the same place where you were sitting. I liked the place but it was a little bit difficult to find because the entrance was not in the main street. Ironically it happened to be opposite the building where I satyed, in a cozy appartment that had everything one would need (I only paid 100 euros for 4 nights). Everything you mentioned in your videos about Tirana is 100% true. A great city with extremely nice and helpful people.
We aren’t going to Albania until November, 2023, but I’m taking notes and I appreciate your great channel. I can hardly wait to try these restaurants and enjoy the friendliness and the food. Thanks.
Pleased we found you two, with planning to go down to Albania this coming September. (saying that we've just had our flight cancelled.) great content really helped in explaining the food. well done not hitting on the raki at 1pm 😇
@@thekttravelshow0001 oooooh yeah Wizz and Ryanair are the two worst of the worst lol 😂 WizzAir seems to operate a lot between Spain and Albania though!
Some of my favourite amazing 🇦🇱 Albanian dishes: Tavë mishi, fërgesë, byrek, pispili, tarator, flija, petulla, speca të mbushura, tavë kosi, perime në zgarë, peshk në zgarë, trilece, kashkavall në furrë me domate, fasule me pilaf, qofte, dollma japrak, qifqi, gjel deti me përshesh, patëllxhanë të mbushur, ballokume.
You guys nail our food. Can't wait to see more videos of your impressions for our food. Remember, the best lies deep in our rural areas and if possible in villagers' houses where you will find habits of how humanity lived centuries ago. Haha, "tave dheu" is pronounced as tave the-u where the is like in English "the". It is one of the keywords of our language that may go back to beginning of our language. It means earth, soil, land, clay. So that tava that your dish was made is made of the earth.
@@TwoMadExplorers I never found any Albanian restaurants that had good Albanian food in Tirana. I did find a few outside the city a few years ago, of course I did not write the names down. There are some good Italian and fish restaurants on the other side of the stadium that I eat in about a year ago. If you walk down Sulejman Delvina Street from President Wilson Sq. ( USA) toward the stadium, I think you could find them off of Komuna e Parisit. There is a small street behind the stadium called Emin Duraku I think thats it anyway , there is a small fish store that has a small dinning room. Cheap, fresh fish in from the coast daily. Ismet Sheju is a good place a little drive north of Tirana, Mrizi i Zanave in Lezhe is good but you need a car. I would try asking the locals for a good place to eat outside the center away from the tourist. You don't have to go to far out of the center. I personally like the mountain villages for fresh lamb or keci
Bon appetit ! I suggest you to do a home visit food traditional in Albania (going to family guests you and you try smth that Albanians will prepare to host you for lunch or dinner etc ) in different villages from north to south ! Albanians will host you so try this option so people understand how good food are prepared from our mothers and wife’s and as well Albanians man and fathers ! Call it, “host as guest in an Albanian village “ - free of charge ! So who hosts you and you pay 0€ !! Enjoy Albania food is amazing
My only complaint is the cold weather ! - LOVED EVERYTHING ELSE and would really enjoy a visit if not retire there. English is my only language & may be a frustration ?
My favorite byrek as a kid was leek byrek and pumpkin byrek. Both need good quality leek or pumpkin. Keep in mind organ meats will fill you up fast, they are packed/dense in nutrients.
the map shows the territories which were populated by Albanians, ie not an Albanian state but territories populated by Albanians. The same thing happened with the Hungarians, who have many territories that were supposed to be Hungarian territories but due to the different policies of that time those territories failed to be in a single state but divided into several states.
every travel vlogger goes to Oda. It's funny because no locals actually go there from what I met. I lived in Tirana for 3 months and almost went to oda one time but didn't
Oh wow!! It’s our second time here in Tirana, we never went the first time but tried it out and loved it! The food was great, but definitely priced for tourists😆 We will be here for 3 months too, what is some awesome examples of local spots? Cheers Bert 🙌🏼🇦🇱♥️
the folder shows what it looked like in albania in 1881 now not even half of the country was divided by great powers into new states of former yugoslavia and some into greece
@@eduardocruzo8607 all balkan was under ottoman empire. In 1821 if I rember well was created Greece and around these years was created Serbia. That time under ottoman there were 4 albanian so-called Vilajetes. This means they were albanians in their land but ocupied by turkish. The neighbours could create states with mostly albanian territories Because this wss internstional agenda. You know that in 1978 there was declared Albanian vilajets independence from Turkey? They created in zprizren a government. But this movement was fighted mot only by turkey...but even England. England brought near ulcine and Tivar ( today they call Bar and are part of Montenegro) their war ship (marine flota) and shuting poor people with canons...so dont be cinic with a population has suffered for no reason, but only because was in his land
@@xhevairedulja2175 I stated a fact. Nothing cynical about it. Again, Albania wasn't a state in 1881. It did declare its Independence on November 28th, 1912. There were no Albanian vilajets in 1978. like you state. ''You know that in 1978 there was declared Albanian vilajets independence from Turkey?'' By the way, I'd rather read your comments in Albanian than English. Your English sucks.
Amazing! Try and go to Blloku, Pazari i Ri and Tirana castle area! Also don’t forget to visit Dajti mountain because they have amazing restaurants up there too.
Gora is Crna Gora Serbian for Montenegro, Adriatic and Jon are the seas of Albania. Albania is self-explanatory, Albanski in Macedonian for Albania, Grcka some Slavic language for Greece and Egje is the Aegean sea.
Hitler had information’s Albanians are not a Slavic people because Hitler had problems with Slavs .He did see us as a part of his “Aryan Race” and during the time the germans was in Albania is the last time we had a ethinc Albania autonom country 3:02 . But albanians didn't agree with his idea, and fight under allies umbrella during WW2
The goal is to help people who want to visit and find restaurants etc There are thousands of UA-camrs that make videos just about food as their full time job👍🏼 But thanks for your support & comments Luke & Naomi
@@johny5933 think again; I run an adventure company in the western Himalaya ; up in the Kullu Valley and have been here 17 years ; which kind of life do you have Johnny ??

Damn, that desert at the end really got me. I'm speechless!
Rice soup looks nice. And this is a difficult plate to achieve. The albanian pies are delicious too.
Use your hands guys when eating lakror, it test even better
Absolutely agree! Next time! 🇦🇱🙌🏼
Jeni fantastic.kur te vini heres tjeter do ju jap adresen dhe ajdeni ke taverna ime.flm qe e keni pelqyer albanian

Tavë Dheu is the best Albanian food.🔝🦅🇦🇱
Yes it’s the best 🇦🇱

Hahaha yes our pronunciation needs a lot of work 😅😅 🇦🇱
Nice tour guys! Try lamb baked in wood oven. You will love it!
Thank you!!
Yesssss we will definitely have to try it soon 👀
Hey, can you do video about shops and malls in Albania? We are going to Albania soon.🤩🤩
Great!! We will definitely do a video on this topic 🙌🏼♥️
@@TwoMadExplorers try toptani shopping center
Ring center
Arena center
Coin center etc
From the map Ecje in Albanian means Walk and it was the land connecting Turkey to Albania
I think its referring to the Aegean sea (Egje)
Oda is just for the tourist, but it usually a good time. They say dhalle is buttermilk but it's a like kefir
Oh wow! Do you have some local recommendations for Tirana?
Thank you for comments!

Yeah we speak English, German and Italian, but you can get around with English for sure here. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
can I get a little is so craving for those sweet things
Hey you guys you should try Juvenilja restaurant
We will add it to the list! 🇦🇱
I saw you at Capitol 😎
Ah wow! Say hi! 🇦🇱🥳
My favorite byrek as a kid was leek byrek and pumpkin byrek. Both need good quality leek or pumpkin. Keep in mind organ meats will fill you up fast, they are packed/dense in nutrients.
Wow amazing! The best food is here in the Balkans 🇦🇱🙌🏼
2:59 that's the Albanian vilayet where all the Albanians lived before they were massacred
ok 1 advice for the next time. Tave dheu is supposed to be eaten with bread and you could ask for more bread. the bread is free :).

Check out Kinghouse restorant in Bloku and try Tave Dheu… 🙈
Oh wow! We will definitely give it a try there 🙏🏻
you pronounce great Albanian
Faleminderit!! 🇦🇱
Lakror is made with corn flour and is a bit stronger, byrek is like the pie
We are thinking about staying for a month.We love local and street food which area would you recommend?
Amazing! Try and go to Blloku, Pazari i Ri and Tirana castle area! Also don’t forget to visit Dajti mountain because they have amazing restaurants up there too.
@@TwoMadExplorers Thanks so much, we will!!
this all look so roy 😘
YOU look so ROY! ❤
is it possible to enter albania if you are not vaccinated with instead pcr test or rapid antigen?
Hi! An Antigen is enough for Albania at the moment, as far as we know it has never been more than an Antigen 👍🏼😊
@@TwoMadExplorers did you enter also with rapid antigen or are you vaccinated? are you in albania at this moment?
❤
Omw this weekend show me around

I confirm its true 100% 👍👍👍
Gora is Montenegro. The map shows a ”greater Albania”, including Kosovo, Macedonia and northern Greece.
Is a joke.....I don't think there are many nazi's in my country.
LoL LoL LoL
Not being funny but a lot of your vlogs are of you eating: it becimes boring
