An important part of each travel experience is the food. It is not only about what you have on the plate: It represents an entire culture, a way of life. For Albanians the meals have always been a place to socialize, to spend time together, to chat. We at Adventure & Fun Albania take care to preserve this tradition and transmit it to our guests.
Albanian cuisine is very rich in traditional dishes, based on locally grown ingredients and authentic flavors. Even the simplest meals consumed in remote villages, during a picnic lunch or at shepherd’s huts are different, genuine, unique.
Just imagine the feast of your senses as you savor some fruits or vegetables harvested from the garden direct before your eyes, as you smell the pie while baking in a wood-fired oven just before your eyes, as you wait for the milk to become fresh cheese after you have put in all your effort to prepare it, as you admire the joyful game of colors and shapes of the food placed on the table, as you taste the fresh home - baked bread, as you chose the fish directly from the fisherman’s boat.
Albania has been at the crossroad of different civilizations which has left not only their archeological traces but have influenced the Albanian cuisine. Some dishes represent a mix of Albanian with Greek, Turkish or Italian cuisine, while some others are authentic Albanian. This foreign influence has not assimilated the traditional Albanian cuisine, but has enriched it and made it more diverse

The #VjosaNationalPark is often referred to as the "Blue Heart of Europe" due to its pristine beauty and its biodiversity. The Vjosa River is one of the last wild rivers in Europe, largely untouched by human intervention. It stretches approximately 270 kilometers (168 miles) in length, making it the longest undammed river in Europe.
The section where our rafting activity takes place is characterized by swirling streams, canyons, freshwater springs, islands, that create magnificent landscapes. The River is categorized by its level II-III rafting (fast flowing waters with small waves) and does not pose significant risks in navigation.

The glacier mills of Ndërlysaj
The glacier mills of Ndërlysaj offer a unique spectacle of nature: Rounded and sharp rocks, half dipped into the shimmering colours of water and all-around green vegetation will surround the path. And after a few days of extremely heavy rain, the small stream turns into a raging torrent.

Driving along the Ionian Coast
Driving along the Ionian Coast is always an experience to be remembered. Running from Saranda to Vlora, the coast line is famous for its small bays, pebbly beaches and crystal-clear waters.
One of the most unique spots of the entire coast is the Bay of Porto Palermo.
Apart from its natural beauty, the Bay is known as one of the most important military bases during the cold war. From the road you can see the tunnels where Albanian military submarines were moored.
