Fun evening sampling raki - Fun evening tasting raki in cool bar. There were seven raki samples offered with a small plate of mezze. Really enjoyed talking with our guide Evis and learning more about Albania and raki.

Great fun! Raki & more. - We had a great time with Serena who gave us an informative walking tour through Tirana as we traveled from the meeting spot to the bar and restaurant that was providing the tasting. The Raki pours were more than generous and the bar also has an ethnographic museum attached. Serena was able to share insights about the objects included there as well. We highly recommend that you take part in this experience while in Tirana!
