〰️ A visit to Berat is quite different compared to visiting any other territories across Albania. Located south of Tirana, this small yet scenic region produces what may be considered one of the best wines in the Balkans. With ancient mountains and green hills lined with excellent indigenous grapevines, Berat is the perfect Albanian destination for oenophiles.

〰️ Kantina e Veres "Pupa" Berat, scenically located between the town and sacred Mount Tomorr, at an altitude of 500-700 meters above sea level, is the ideal base for a relaxing weekend getaway surrounded by vineyards, nature and great food.

〰️ When it comes to choosing a base for an ideal weekend getaway in the Albanian capital, the best thing to do is to find a hotel well located that offers the perfect amenities to make the stay as much as comfortable and enjoyable. And being less then leisurely three-minute walk from Kalaja e Tiranes and Pedonalja, in the heart of the city, The Crown Hotel Tirana fits the bill perfectly.

〰️ Tirana is a city that everyone should visit at least once. Like many southern capitals it can be very chaotic and sometimes neglected but in very few places, like in Tirana, you’re mesmerized at every aspect, its sounds, colors, flavors as well as discovering the contradictions of a place that is merely suspended between past and present.

〰️ Ketrina Jarazi, the Director of Tourism, takes us on a tour of beautiful Tirana, with tips on dishes to try, restaurants and hotels to book, and tucked-away bars for midnight dancing.

〰️ While many visitors decide to spend only a day in Berat, we suggest you to stay a weekend or more. This UNESCO town, and its region, is hands-down one of the best places in Albania to visit. Berat is an open-air museum with churches, mosques and a castle, surrounded by mountains, hills, vineyards and tons of things to add to your itinerary.

〰️ Make your base while exploring the territory. This boutique stay, located in Gorica neighborhood, is a 350-year old property used once as an inn.

〰️ Is there anything more indulgent or delicious than a long, leisurely brunch? Whether you’re dining solo with a good book, gathering with friends to debrief from the night before, or spending time with family, make Leaf Brunch Cafe Tirana your brunch base.

〰️ Their kitchen project, located in the heart of Tirana, is open and airy, with a few small tables where you can enjoy a coffee, veggie burritos, gluten free toast, or a selection of dishes such as quinoa salad, chicken poke bowl, egg Benedict with guacamole & salmon, or their famous yoghurt bowl with chia seeds, fruits and honey (imagine the creamiest yoghurt you’ve ever had, topped with fresh seasonal fruits).

〰️ A charming little spot with cozy interior, it is a local favorite and the place to go for healthy and delicious food 〰️
