11:30 – 13:30 Explore the city of Tirana
Tirana, the heart and capital of Albania, like all other European metropolises has a never-ending movement and
energy. Tirana is relatively a new city founded in 1614 by Sulejman Pasha of Mullet. The city began to grow at
the beginning of the 18 century, but it remained an unimportant town until it was proclaimed Albania’s capital
in 1920. Today Tirana is not only the most populated city in Albania but also the most important political and
economic center in the country. An area known as “Blloku” because the villas of the communist elite were based
here, has become the hotspot of nightlife in the capital with trendy bars, pubs, cafes and nightclubs. In recent
years the dull communist-style buildings have been altered by an artist turned Mayer, through the ingenuous
idea of painting their facades in bright colors, and abstract patterns.

Explore the farm Mrizi I Zanave. Located in the farming village of Fishtë in a tranquil corner of
northwestern Albania is the beautiful Mrizi i Zanave Agrotourism. Arguably the country’s most well-known
food attraction, Mrizi i Zanave is the epitome of Albanian slow food. It’s part resort, part restaurant, part
farm, part winery, and part production facility, and serves some of the tastiest food I’ve ever enjoyed in the
Balkans. In other words, there’s a reason why Mrizi i Zanave is the ultimate agrotourism experience in
Albania. At this stunning resort, which is located in a lush mountain valley among sweeping fruit and
vegetable fields, humble farms, and modern production facilities, their motto is “Think globally, eat
locally.” It’s the perfect way to describe this place

impact and present day relevance.
12:30 – 14:00 Lunch in the Village
Afternoon possible for hike to the waterfall or Blue Eye:
*It takes approximately an hour to get the waterfall from the center of Theth Village. The hike is
spectacular, taking you along a spectacular landscape of rivers, pastures, and mountain slopes. The
last leg of the hike involves a 15-minute climb of an intermediate level so be prepared with your
best, non-slippery shoes. Although the journey is not especially easy, the reward, as it often happens,
is well worth your time and energy.
*From Nderlysa to the Blue Eye it takes 40 minutes -1 hour of walk one way, among which only the
first half is more difficult to climb while the second part is easy walking in the middle of the beech
forest to get surprised then by the blue eye.
