Our first visit to Albania
Reviewed November 4, 2019
We had the pleasure of having Arben guide us around southern Albania the last week of October. While we were enamored with the natural beauty of the country, its locally-grown fruits and vegetables, friendly people, and complicated history; what really stuck with us were the unplanned moments. Arben has a gift for making personal connections with the people he meets. Thanks to him we we were able to tour an olive-oil processing facility, sample some homemade Raki brandy, roast our own coffee, and memorably while in the village of Rehove, churn butter the old fashioned way, by hand. We intend to return to Albania so Arben can show us more of the country.
