What To Expect

Cooking Class - Go as Local

We begin the Tirana tour by meeting your guide in the given location. After a brief welcome and introduction to the day’s plan, we take a short walk together to our first stop—an inviting local eatery where we ease into the day with some authentic Albanian flavors.At this cozy private spot, you’ll enjoy a light traditional breakfast-style meal featuring Lakror, a signature Albanian pie made with hand-stretched dough and typically filled with vegetables, herbs, or cheese. It’s a humble yet iconic dish that reflects the heart of rural Albanian cooking. Alongside the lakror, we’ll sample locally made cheeses and fruit jams, offering a sweet and savory balance that’s simple, satisfying, and deeply rooted in Albanian tradition.
