Raki is more than just a drink. it’s the very spirit of Albania, distilled into a clear, fiery liquor.

Our kitchen celebrates the richness of Albanian cuisine by offering dishes made with love, seasonal ingredients, and recipes passed down through generations.

Back in 2021 we did a rafting tour of the Osumi River Canyon here in Albania. It was a lot of fun with some great scenery. 

At this time of year the water levels are too low to do rafting, so instead they run guided trekking tours through the canyon. You don't need hiking boots though... you need a life jacket for this hike!
