My wine tour was part of a day trip I did to Duress. The winemaker was very welcoming & enthusiastic about his product. I toured the vineyards, tasted wine in the production area & then was taken to their newly opened restaurant overlooking a lake. I tried 3 different wines - Tempranillo, Merlot & Cab Sauvignon which was served w/a very nice platter w/local meats, cheeses, olives & bread. There was even a tasting of Raki too since this vineyard produces olive oil, wines & raki all using natural methods - no pesticides!! I could have spent the day in this peaceful welcoming place so don't miss it!

Came down to Gjipe for a day, but stayed for the night since there is camp at the beach. Also there are a few bars/restaurants at the location. We left the car at the parking, and went down on foot beacuse the road to the beach is driveable only by 4x4 vehicles.
4. Bunk'Art 1
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 969 reviews
After the inaguration, in June 1978 by the dictator Enver Hoxha, opened to the public the anti-nuclear bunker built by the communist government. A 5 floor palace underground, with 106 rooms and an assembly hall, now turned into an historical and art center called "BUNK'ART". The passageways, the areas provided for the meetings of the General Staff of the Army in case of war, the rooms where was thought would sleep the communist exdictator Enver Hoxha and the former Prime Minister Mehmet Shehu in case of a nuclear attack, the gigantic hall dedicated to the meetings of the political Bureau which contains also an albanian tipical Buffe are transformed into a video museum exhibition and into art. Starting from April 2016, BUNK'ART is now made permanent, turning into a unique attraction site for tourists in the region, showing the albanian life during the 45 years of communism.

Visiting this location will allow you not only to understand the history of communist Albania (1944-1991), but gain an understanding of the country from when it became an independent nation. Located in Enver Hoxha’s personal bunker on the outskirts of Tirana, this amazing complex is made up of countless corridors and rooms and also gives an insight into how ordinary Albanian’s, who didn’t conform to the communist ideal, were persecuted.
5. BunkArt 2
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 539 reviews
Bunk'art 2 reconstructs the history of the Albanian Ministry of Internal Affairs from 1912 to 1991 and reveals the secrets of “Sigurimi”, the political police that was the harsh persecution weapon used by the regime of Enver Hoxha. Bunk'art 2 is the first major video museum exhibition dedicated to the victims of communist terror.

I haven't been to every museum in Albania, but we wanted to go to one museum - given it's central Tirana and the tourguide thoroughly recommended, and highest reviews and most reviews on tripadvisor, we went for this one, and wow it did not disappoint. = My girlfriend and I have done probably 100+ museums to the point where to be honest they got boring, but wow was this one good. Very graphic, in details accounts of people from 1914 to present day, and a very vivid walkthrough of the life of Albanians, their viewpoints, recent history, and helps you to understand their ways of thinking and feeling towards certain topics. There are so many interesting facets to the museum and don't want to give much away - just go and read things and take it in and enjoy it. Wear a t-shirt as it's warm underground and maybe a bit of deodorant :) it's ventilated and cooler than outside but still a bit warm so bring water too.

Neasden Lane Beach, is a very clean, quiet, private beach located in Ksamil. We have a Restaurant and a Parking Space in our facilities. It is the perfect place for you to get disconnected from the outside world.

Positioned on the top of a high hill, the location probably offers the most beautiful view of the city of Saranda, the sea and the island of Corfu. The most beautiful day of the day is the evening, when sunset creates magic. At the restaurant in the courtyard of this fortress, I drank very good local beer.
