4. Eat the Local Food
Don't just stick to fast food or food you're familiar with
Anita Hendrieka
Albania
This is one of the great Albania tips for tourists because many people come here expecting the finest salmon or great sushi. The reality is you’re going to be disappointed.
Don’t expect western food - instead try the local cuisine. Eat what comes in abundance here in Albania!
For example, along the Albanian Riviera make sure you try seafood. It’s fresh, delicious and (most of the time) comes straight from the sea onto your dinner plate.
You can find some good western-style restaurants in Tirana, but it’s not going to be as good as you can probably get while you're home.
Instead, dive deep into Albanian food – it’s fresh, it tastes great and it's healthy!
