Tirana is Albanian capital and definitely a city which needs to be discovered. What do you want? Small hotels, big fancy hotels, mountains, lakes, night life, discos? You have everything in Tirana. Prices in here are quite reasonable.
Alcohol? How much you want? Great prices. Alcohol is something Albanians were always famous for. Albanians are known as people who want only fun. Once there was something said about Albania: "America is work-work, Europe is work-fun, Albania is fun-fun". And it is real.
So why Tirana should host the next meeting? What does Tirana have special?
Simple, you do not know it. It would be a great and very original experience for you. See something you haven't seen before. Learn something about the "Land of Eagles".
Criminality? Please, don't believe everything. We guarantee nothing can happen. Tirana is a very safe place.
Oh, yes, Serbs are afraid to come. Don't worry people! We don't bite. You'd be comforted in here, nothing to be afraid of. Everyone is welcomed. Albanians are famous for their hospitality.
Religion? It exists in a perfect harmony. Albania is devided in muslim and christian, but always respected each other, and also we always celebrated each other celebrations. We are very united. Feel free to show your religion.
So, Tirana fits every taste.
Do you want nature? Artificial lake of Tirana and Dajti Mountain (less than 1 hour away) are expecting you. We have a great nature. You would love it! Artificial Lake is a great place to have a walk in morning, a great place if you want to relax, a perfect place if you want to calm. Coastline is also very near. Tirana has no coastline, but Durres is only 30 minutes away Tirana.
Want some night life? Tirana is more awake during night than during day. It is full of discos, pubs, people which wanna have fun and dance and drink. Great places to visit, new people to meet.
Do you like history? We have an incredible and very non-pausing history. You can visit places where the ancient Illyrians lived in. Learn more about Albanian ancient origin. Periods on Ottoman conquest, periods of World War I and II, period of communism, and finally period of democracy.
So lets stop at hotels. If you want a fancy hotel you have "Sheraton Tirana", "Mondial Hotel", Hotel Tirana" (known as "15 floors"). If you want cheap hotels, pensions, you can find starting from 25 Euro/night. I repeat prices are reasonable. You know Albania has its own currency (Albanian Lek). The value is 1 Euro = 140 Lek.
Albanian people are also famous for their hospitality. You would be amazed. Come on and try our traditional food and drinks. Don't miss the alcoholic drink called "raki". It will shiver your mind!
😃

Where can you find everything you can want?

For those of you that don't know, the Tale of the Eagle is an Albanian folk tale that explains how Albania and Albanians received their indigenous name:
A young man was hunting in the mountains. An eagle flying above him alighted on top of a crag. The eagle was especially large and had a snake in its beak. After a while, the eagle flew away from the crag where it had its nest. The young man then climbed to the top of the crag where he saw, in the nest, an eaglet playing with the dead snake. But the snake wasn't really dead! Suddenly it stirred, revealed its fangs and was ready to pierce the eaglet with its deadly venom. The youth quickly took out his bow and arrow and killed the snake. Then he took the eaglet and started going back to his home. Suddenly the young man heard above him the loud whir of the great eagle's wings.
"Why did you kidnap my child?" cried the eagle.
"The child is mine because I saved it from the snake which you didn't kill," answered the young man.
"Give me back my child, and I will give you as a reward the sharpness of my eyes and the powerful strength of my wings. You will become invincible, and you will be called by my name!".
Thus the young man handed over the eaglet. After the eaglet grew, it would always fly above the head of the young man, now a grown man, who with his bow and arrows killed many wild beasts of the forest, and with his sword slew many enemies of the land. During all of these feats, the eagle faithfully watched over and guided him.
Amazed by the valiant hunter's deeds, the people of the land elected him king and called him Shqipëtar, which is to say Son of the Eagle (shqipe or shqiponjë is Albanian for eagle) and his kingdom became known as "Shqipëria" or Land of the Eagles.The two heads on the eagle represent the north and the south of the ballkan lands.
**************
It is also said that the eagle gave the young man, half of the egg shell, which the young men used it as a skull cap. In this way the eagle could see him from above and help him in difficult situations. This is believed to be the origin of the PLIS traditional skull cap, which is worn by Albanian men throughout Albania, in Kosova, the Republic of Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, and in the Arbëresh villages in Italy
Where are the bunkers?! It is main (only) attraction
Tirana is a wonderful city to visit. I go there often since I live in Prishtina and is near. Many places to visit, stay and have fun with wonderful people.
