🏞️ Albania is an absolute gem! It's a small Balkan nation known for its stunning landscapes. From the pristine beaches along the Adriatic and Ionian Seas to the rugged mountains of the Albanian Alps, there's no shortage of natural beauty here.

🗺️ Absolutely! If you're into history, a visit to the ancient city of Butrint is a must. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with archaeological treasures. For picturesque coastal views, Ksamil and Dhermi are heavenly. And if you're up for a hike, the Valbona Valley offers breathtaking trails.

🎉 Albanian culture is diverse and rich. We celebrate various traditions and festivals throughout the year, often with music, dancing, and delicious food. The Kanun, a traditional code of honor, has shaped our society for centuries. It's a fascinating topic to explore.

🍽️ You're in for a treat! Don't miss out on trying byrek (savory pastry), tave kosi (yogurt-baked lamb), and the famous Albanian fergese. And if you have a sweet tooth, baklava is a must-try dessert.

🌍 Ivy, you've been so helpful and welcoming! I'm really excited to dive deeper into Albanian culture. Are there any books, movies, or music that you recommend to get a better understanding of Albania?

📚 Absolutely, Raya! For literature, "Chronicle in Stone" by Ismail Kadare offers a unique perspective on Albania's history through captivating storytelling. As for movies, "Slogans" and "The Forgiveness of Blood" provide insights into contemporary Albanian life. And when it comes to music, listening to traditional Albanian folk songs, or "Lahuta e Malcis" by Gjergj Fishta, can be a delightful experience.

📖 Those recommendations sound intriguing. I'll definitely check them out. Is there a specific event or festival in Albania that's a must-attend to fully immerse in the culture?

🎉 One of the most vibrant and colorful festivals is the Kukës Carnival, celebrated every February in the city of Kukës. It's a lively event with parades, traditional masks, and lots of music and dancing. If you're in Albania during that time, it's an experience you won't want to miss!
