Everything is clean and ready. But, where are the guests? Where are the tourists?

Bars and restaurants and nightlife

Bar and restaurants started to work after 18th of May. They are operating normally, respecting the social distance with 2 m between tables or chairs. The agrotourism farms outside Tirana will be the most visited this summer, since people want to stay outside and to enjoy fresh products. We can suggest you many restaurants, traditional, italian, or modern cuisine.  Regarding the night bars, they are not opened yet.
