Albania
Tips in Albania
Usually leave a tip if the service was pleasant and quality. The standard amount is 10 % above the receipt of the invoice. But do not forget that the staff make very little money, and their main income - tip.
Food in Albania
Albanian cuisine is excellent, with both Ottoman and Italian influences evident. There are many good restaurants throughout the country, although obviously in smaller towns the choice is more limited than in the cities. Vegetarians will find themselves eating a lot of salad; luckily for them, Albanian tomatoes and cucumber are delicious.
Religions of Albania
Historically, Islam has been the majority religion of Albania, despite Communist efforts to enforce an atheistic, secular state. In 1967, the government closed more than 2,100 mosques, churches, monasteries, and other places of worship and declared the country an atheist state.
