Albania
Alcogolic drinking in Albania
The preferred alcoholic hard drink is raki that is locally produced in small towns as well as in many homes in the countryside; in some instances you may run across men washing down breakfast with a few shots.
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.
