Beschrijving
Discover the flavors of Berat on a guided walking tour. Explore the historic heart of Mangalem, taste Albanian street food, and enjoy a dessert recipe kept secret for three generations.
Meet your guide at the Visit Albania Tour Operator office, located right in the historical center near the King Mosque. Begin by exploring the mosque’s 15th-century architecture. If the doors are open and it is not prayer time, step inside.
Next, visit the Porta e Pashait (Gate of the Pasha) and the Sarajet e Pashait, the remnants of the grand palace complex of the Ottoman governors. Stop at a neighborhood Byrektore for a classic start—fresh, flaky Byrek served with a cold, salted Dhallë.
Walk across the iconic Gorica Bridge into the ancient Christian quarter. Pause at a local restaurant to sample the "soul food" of the region. Taste fërgesë, a savory blend of peppers, tomatoes, and local curd cheese, japrak, traditional stuffed vine leaves, and a selection of seasonal specialties made that morning. Enjoy an espresso coffee and bottled water.
Visit a legendary local pastry shop where the family has protected their recipes for three generations. Try the famous Monblan, or choose from Bakllava or Revani. Conclude on the Pedonale (Bulevardi Republika). Join the locals for the "Xhiro"—the traditional evening stroll—to understand how people in Berat live and socialize today.
