Holiday apartment in Tiranë
Tiranë is the capital of the region: a lively urban center with café and restaurant life, culinary anchors such as Byrek or Tavë kosi, and the option of a trip up Mount Dajti. For families, this mix is especially appealing because the stay can work as a clear city break, as a base for day trips, or as a combination of both. On top of that, the district includes several separate municipalities—so here you are not choosing only the city, but deliberately between different bases.

City life in Tiranë
