This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

This is a flexible day trip, built around lunch at one of our favourite village restaurants!

In the morning you have the option to stop at Bunk'Art 1 (tickets approx €5), and to take the Dajti Ekspres cable car up Mt Dajti (approx €8; the minivan comes up by road). If you choose, you can also climb to the peak of Mt Dajti (about 1h up, and 45 minutes down).

From Dajti we'll drive on through beautiful countryside to our lunch stop, a small wooden shack owned by the lovely Dëfrim and Hilda. Nowadays most village restaurant close to Tirana have been refurbished to a gangster aesthetic, but Dëfrim and Hilda keep the place as simple as possible, and let their food do the talking.

Veal is the speciality of the house - the cows are raised on Dëfrim's little farm, and cooked in the traditional saç method. If you prefer lamb, goat or chicken, no worries - just give us 48 hours advance notice.

  • Bunk'Art 1
    We'll spend about an hour exploring Bunk'Art 1 - the huge and top secret nuclear bunker built by the Communist regime (using Chinese cash and expertise). This is a great place to be in summer - it's deliciously cool!
  • Dajti Ekspres Cable Car
    If you choose, you can take the Dajti Ekspress cable car halfway up Dajti, while the minivan comes up on the road.
  • Parku Kombetar Mali i Dajtit
    If you want to make a hike in the Dajti National Park, it's perfectly possible! The views are great, and from the cable car it'll take about 1h to reach the peak, and 45 minutes to come back down again.
  • Shengjergji Waterfall
    Not too far from the Meat Shack is the waterfall of Shengjergj. The walk there is pretty easy, and takes about 10 minutes. This is a good option on a hot day as you can jump into the pool, but it might be crowded.
