Kosovo STREET FOOD Breakfast in DRAGASH VILLAGE!! Driving from Brod to Prizren, Kosova

🇽🇰 DAVID’S BEEN HERE KOSOVO & ALBANIA SHIRTS:
As the fourth day of my Albania/Kosovo trip kicked off, I hit the ground running to explore more of Kosovo! Come along with me as I grab some authentic Kosovo street food for breakfast and then drive from Brod to Prizren!
🚗 RENTAL CAR ALBANIA:
My day began in Dragash village, which is the halfway point between Brod and my next destination, Prizren. My boy Erjan from Travel Media EU and I got an early start at seven a.m. because we had a jam-packed day ahead of us!
I had a hankering for some byrek, so we stopped at a shop called Extra, which sold byrek and lots of other Balkan favorites and coffee. It was a small shop with three tables. I got to watch them make some sweets.
Erjan and I started with some Turkish coffee and two different byreks: one with meat and another with cheese. We had some yogurt on the side. The byrek had been pre-cut into pieces. I loved the dough, which was really unique and tasted different from other byreks I’d had.
The meat byrek contained minced meat and was light, flaky, and airy. Meanwhile, the yogurt was liquidy and super tasty. The coffee, byrek, and yogurt went together really well. After you drink your Turkish coffee, you flip your cup over onto your saucer and someone can tell your future by reading the dregs.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have any Kosovo currency on me. Unlike Albania, which uses lekes, in Kosovo, they use Euros. I needed to find an ATM to pay the shop owner! As we hunted for an ATM, we came across a statue of Adem Jashari, one of the founders of the Kosovo Liberation Army, who died in 1998.
We also came across a small market where you can buy household supplies like combs, lighters, batteries, a broom, an axe, and homemade honey. It’s a true local experience in a small town. I found a bank and got my money, and then we continued on to Prizren!
The views we had as we drove along the road to Prizren were unbelievable. The expanses of countryside, farmland, and mountains was just stunning!
Prizren is the country’s second-largest city after the capital, Pristina. After we arrived in town, we passed a massive vegetable market. There were also lots 10-story buildings and lots of advertisements and commercial spaces.
We entered the Old Town. On our right was the Prizren River, which goes through the middle of the city. The road to get to our hotel was very winding and full of slopes. We passed by lots of cafés and hotels along the way. Erjan told me that this is his favorite Kosovar city, and that everything—shopping, restaurants, bars, mosques, churches—is located within walking distance.
We arrived at Hotel Centrum, and I headed up to Room 312. I had a nice, clean bathroom, a closet, desk, TV, two twin beds, and a balcony with an amazing view over Prisren. I could see seven minarets from there!
What a morning! I couldn’t wait to get out and explore Prizren over the next 24 hours!

PRIZREN! KOSOVO'S MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY (Cultural Travel Guide to Prizren) #prizren #kosovo
Famous as the birthplace of the League of Prizren in the late 19th century, 21st century Prizren is arguably Kosovo's tourist capital. Thankfully, the Kosovo conflict left the historic core of Prizren largely intact and both visitors and locals can enjoy lazy walks by the river, crossing and re-crossing the ancient bridges and relaxing in the myriad of cafes. A late afternoon walk up to the Prizren Fortress allows for captivating views across the city to the mountains that border Albania and Macedonia.
In this film I provide a brief outline of the history of this historic trading city and, of course, the founding of the League of Prizren and its lasting legacy.
I stayed at the Hotel Prior which I would highly recommend for its location, friendly staff and delicious breakfasts!

Chasing Kosovo WATERFALLS!! Kosova Raki for BREAKFAST at White Drin Waterfall | Peja, Kosovo
🏨 HOTEL DUKAGJINI:
🏨 RESORT UJEVARA E DRINIT:
🌎 TRAVEL MEDIA EU:
The sixth day of my epic road trip through Albania and Kosovo kicked off in the gorgeous city of Peja, Kosovo! Come join me as I drink some raki for breakfast and then explore the White Drin River and waterfall in Peja, Kosovo!
🇽🇰 DAVID’S BEEN HERE KOSOVO & ALBANIA SHIRTS:
🚗 RENTAL CAR ALBANIA:
My day began about 30 minutes outside of Kosovo at the beautiful White Drin River. There’s a hotel right next to the river. I couldn’t wiat to have some breakfast, hike the area, and do some exploring!
We had a 30-minute hike around the river ahead of us. The rushing river goes through Albania and Kosovo. We approached the waterfall and got hit with the mist! It drenched us! The water comes from the mountains, so it’s super cold!
As we continued on, we reached a water fountain, where I took a drink. There’s nothing like drinking fresh mountain water!
Then, we continued to climb up some steps along the mountain. Re reached a bridge that crosses the White Drin right above a set of rushing falls. I had never been to a place like this before!
The path was super narrow and really intense, as it’s right above the falls!
Then, we continued along the path to the entrance of the second-largest cave in Kosovo. It’s called Sleeping Beauty Cave and is full of tunnels. Unfortunately, it was closed, but it’s open between April and October.
We began the hike back, and Erjan found a wild fire salamander. It’s a super beautiful creature! I had never seen one out in the wild!
We made it back to the hotel, Resort Ujevara e Drinit. The hotel’s restaurant, Moncafe, looks right over the river. It was so beautiful and peaceful, and the sound of the river is so soothing!
Erjan and I started with some espresso and paired it with raki, the way true Albanians and Kosovar people start their day! I loved the aroma. Most tourists probably won’t do this, but it’s the best way to immerse yourself in the local culture.
From there, we hopped in the car to head to Rugova Valley to do some ziplining! There are mountains, waterfalls, and canyons there. The area reminded me of Valbona and Montenegro!
Our first stop was a waterfall along the highway, which goes through the mountains. It was beautiful! There’s a restaurant right on the river with a sort of picnic area right on the river banks. It’s beautiful and relaxing, but it’s also cold! The Peja area is stunningly beautiful!
I crossed some of the rocks in the river and then we headed back up to the car. We reached another waterfall, and nearby we found a vendor selling honey, drinks, and raki bottles made from tree branches!
Unfortunately, the ziplining was closed, so we headed back to Peja to find more adventures! The drive to and from the city was absolutely gorgeous. The mountain scenery was unreal! You can hike and go rock climbing here!
We made it back to Hotel Dukagjini, our accommodations, and walked around the center of town. We saw the main square and pedestrian street and the I Love Peja sign.
What an eventful morning in and around Peja!

Kukës - 🇦🇱 #Albania
Kukës is a city in the Republic of Albania. The city is the capital of the surrounding municipality of Kukës and county of Kukës, one of 12 constituent counties of the republic. It spans 8.2 square kilometres (3.2 sq mi) and had a total population of 16,719 people as of 2011. By air distance, Kukës is located 98 kilometres (61 mi) northeast of Tirana, 75 kilometres (47 mi) to the east of Shkodër and 34 kilometres (21 mi) to the south of Gjakovë and 30 kilometres (19 mi) to the west of Prizren in Kosovo.
Geologically, the terrain of the surrounding area is dominated by mountainous and high terrain. The city sprawls across the Luma Plain within the Albanian Alps between the banks of Lake Fierza and the hills of the northernmost Korab Mountains and westernmost Shar Mountains. At the confluence of the Black and White Drin, the Drin River originates close to the city's territory.
Kukës traces its history back over a thousand years. The region that nowadays corresponds to the city territory was inhabited by several ancient Illyrian tribes, as most of Albania. Numerous tombs from the Illyrians has been identified at Këneta and Kolsh nearby the city. The residential estate served as a stopping point on a branch road leading to the Via Egnatia, which connected Durrës on the Adriatic Sea in the west with Constantinople on the Marmara Sea in the east. In modern times and due to the close proximity to Kosovo, the city achieved worldwide recognition during the Kosovo War as thousands of Kosovo-Albanian refugees crossed the border and found security in the city.
The city was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in regard to hospitality and for embracing thousands of refugees during the Kosovo War. It was the first time a town was nominated for the prize. In 2017, the city applied for the 2018 European Green Capital Award to become Europe's Green Capital.

Hearty KOSOVO FOOD in Gjakova!! Exploring Kosovo's Oldest Bazaar | Gjakova, Kosovo
🥩 HOTEL CARSHIA E JUPAVE:
🌎 TRAVEL MEDIA EU:
🇽🇰 DAVID’S BEEN HERE KOSOVO & ALBANIA SHIRTS:
The fifth day of my epic road trip through Albania and Kosovo began with a drive to Gjakova, Kosovo! Join me as I enjoy some hearty Kosovo food and then explore Kosovo’s oldest bazaar in Gjakova, Kosovo!
🚗 RENTAL CAR ALBANIA:
My day started at Terzijski Bridge, an Ottoman Bridge near Bistražin, between Prizren and Peja. It’s a beautiful medieval bridge that dates back to the 15th century. It’s an awesome example of Ottoman architecture in Kosovo!
My boy Erjan from Travel Media EU and I were both starving, so we set out to grab some food before exploring the city! We stopped at Hotel Carshia e Jupave, a hotel and restaurant in Gjakova that’s all about serving delicious traditional food. It’s Erjan’s favorite restaurant in the city!
In the kitchen, I watched the cooks bake bread and make meatballs, vegetables with meat, and much more!
At our table, we had an amazing-looking meat-and-vegetable tava, meat cooked on a stone, kofta (a meat patty with cheese on top), bread, cheese, and a salad. The meat was unreal, as was the beef tava. The beef was super tender and fell apart in my mouth. It was so juicy!
The beef-and-vegetable tava almost tasted like ajvar because of the red peppers in it. Ajvar is a paste made from red peppers and mashed eggplant. It was so tasty! Then, I tried some of the ajvar with the fluffy bread, which was fantastic. I loved it!
The kofta was nice and medium rare, just the way I like it. I couldn’t get over how good everything was. The best thing to do is to grab some meat, ajvar, and goat cheese with the bread and try it together. It’s unreal!
We finished with some local raki, which was nice and smooth!
Outside, we headed to a nearby café to grab a coffee to wake up after such a filling meal. Then, we headed to Old Bazaar, the oldest and most traditional bazaar in Kosovo. It’s non-stop restaurants, bars, and souvenir shops. This used to be an open-air market but has now been converted into commercial spaces.
The bazaar is huge. It consists of several shops, so there’s a lot to explore. We stopped by an arts and crafts shop where they can make sculptures of your family’s hands! From there, we stopped in a clothing shop with lots of traditional clothes with the Albanian double eagle! From there, we finished up by checking out a beautiful mosque!
What an awesome morning exploring Gjakova!

Traveling to Republic of Kosovo 🇽🇰
We had quite different expectations before we finally decided to visit the Republic of Kosovo in the beginning of September 2022. 🇽🇰
The country surprised us with its clean and tidy public spaces, great views, tasty food, and smiling people. Definitely a great place to check out for a couple of days and one of the most affordable places to visit in Europe. Plus they use the euro 💶
Some of the best moments in the country were:
1. Views from Hija e Maleve towards the Shar Mountain
2. The architecture of The National Library of Kosovo in Pristina
3. The charming town of Prizren
4. The Grand Hamam with an exhibition, part of the biennial Manifesta 14 (which will be in the city until the end of October)
5. Streets with older and newer buildings and where many cables meet 😉
6. The view from the balcony of our apartment in Pristina
7. Tasting the traditional food from Kosovo - especially the delicious cheeses and bread
8. Where everything happens - the Mother Theresa boulevard
9. Precious time with bears saved from cages and entertainment who now live a great life in Bear Sanctuary, Pristina 🐻
10. Kasandra was a special bear who fell in love with Nace and lovingly growled at him right before she defecated in front of us 🙈

Welcome to the Republic of Kosovo,
I’m Tais, and I’m here in PRIZREN, the capital city.
Prizren was largely spared during the Balkan wars.
Coming here has given me a better understanding of its history, culture and its people.
This place is marvelous; I was not expecting to see it during a pandemic
Adapting to new situations, visiting new places makes us more global and culturally aware.
It keeps our mind sharp and helps with personal growth
I remember watching the breakup of Yugoslavia,
The resultant war on TV, too young to understand its extent at the time.
Finally, the chance to see this country came about, and I would be able to share it with you with my own eyes.
I thought Prizren well worth a visit, and the view from the castle, outstanding
Given that it’s not on the list of most popular tourist destinations.
It has excellent potential to be one of the top 10.
Kosovans are an incredibly resilient bunch, and we can learn a lot from them.
“Time heals all wounds.“
How many steps are required to close one door before you can push through to another?
Eventually, most of us forget and move on.
Perhaps we can all relate to that a little in our own lives.
