Tirana Shopping Tips by Arkeolog Top 5 Page for this destination

dont remember, sorry :(: Handmade figured plates

I think the souvenir shop is on the Kavajes Street.

What to buy: I bought figured plates by a local artist. Souvenir of Tirana wasnt attractive to me because Im from Istanbul and those souvenirs of Tirana is quite familiar to me. Ottoman style souvenirs coffee pots, tea sets, Ottoman daggers, clothes etc could be attractive for many people but not for a guy from Istanbul :( Anyway those plates are nice and decorative. Im happy to find them. Also locals describe a shop which was very famous for its Albanian dolls in the city center but it was closed during my stay...

What to buy: There you can find novels and other publications in different languages, books about the country and guidebooks to make your visit to Tirana a bit easier. Adrion also has the best selection of souvenirs and gifts to be found in the country.
