Thanks for watching, y'all, you know how much it means to see you here! ❤️So here's the million dollar question: would you take that wild road just to stay in this cliffside guesthouse? 😅
My father is Italian, and this looks just like the village my family is from back in Italy, even the inside of the homes! Love to my Albanian brothers and sisters 🇦🇱❤️🇮🇹
Italians are the best person and humanity makes them really unbeaten ! Ask an Italian in road for directions they help you ask in France and French don’t help you , so what are Italians for me?! They are like the salt in humanity story ! Really really good people and many things to learn from Them ! Always welcomed from Albania ! 🥇🇦🇱🙏🏻👋🏻
I spent 9 weeks in Albania. Swimming in the sea while looking at mountains was really surreal as I had never been anywhere like that before. Eating lamb at a restorant built in a mountain side and cave. Learning to speak Shqip. Une jam Amerikan dhe flet shqip :).Playing games with my nephews on Lungomare in Vlora. Making friends with the kind Albanianian people. My wife is Albanian and we had our wedding there. There was a bit more dancing than a standard American wedding lol. We had a beautiful wedding. Albania is a beautiful place.
@@mcrenn5350 idk if I am late, he is speaking about my hometown Vlora(it’s amazing you have to visit) there is a restaurant in the mountain overlooking the city and sea called shpella e fikut(I think this is the restaurant he is talking about)
@@politicsandart7994 Thank Youuu! You are not too late. I'll be heading to Albania in a few more days. I'm staying in Kruje but I'll make my way to Vlore as well =] Appreciate the response 😄
@@mcrenn5350 hey not many people know this but if you come to vlora and want to see the real beach just go a little to the south of the city its not that far just take the road for orikum. The sea there is super clean and beautiful because its the ionian sea. Have a good time!
@@politicsandart7994 Im having a blast! Albania has a rich and beautiful history and now that I've had a chance to visit the museum at Kruja and learn about the hero's history I can better appreciate your profile picture =) Going to try to make it to Vlora tomorrow but if I can also buy a ticket for Vivaldi's Skanderbeg Opera in Tirana my dream vacation would be complete !!
Been traveling around the world for almost 8 years now. From all the countries I've visited Albania has a special place in my heart not just because it's a beautiful untouched paradise by the masses but it also has the most heartwarming people I've met in my life. Much love and respect to all Albanians, cant wait to see you guys and your wonderful country very soon again.
I have been in Albania several times. In a city named Krujë. We were renovating a maternity. The people were the most welcoming I ever met and I have seen a lot of the world
@@jilllangman9343 We renovated a local maternity, which was in very bad shape. We supplied the funds and did the project management. Local contractors did the actual work.
One Albanian folk proverb says: "Your house belongs first to God, then to your visitor, and only after that to you" (maybe I did not manage to translate it properly, but anyway...). Albanians are very welcoming and generous people. Greetings from Slovakia!
True. And another one:"bukë e krypë e zëmër t bardhë" =bread&salt&white heart(my grand grand parents lived their lives in a remote area just like Petrit and Dusha, if they had a visitor all the family would starv for the time they were hosting but the visitor would eat, as it was poverty you can guess what was offered :) JAM KRENAR QË JAM SHQIPTAR 💪❤️🖤🕊️
I really like the sentiment off that and I agree but I cant promise it will always look perfect and be 100% tidy but my guests always come first for sure
@@BennyDACHO you are right, many nations claim that they are welcoming. But very few really prove it. I was working as a hotel rep and tour guide in Albania for three summer seasons and I can confirm, that such level of hospitality is uncompared in Europe. Only in Middle East. The poorer the people are, the more welcoming are they, in generally. Try to come to a house visit in Germany, Netherlands or Belgium. They will get you literally NOTHING. :)

As an Albanian I knew about this place. They got the wrong way to go up there. This road is getting constructed from Tepelena side and the seaside one and this village it will turn into an elite touristic place. Sweden is investing heavily in this village as the road when it finishes it brings you to the seaside for less than 40 minutes. Our Prime minister was yesterday up there to check how the work in the road is going on and it is a wonderful place, if you see it in a good weather.
I am Albanian and I watched the clip with pleasure, you have seen only 1% of Albania, it will take a long time to visit all the beauties of nature that God has forgiven us. We have sea, fields, mountains, valleys, canyons, thermal baths, castles , histori etc! It was fantastic video!
@@ashleyroblox2969 hi Ashley....wanna come over to visit next month ...all this nice Info's about Albanian are very very interesting...but no one is talking about how its people treated blacks Africans i hope equity works over there....much love from Nigeria
What a truly beautiful country Albania is and how truly hospitable its people are. Yes indeed, the risks were there with these damp rain-soaked roads but Nivas are sturdy and very capable offroaders, at the end of the day this trip was well worth it, very enjoyable. I must say that the nature of Albania is quite similar to my country's Lebanon.
Thank you. I have seen Lebanon( on TV) and it is quite similar like Albania, but this area is the South of Albania, a bit drier, but if you see the North and East of Albania is lush green and spectacular. Albania is surrounded by the Alps in the North, it's just an amazing place, full of rivers, lakes and streams. Literally everywhere you go in Albania, is just spectacular because there isn't a single place in Albania without mountains on the background. Cheers from Albania to Lebanon!
@@ireneshqipe1353 I very much hope that one day when Lebanon would return to some form of normality, that I would be able to visit Albania. I believe that people like me owe so much to Eva who takes so much time and dedication in her Vlogs to show the true side of people and country. On a side note I very much believe that as Albania grows in popularity, that its pristine nature will be preserved, here at least I am reflecting my nature as a person who cares so very much for the environment. Thank you Irene, may God bless your beautiful country and your lovely people, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and to all the viewership here.
This is national geographic material 👏 Love the aerial views! Breathtaking ! I grew up in Greece 🇬🇷 these are my neighbors and my friends 🌾 Great video ! My gratitude 🙏
Been in Albania 4 times. Always in my heart. This place looks no less than amazing. Hope to visit this special country again in 2021. Thanks for the video.
I lived in northern Greece for 10 years in two separate blocks. The first time back in the 80's Albania was still closed and the second time it was still difficult to visit. Our next-door neighbours were a lovely Albanian family who used to give us pomegranates from the tree in their garden. I can still remember escaping from the former Yugoslavia just as it decended into civil war. The people were so friendly and kind and I still wonder whether they got through okay 😔
She's screaming and her companion is very calmly doing his best to get her there safely. He is an exceptional driver and kudos to him for negotiating that amazing road. That is quite honestly one of the most amazingly beautiful places on earth. Thank you for sharing!
That's basically every driver here in Albania. Even in the worst case scenario we keep it cool and try to get over with it without having the need of extreme emotional burst. That's a bad thing when you are actually in a bad spot. You gotta keep your cool.
It makes me so happy when I read such a good coments from people who thru you get to know my country. But most of all the fact that you try to discover the gems of Albania, not just places that everyone know. Thank you so mich dear Eva.
I was thinking that and I am not even Gay, he looks a bit like Rollo Clive Stanton from Vikings series! , but is still the Eva is the sweet cutie pie adventurer!! No idea how she studied that Kiera Knightly! accent! to perfection, it is not easy to speak from an Eastern European origin, it takes practice and dedication! I can barley speak that way actually I can not! as it is a unique posh feminine accent she fluctuates at times to different accents American but speaks and switches back to this Kiera knightly accent very well! Very impressed!
Albania is now on my bucket list. What a stunning country. And, as a Tolkien-lover, I have to say that cliffside village would make a perfect, real-life location for Rivendell.
I was there 2019,as a solo traveller.It was easy to get around and see the country by mini bus..find the station and just state your destination. I would recommend the south,especially Himare,don’t miss Berat. Infrastructure pretty good and people too.Get going enjoy.
I recently found out your channel, so freaking real. I am an Albanian immigrant , living all her life abroad , I miss my homeland even though haven’t lived there.., this video made me cry...thank you! 😭🤞🏼
Never even thought of how spectacular these Balkan countries like Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Bosnia, Serbia, Macedonia, Kosovo are. Spectacular! Must visit!
@@mikolaoleksandriv9763 These guys from West do not know that Serbia still has its own mind... twenty some years after the war... they think Kosovo is an independent country... well judging by the facts, it is. Pozdrav
How little it took for a person to be happy. And then we gave everything up for things that own us now. If we could all go back in time, wouldn’t that be wonderful.
@@tamilcinemareview That's good. Try your best. Sometimes it's chemical. Either way you should not suffer. If ever things get bad have faith, get help and be patient since things will get better in time. :)
You and another youtuber (DavidsBeenHere) have been my inspiration to visit Albania. Keep on exploring so that other travelers like us can follow your footsteps and explore these magical places!
I've been to Albania a few times and l absolutely loved it. And my best friends in the UK are from Albania🇦🇱. I'm looking forward to visit Albania again, hopefully in the summer.
@@chinabot6954 beautiful, I traveled last year and I’m going this summer too! I stayed a month and a half! Pretty happy with everything, mostly my experience in the hospital, wich compared to care in usa is 100% times better! My son got a little fever one day . Beautiful place, peaceful
I want more stories about this village Eva, it’s mesmerizing, awesome and extremely yet amazing adventure of yours. And take note, your companion is good looking. He sounds and look like Gerard Butler. You’re cute together! You have an amazing host. Beautiful Albania ❤️
If you go to Albania, there are hundreds of villages deep in the hills or mountains surrounded by beautiful nature amd good people where you can also find natural food.
@@huomftimg i mean USA's denocracy has killed millions, so hard to argue morally which is better. Iraq, Iran, Cuba ,Chile, Libya, Vietnam, USSR, Afghanistan, Syria are some of the places that have been fucked over by the so called greatest democracy so......
wow nice video! as a Greek for one moment I was convinced that i time travelled to my origin mountain village in Pelloponisos during 70s. I really cried when I saw the faces and the house and the old man with the donkey.
@@malvasia17 So all humans have same DNA, even after this statement we are different lol. Anyhow, I was referring to the haplogroup Ev13, which is predominantly in Albania, Kosova, Greece and South Italy. These are the facts you like it or not!
What a wonderful video. Took me right back to my childhood, with grandpa and grandma sitting by the fire, lights out, my brother and I playing board games with our parents, under the light of a single candle. How I miss those days 😥 Thank you Eva!
@Kristian Pepaj Depends on what you call "beautiful". Greece has no rivers and mountains like Albania and Bosnia and albanian riviera is far more beautiful than any beach in Greece. I spent my vacations 7 yeara in a row i different islands and only in Thassos I found e sandy beach which wa really beautiful because it was newly buit a road to come there and it was untouched. The rest was ok but not more.
This brings me so much hope for the future! The modern age allows us to connect, share and enjoy each other - with all of our differences. This is how we build Peace on our Earth! Thank You!
Nivica is very beautiful as the rest of Albania. I still have to go there. It's my mother's origin from Nivica. Albanians lived on the top of mountains to be unreachable from enemies. In a village near Nivica, also in mountains during the otoman occupation, Sopoti, when ottomans reached the village (the men of village were all killed in the battle) the women for not to end up on enemies hands, jumped off the cliffs with their kids in hands. Mountains are sacred for us. We still pray to them.
I feel underinformed... brother, why are you shaking hands with Albanians (Scythians)? My Polish mind is confused a little... but OK, we also aren't pure, since we allied with Hungarians...
Bulgaria has some beautiful places as well. One of the bonuses of my moving from the UK. The rakia is lethal, unfortunately the Cardiologist has forbidden my drinking it.
Hi Angel. I travelled from the border of Albania all the way to the black sea. Pretty smooth once you pass the Macedonian capital, Coming back you start hitting mountainous roads and villages. Had a great time in Sunsheg breg.
If Adi promises me to be my guide ill definitely stay here 😍. Ill take him out for coffee whenever Im in Albania 😉. you must let him now he is very good looking. oh almost forgot-- the village is stunning. The way its perched on the cliff makes it really interesting
Thank you for taking and showing us this beautiful and remote village high on the hills of Albania. Amazing and very hospitable couple. Very heavenly place. I wish I had a bottle of Rakia next to me right now as well. Cheers and thank you so much from Australia ❤️🥰😘
Your videos are a blessing. Thank you so much for sharing. I’m a RN taking care of the dying secondary to the COVID pandemic which is demoralizing, but your travels, kindness, sincerity, fire that burns in you is refreshing. Brings me up after a long shift. Much love to you. Safe travels.
Your adventures are the most diverse i have seen.. Every time something new and different. Greetings from lone bike traveler from Bulgaria p.s. That grandma reminds me of my, she also use to neat all the time
When you said you were going to Nivice, I was so excited because that’s my village but then I realized you went to the other Nivice (there’s 2 villages called nivica in Albania) but still I’m happy you enjoyed Albania!!

Albanians really love these remote places to live where nobody can disturb them. This country has suffered a lot from Armies and Empires passing through and raging havoc on its people, so people had to find these places hidden in the mountains that are so hard to be found. There Albanians lived centuries past centuries, completely cut off from the world around them, happy on their own little world....
@Yair Almassi Evreuklovic First of all, right now only losers are in Greece, the farmers who work there only during seasons and historically Greece has had the lowest educated Albanians and criminals who broke out from Communism prisons. The educated emigrants are in Western Europe and in America. Secondly, if you are a Greek or a Slavic neighbour, why don't you ask yourself why are you as well around Europe, emigrating and working there the same way as we are? If you are a German or an English I wouldn't say a thing. As for others, starting from Italy, Spain, Portugal,Greece, Eastern Europe we are all in the same basket - all emigrants including you yourself. Who are you kidding here? LMFAO.! P.s. I've never been to Athens,( never got my interest) and I've travelled a lot ( USA included).
I am a Filipino but I love RAKIA so much! I've learned to drink RAKIA when I was working in a cargo ship. There were to ship's crew from BULGARIA who doesn't speak English so much. The day when they arrived in the port, I took a long rope, I released the tip of the rope down, I pull their luggage up and wandering how heavy it was. In the evening they secretly invited me to join them intheir cabin and I was really surprised when I saw 6 big gallons of mineral water gallons 5 liters each were refilled of RAKIA🤩
Politics does this, we have same characteristics, you are comparing us with Turkey and we do not like you because you connect everything with religion. To be honest Albanian language is considered evil language from greek orthodox church 🤷 I love greeks, we are the same but politics does not want us to have peace
Albanians and Greeks have same DNA just different religion our politicians make the locals hate each other and the young generation is moving on and doesn’t really care to much about history
Thank you for visiting my beautiful homeland ❤️ Warmest hearts, astonishing memories and incomparable views ,that’s what I’ll always carry with me! 🙏🏻❤️ Të dua Shqipëria ime!
cool! how did you find that place and arranged where to stay and where and how to go explore? Albania seems super beautiful and raw, simple living and I like it.
@@originalmix2546 The first time I went by myself took a bit of planning in 2010 I could travel from literally one end of the country for 20 dollars US easily. Would like to return to see how things have changed in the past decade. I do like to get off the big tourist trails.
From the coast of gold acrros the seven seas, im travelling on far and wide, but now i see i'm just a stranger to myself, and all the things that i sometimes do it isnt me but someone else.
Aww, this was lovely. All the places I want to live are so similar to this, with such warm kind people. And yes, I would take that road, and then never leave :) Thank you so much for this.
@@fidriii539 Aww :) Tell me, are there mosquitoes? I just found out that there are hordes of mosquitoes in the mountains in south central Italy :( I live in a place with no 'bugs', but becoming far too many people....
This road reminds me of a road I stayed on in Spain. My accommodations were on the edge of a Natural Park that had only gravel roads. My octogenarian mom was scared to death everytime we traveled to and from our accommodation. No guard rails like in the USA. Such a great memory. I would LOVE to take the drive you showed. What a thrill!
So pleased we got you there in one piece! What a great video, and it was such fun to show you one of our favourite spots in Albania. Hope you do make it back when the weather is warm and dry! We'll have a Lada Niva waiting for you..
Ahh, it's so good to know about Drive Albania- so many times as a single woman you want to go to these out of the way places and it's a bit dodgy asking random locals to drive you but you don't want a group tour. :)
One day when I woke up I had a dream that I'm in Albania it was a really nice dream ..that morning I promised myself I'll go there one day and I'll oneday
Thank You Eva ! I had a great stay in Tirana & visited Kruja What an amazing country … serene, untouched natural beauty and the warmth of people could be felt all around I just realized Subconsciously it was perhaps watching your RUclips channel that attracted me to visit Albania 🇦🇱 with my family !

I would like to stop here too for a moment and acknowledge how cute Eva is.
sure.
I was thinking that and I am not even Gay, he looks a bit like Rollo Clive Stanton from Vikings series! , but is still the Eva is the sweet cutie pie adventurer!! No idea how she studied that Kiera Knightly! accent! to perfection, it is not easy to speak from an Eastern European origin, it takes practice and dedication! I can barley speak that way actually I can not! as it is a unique posh feminine accent she fluctuates at times to different accents American but speaks and switches back to this Kiera knightly accent very well! Very impressed!
Poser though
Yes! So handsome! 😍😍😍😍 and she is too!
Albania is now on my bucket list. What a stunning country. And, as a Tolkien-lover, I have to say that cliffside village would make a perfect, real-life location for Rivendell.
I was there 2019,as a solo traveller.It was easy to get around and see the country by mini bus..find the station and just state your destination.
I would recommend the south,especially Himare,don’t miss Berat.
Infrastructure pretty good and people too.Get going enjoy.
You need to visit Gjirokastren because is old city and my city have the most big castle in ballcan,🤗
How do you know if someone loves Tolkien? They'll tell you!

Come for a visit!!!!!!

Eva, what a fantastic video of your journey in Albania. Thank you. This really warmed my heart.
Never even thought of how spectacular these Balkan countries like Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Bosnia, Serbia, Macedonia, Kosovo are. Spectacular! Must visit!

The trick to drinking Raki is to sip slow. If you empty the glass 100 times they will fill it 100 times.
That's called cheating 😂😂😂
hahahahahahahahahaha so true that's why I love Albanian culture
I've been to Albania a few times and l absolutely loved it. And my best friends in the UK are from Albania🇦🇱. I'm looking forward to visit Albania again, hopefully in the summer.
Let's hope sanity returns!

I’m traveling to Albania this summer! I can’t wait
Hope u r enjoying ur time here,
How was it
@@chinabot6954 beautiful, I traveled last year and I’m going this summer too! I stayed a month and a half! Pretty happy with everything, mostly my experience in the hospital, wich compared to care in usa is 100% times better! My son got a little fever one day . Beautiful place, peaceful
The family is adorable, you can feel welcome and the kindness of the entire family is evident in their actions.
This seems to be the most beautiful place in the world... I would love to live here. Very nicely made video love your content.

I want more stories about this village Eva, it’s mesmerizing, awesome and extremely yet amazing adventure of yours. And take note, your companion is good looking. He sounds and look like Gerard Butler. You’re cute together! You have an amazing host. Beautiful Albania ❤️
If you go to Albania, there are hundreds of villages deep in the hills or mountains surrounded by beautiful nature amd good people where you can also find natural food.
I think “mesmerizing” is the word, indeed. Loved this video!
Albanians thrive in danger,mentally and physically strong,great hospitality.
Simplicity is underrated.
90% of Albania is mountainous
That's because we have had a tough life, my friend. Really a tough life

Albania just like the most of Balkan looks and is unbelievably beautiful.
@Kristian Pepaj Depends on what you call "beautiful". Greece has no rivers and mountains like Albania and Bosnia and albanian riviera is far more beautiful than any beach in Greece. I spent my vacations 7 yeara in a row i different islands and only in Thassos I found e sandy beach which wa really beautiful because it was newly buit a road to come there and it was untouched. The rest was ok but not more.

Will, tou are welcome to my channel.
I would stay there in a heartbeat!! Beautiful and thank you to the host and hostess!!
Wow, that village looks amazing. Those waterfalls were so lovely.
Nivica is very beautiful as the rest of Albania. I still have to go there. It's my mother's origin from Nivica. Albanians lived on the top of mountains to be unreachable from enemies. In a village near Nivica, also in mountains during the otoman occupation, Sopoti, when ottomans reached the village (the men of village were all killed in the battle) the women for not to end up on enemies hands, jumped off the cliffs with their kids in hands. Mountains are sacred for us. We still pray to them.

We still sing about mountains but we don't pray to them!
Beautiful village, the more I enjoyed is the rain, peaceful sound of the rain, for sure al over the world villager people are hospitable
Greetings to my neighbors ✌ from Croatia

I feel underinformed... brother, why are you shaking hands with Albanians (Scythians)?
My Polish mind is confused a little... but OK, we also aren't pure, since we allied with Hungarians...
Albania is so beautiful.I would love to go there.Its not far from my home in Bulgaria
Bulgaria has some beautiful places as well. One of the bonuses of my moving from the UK. The rakia is lethal, unfortunately the Cardiologist has forbidden my drinking it.
Hii
Hi Angel. I travelled from the border of Albania all the way to the black sea. Pretty smooth once you pass the Macedonian capital, Coming back you start hitting mountainous roads and villages. Had a great time in Sunsheg breg.
The drone footage from those cliffs is magic. Amazing village!! The house on the edge of the canyon :)
she slept at that house thats the guesthouse
Every inch of Albanian soil is a gem and a panorama
If Adi promises me to be my guide ill definitely stay here 😍. Ill take him out for coffee whenever Im in Albania 😉. you must let him now he is very good looking. oh almost forgot-- the village is stunning. The way its perched on the cliff makes it really interesting
Thank you! 😎😎😎
Thank you for taking and showing us this beautiful and remote village high on the hills of Albania. Amazing and very hospitable couple. Very heavenly place. I wish I had a bottle of Rakia next to me right now as well. Cheers and thank you so much from Australia ❤️🥰😘

So beautiful, Subhan Allah. Reminds me of Himalayan village life in Pakistan 40 years ago before the advent of internet and mobile phone.
Albanians really love these remote places to live where nobody can disturb them. This country has suffered a lot from Armies and Empires passing through and raging havoc on its people, so people had to find these places hidden in the mountains that are so hard to be found. There Albanians lived centuries past centuries, completely cut off from the world around them, happy on their own little world....
I am Albanian :) I left my home (Kosovo) to move to America and never been back. I hope to visit some day.

Are they in a relationship? They seem so comfortable around each other & they would make a cute couple.
I barely know where Albania is, and I never could have imagined such a wonderful mountain village.
All around Albania villages are like this. The country is mountainous, you never run out of beautiful landscapes in every direction.
@Yair Almassi Evreuklovic if Greece is that beautiful then why Greeks moved to England Germany Sweeden USA etc. It doesn't make sense your question!
@Yair Almassi Evreuklovic stop being mean 😪 just keep your anger to your self we love Albania
@Yair Almassi Evreuklovic First of all, right now only losers are in Greece, the farmers who work there only during seasons and historically Greece has had the lowest educated Albanians and criminals who broke out from Communism prisons.
The educated emigrants are in Western Europe and in America.
Secondly, if you are a Greek or a Slavic neighbour, why don't you ask yourself why are you as well around Europe, emigrating and working there the same way as we are?
If you are a German or an English I wouldn't say a thing. As for others, starting from Italy, Spain, Portugal,Greece, Eastern Europe we are all in the same basket - all emigrants including you yourself.
Who are you kidding here? LMFAO.!
P.s. I've never been to Athens,( never got my interest) and I've travelled a lot ( USA included).
Such beautiful landscapes Maashallah, God's creation is beautiful.
Mother nature!...
@Kristian Pepaj Yes, mother Theresa was also Christian
what a beautiful village, so picturesque, tranquil , heavenly, and lastly nice video from you guys
I have had the pleasure to meet and befriend people from there and they are very friendly and sweet - Great video (mirupafshim) :)
Holy crap did you take 3 shots of Rakia?! Legend lol
The way she took>level EPIC
lol yes raki is very strong and she really did that
she's polish I'm sure she had stronger sh*t before
That village is the epitome of "picturesque".
You should see it in spring when everything is blooming. Now it is winter..
I am a Filipino but I love RAKIA so much! I've learned to drink RAKIA when I was working in a cargo ship.
There were to ship's crew from BULGARIA who doesn't speak English so much.
The day when they arrived in the port, I took a long rope, I released the tip of the rope down, I pull their luggage up and wandering how heavy it was.
In the evening they secretly invited me to join them intheir cabin and I was really surprised when I saw 6 big gallons of mineral water gallons 5 liters each were refilled of RAKIA🤩
You have an addiction 😭
Holy cow how similar we are. Greetings from Greece!
Politics does this, we have same characteristics, you are comparing us with Turkey and we do not like you because you connect everything with religion. To be honest Albanian language is considered evil language from greek orthodox church 🤷 I love greeks, we are the same but politics does not want us to have peace
Albanians and Greeks have same DNA just different religion our politicians make the locals hate each other and the young generation is moving on and doesn’t really care to much about history
Albanian and greeks have the same DNA historical fact
I was here about to say that and saw your comment 😄 greetings from Turkey 👋
if you put religion on the side for 1sec we are the same people we have been neighbors for thousands of years 🇦🇱🇬🇷
