The Republic of Albania is a country in Southeastern Europe.
The capital is Tirana. The population is about 2,986,952. Official language is
Albanian. Albania is a small, mountainous country in the Balkan peninsula. Albania
has a Muslim majority – a legacy of its centuries of Ottoman rule. The are a
lot of thing to do in Albania. Albanian seaside is perfect. The beautiful
beaches of the Ionian and Adriatic seas combined with great Mediterranean
climate and delicious freshly caught seafood would make up for a wonderful
holiday. Historical tours around the towns of Butrint, Gjirokaster, Berat,
Durres and many others would not leave anybody disappointed. Kayaking in the Albanian
Riviera or rafting on the Vjosa, Osum and the Black
Drin rivers is a great way of spending a holiday.
The postcard shows the distillation of raki in the Përmeti
Highlands. Raki is an unsweetened, anise-flavored Turkish alcoholic drink. It
is served as an apéritif. Men are
served raki, and sometimes Albanian water it down for ladies as well.
One stamp is
dedicated to the 150 years of the International Committee of the Red Cross, dated
29 October, 2013. The second stamp shows Albanian boxing.
By the way,
did you know, that Albania is called Shqipëria in Albanian?
Enjoy an anthem:
Thank you so much, Lydia!
