• Himarë: Today’s your chance to witness a magical Iso-Polyphony performance - Albanian folk music that used to be sung in weddings, funerals & harvest festivals (and is included in UNESCO’s list of intangible cultural heritage!). It’s a tradition that traces back to almost 2600 years, but is sadly disappearing with time. Every penny we spend here will help preserve this beautiful piece of culture.
• Fishtë: Welcome to Mrizi i Zanave. Here, you'll have the chance to learn about sustainable farming. Then, we'll top it off with a wholesome organic dinner where the waiters will tell you where each local ingredient comes from. Seriously. It's so good, even Dua Lipa has visited this place!
