During our 1988 trip across Albania, we had an Albanian guide in second who was a forestry ingeneer. He had with him a superb flora 600 pages of Albania “Flora ekskursioniste e Shqiperise”. When we were back to Tiranë, I asked our French speaking Albanian guide to help me get a copy of it. We visited half a dozen bookshops. They all had shelves loaded with the works of Enver Hoxha, of Marx and Engels but the Flora was out of print. We finally found a book shop that had one copy of this marvelous flora that I use each time that in the Balkans, I have a plant that I cannot identify otherwise. Of course, I had to buy Fjalor Frengjisht-Shqip and Fjalor Shqip- Frengjisht (dictionaries) in order to be able to use it. Flora ekskursioniste e Shqiperise |

You will find many stalls near the coast selling things like figs and olives if you want a snack on a long journey. Also in the summer nearly everywhere there will be stalls in towns or on the side of the road selling cooked corn on the cob. olives, figs, dried figs and sweetcorn cheap! |

Not that it was really a nice T-Shirt, but the fact is that this red T-Shirt is the only one you can find in all Sarande! So I bough one as souvenir (there was not much choice). After some bargaining, it costed me 4 euros. |

| on August 19, 2006 |
I have come across a couple of shops, one in the Sheraton that sells nice little gifts to take home and one in Tirana near to the cinema, on the other side of the road is a currency exchange and ice cream shop. This was the best one with a friendly owner. He had lots of different gifts from jewelry to wooden hand made boxes to copper tea sets. Different amounts depending what you buy. |

These embrioded napkins were the other possible souvenir to find in the few (2) street vendors I saw in Sarande. Didn't buy any, as I didn't like the stuff, so I can't tell you the price... |
