This shop is situated next to the restaurant as soon as you cross the border from Montenegro. It is small but well stocked. I am glad I bought some souvenirs here, as we didn't have much time to look for them on the other places. The prices were ok.

Street vendors can be spoted all along the way. It is a good way to buy some fruits to take with you. We bought some oranges and bananas. I don't recall how much we payed but I am sure it was not expencive. (if you have the change, you can pay in euros.)

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.
What to buy: He had lots of different gifts from jewelry to wooden hand made boxes to copper tea sets.
What to pay: Different amounts depending what you buy.

What to buy: You will probably see these T-shirts everywhere in Albania - as far as tourist souvenirs go, they and the Albanian flags are probably the best. I brought one back just so I can wear it and let everyone know where I have been!
What to pay: I think it cost me 700 leke, which is about ?3.50.

What to buy: we could eat at all the restaurant without getting sick but we couldn't eat the vegatables from the makets there, we could eat the wonderful bananas cost about 25 lek each (.25 cents) the oranges were great but turned even Rays cast iron stomach, we noticed they put regular water from the tap over the fruits and vegetables during the day to keep them fresh looking and that's a big no no don't drink the water. The water and the sewage lines run together in the towns that's enough said about that, drink the bottled water the Krystal brand was good some of them are just tap water in bottles the derby brand from durres made us sick.
What to pay: water, a big jug was 60 lek (.60 cents) small water bottles were between 40 and 50 lek so we just bought a big jug and kept filling our small bottles up with it.
