Eric & Sitora's Albanian Adventure

A Wedding Party & A Holiday

We're already married, but we haven't had the celebration we dreamed of - surrounded by the people we love most, as the the Northern Star and the Pamir Moon make their 💍 vows.

“Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.” — Rumi

That's why we're inviting you to join us in Albania for more than just a wedding party. We want to spend quality time together, explore a beautiful country, and create unforgettable memories as a group. Think of it as a holiday too - a chance to relax, adventure, and if you'd like, get to know the friends and family who mean the world to us.

We've chosen Albania not just for its stunning coastline and rich culture, but because it's an affordable destination that makes it easier for everyone to join us for an entire week of adventure.

Gifts

Your presence is the only present we need.

We're already married and have everything we need for our home. What matters most to us is celebrating this special week with the people we love.

The gift we truly want is your company - your laughter, your stories, and the memories we'll create together in Albania.

A Taste of Albania

We visited Albania ourselves and these are our impressions. Albania is full of surprises - from vibrant cities to pristine coastlines, mountains and UNESCO World Heritage sites.

(No, the Albanian Tourism Board is not paying us. We just really liked it. Though if they're reading this... 👀)

🏖️ Durrës - Our Home Base

We'll organize group accommodation in Durrës, Albania's beautiful coastal city on the Adriatic Sea. Just 30-40 minutes from Tirana Airport, Durrës is the perfect base for our week together - and close to the wedding venue!

Ancient History

Explore the 2nd-century Roman Amphitheater, one of the largest in the Balkans, and wander through the historic old town.

Beautiful Beaches

Over 10km of sandy beaches along the Adriatic. Perfect for relaxing between adventures.

Waterfront Vibes

Stroll the palm-lined promenade dotted with beach bars, restaurants, and cafés.

🇦🇱 Beyond Durrës - Explore More

Tirana - The Capital

Just 30-40 minutes away. Colorful capital with Skanderbeg Square, Dajti Mountain cable car, and vibrant markets.

Albanian Riviera

Crystal-clear waters in Ksamil, stunning coves in Himarë, and hidden bays along the Ionian coast.

Albanian Alps

Albania's rugged interior—the Accursed Mountains in the north, hiking trails through beech forests, and small villages where life moves slower. A different side of the country.

Delicious Albanian Cuisine

Byrek (cheese or spinach pies), tavë kosi (baked lamb with yogurt), fresh grilled fish, fërgesë (peppers and cheese), qofte (grilled meatballs), and plenty of feta, olives, and tomatoes. Simple, honest food.
