KOSOVO – What is this War-Torn Country of Europe Really Like? ????????
Travel Documentary Kosovo, Part 1. ???????? Is Kosovo still a war zone? Would we recommend you to travel there? Is it safe? We share with you our first-hand experience of Kosovo country in 2022.
Currently, the media are constantly reporting conflicts between ethnic Albanians and ethnic Serbs …
Yet, apart from these inherent tensions, there is also a very normal life in a very captivating country, which is worth discovering. Dua Lipa and Rita Ora, to name just a few examples, are proud representatives of their birth country Kosovo.
In our travel video, we shed light on this very young country that declared itself independent from Serbia in 2008, even though Serbia still considers Kosovo part of its territory. Most European countries, the United States, Australia, etc. recognize Kosovo’s independence, but a significant number of others do not (such as Serbia, China, Russia etc.).
Join us for a deep dive into Kosovo’s capital Pristina and the surrounding area. We bring in the shadows of the past (Kosovo War, Kosovo Liberation Army UÇK etc.) and throw light on present day life. Explore with us interesting (majority Albanian and Serb) villages, beautiful landscapes, unique people – and gain many insights.
We take you on a journey to a land that is still unknown to many! You will be intrigued.

Authentic KOSOVO FOOD in PRIZREN!! Shopping & Snack Tour | Prizren, Kosovo
???? TRAVEL MEDIA EU:
???????? DAVID’S BEEN HERE KOSOVO & ALBANIA SHIRTS:
The fourth day of my Albania/Kosovo trip continued with an afternoon exploring the beautiful city of Prizren, Kosovo! Come with me as I try authentic Kosovo food in Prizren, Kosovo and go on an epic shopping and snack tour!
???? RENTAL CAR ALBANIA:
We began our adventure later that morning in Prizren, which is said to be the most beautiful city in the country. It’s an ancient city but became important during the Ottoman period. There are lots of cobblestone streets, incredible architecture, and lots of mosques. I couldn’t wait to explore the city and eat!
My boy Erjan and I headed to some of the local shops. Our first stop was Tetova, a shop that sells sweets and has been around since 1956! They sell jellies, sours, nuts, dates, gummies, and more! I tried some salty, roasted nuts, some crunchy walnuts, and some delicious gummies!
Next, we stopped at a fountain at the very center of Prizren. People say you’ll stay in Prizren forever if you drink from the fountain! The way you stay there is by marrying a local girl. The water was fresh and cold!
Our next stop was Uje Dukati, a perfume shop which sells oils from around the world! The owner is from Kosovo but his father was from Syria. His shop smelled amazing. He made some eau de parfum for us right in front of us by mixing oil, water, and alcohol! Then, he sprayed some on me! He even kindly gave me some for free!
Then, we visited Luli Filigran, which has been around since 1968. This is a jewelry shop that makes beautiful handmade items. They had a lot of items for women and a few things for men, like the Albanian double eagle. He also imports from other places around the world. I bought a couple of filigrans for my daughters!
Next, we visited a sewing shop run by a man who has been sewing for 60 years! It’s so rare to find a sewing shop on the main street of a city these days. He used a 60-year-old iron and a 100-year-old ironing board! They only charge one Euro to fix a ripped item of clothing.
For lunch, we headed to Tiffany National Restaurant. Along the way, we passed lots of cafes and restaurants on the main boulevard. There were also lots of buildings with amazing architecture and two-story buildings, homes, and commercial spaces.
Here, they sell traditional Kosovo food. They had an open-air kitchen and a terrace outside with grape vines on top. I watched them make salad with cabbage, beans, cheese, grilled peppers on the coals, bread, some tavas, and more! I also couldn’t wait to try the meat! Everything looked so good!
At our table, we had two tavas, soup, meat, raki, and more. The raki was nice and smooth. Our appetizers included ivar (roasted red pepper paste), cheese with dill, salad (with cabbage, carrots, cucumbers, and beans), meatballs, and creamy peppers with cheese. The peppers were super spicy! Everything was farm-to-table, so it was super fresh!
The cheese with dill was super nice, and the ivar on the bread was unreal! The garlic, carrot, and cheese paste was also spicy and amazing! We also had dolmas, Elbasan tava, a meat-and-veg tava, and mantia.
The Elbasan tava was so creamy! I loved the veal and cheese. The mantia contained dough, meat, and yogurt, and the dolma contained cheese and was baked in the oven. Baking it gave it a smoky flavor and completely changed everything! The veal, tomato, and carrot tava fell apart in my mouth!
The meat patties with onion were smoky and juicy and blew my mind. The chef did an incredible job! Finally, for dessert, we had baklava, a delicious layered Ottoman dessert. It was sweet and contained ora, a honey-like syrup. So good!
Then, we headed back out. What a phenomenal meal!

Chasing Kosovo WATERFALLS!! Kosova Raki for BREAKFAST at White Drin Waterfall | Peja, Kosovo
???? HOTEL DUKAGJINI:
???? RESORT UJEVARA E DRINIT:
???? TRAVEL MEDIA EU:
The sixth day of my epic road trip through Albania and Kosovo kicked off in the gorgeous city of Peja, Kosovo! Come join me as I drink some raki for breakfast and then explore the White Drin River and waterfall in Peja, Kosovo!
???????? DAVID’S BEEN HERE KOSOVO & ALBANIA SHIRTS:
???? RENTAL CAR ALBANIA:
My day began about 30 minutes outside of Kosovo at the beautiful White Drin River. There’s a hotel right next to the river. I couldn’t wiat to have some breakfast, hike the area, and do some exploring!
We had a 30-minute hike around the river ahead of us. The rushing river goes through Albania and Kosovo. We approached the waterfall and got hit with the mist! It drenched us! The water comes from the mountains, so it’s super cold!
As we continued on, we reached a water fountain, where I took a drink. There’s nothing like drinking fresh mountain water!
Then, we continued to climb up some steps along the mountain. Re reached a bridge that crosses the White Drin right above a set of rushing falls. I had never been to a place like this before!
The path was super narrow and really intense, as it’s right above the falls!
Then, we continued along the path to the entrance of the second-largest cave in Kosovo. It’s called Sleeping Beauty Cave and is full of tunnels. Unfortunately, it was closed, but it’s open between April and October.
We began the hike back, and Erjan found a wild fire salamander. It’s a super beautiful creature! I had never seen one out in the wild!
We made it back to the hotel, Resort Ujevara e Drinit. The hotel’s restaurant, Moncafe, looks right over the river. It was so beautiful and peaceful, and the sound of the river is so soothing!
Erjan and I started with some espresso and paired it with raki, the way true Albanians and Kosovar people start their day! I loved the aroma. Most tourists probably won’t do this, but it’s the best way to immerse yourself in the local culture.
From there, we hopped in the car to head to Rugova Valley to do some ziplining! There are mountains, waterfalls, and canyons there. The area reminded me of Valbona and Montenegro!
Our first stop was a waterfall along the highway, which goes through the mountains. It was beautiful! There’s a restaurant right on the river with a sort of picnic area right on the river banks. It’s beautiful and relaxing, but it’s also cold! The Peja area is stunningly beautiful!
I crossed some of the rocks in the river and then we headed back up to the car. We reached another waterfall, and nearby we found a vendor selling honey, drinks, and raki bottles made from tree branches!
Unfortunately, the ziplining was closed, so we headed back to Peja to find more adventures! The drive to and from the city was absolutely gorgeous. The mountain scenery was unreal! You can hike and go rock climbing here!
We made it back to Hotel Dukagjini, our accommodations, and walked around the center of town. We saw the main square and pedestrian street and the I Love Peja sign.
What an eventful morning in and around Peja!

About Pristina: Pristina (UK: /ˈpriːʃtɪnə, prɪʃˈtiːnə/, US: /ˈprɪʃˈtɪnɑː/) is the capital of Kosovo and seat of Pristina Municipality and Pristina District. The largest city by area and population of Kosovo, Pristina is predominantly populated by Albanians and consitutes the second-largest Albanian-inhabited capital after Tirana, Albania. Inhabited by humans since prehistoric times, the area of Pristina was home to several Illyrian peoples. King Bardyllis of the Dardanians brought various tribes together in the 4th century BC and established the Dardanian Kingdom. The heritage of the classical era is represented by the settlement of Ulpiana, which was considered as one of the most influental Roman cities in the Balkan Peninsula. After the Roman Empire was divided into a western and an eastern half, the area remained within the Byzantine Empire between the 5th and 9th centuries. In the middle of the 9th century, it was ceded to the First Bulgarian Empire, before falling again under Byzantine occupation in the early 11th century and then in the late 11th century to the Second Bulgarian Empire. In the late Middle Ages, Pristina was an important town in Medieval Serbia constituting the royal estate of Serbian kings. Following the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans, Pristina became an important mining and trading center due to its strategic position near the rich mining town of Novo Brdo. The city was known for its trade fairs and items, such as goatskin and goat hair as well as gunpowder. The first mosque in Pristina was built in the late 14th century while under Serbian rule. // View of Pristina, Goddess on the Throne, Newborn Monument, Kosovo Museum, Clock Tower, Great Hamam and Imperial Mosque and Skanderbeg Monument.

Traveling to KOSOVO!! The LAND of DUA LIPA & RITA ORA!!
???? TRAVEL MEDIA EU:
???????? DAVID’S BEEN HERE ALBANIA SHIRTS:
After traveling through the areas of northern Albania that I missed on my first trip, my buddy Erjan and I set off on a road trip to my 79th country, Kosovo! Come with us on our latest Balkan adventure: traveling to Kosovo, Dua Lipa and Rita Ora’s country!
???? RENTAL CAR ALBANIA:
Our adventure began in the city of Kukës, Albania, near the Albania/Kosovo border, on the afternoon of the third day of my trip.
Kosovo is the youngest country in Europe and became independent in 2008. I’ve been wanting to visit it for years! It’s my 79th nation and I can’t wait to explore it. It’s also the country of Dua Lipa, one of the biggest music superstars on the planet, whose parents are from there, and singer and actress Rita Ora, who was born in Pristina. I’m going to explore it for 9 incredible days!
We reached the border, masked up, and sailed through with our passports. We were both wearing our qeleshe hats, which are considered very patriotic in Kosovo. It’s a very mountainous country with small cities, hiking, and lots of history, including medieval cities, towns, and villages. We were going to do everything we could, from hiking to seeing Ottoman bridges to eat amazing food!
The people in Kosovo speak the Albanian language, and all the signs and advertisements are in Albanian.
After some driving, we arrived in Brod, a small village of just over 1,500 people in southern Kosovo. It’s a big hiking and relaxation destination. We stopped at Arxhena Mountain Resort. It’s a big ski resort that has a funicular that takes you up the nearby mountain!
It’s a beautiful hotel with a stunning terrace with great views of the mountain. We checked in and headed to the funicular. As we rode up, I could see a little waterfall. It got colder as we headed up. It took 15 minutes to get to the top, where we had incredible views. From there, you can hike and ski.
We headed back down and saw a beautiful waterfall. I couldn’t wait to eat some Kosovar food! I imagined it would be similar to northern Albanian food: very meat- and dairy-rich.
Back at the hotel, I visited the relax center, which has a sauna, a steamroom, and two jacuzzis. They open in the winter when the hotel is at full occupancy. On the 4th floor are five suites, which have huge living rooms, a nice modern bathroom, and a spacious bedroom.
We passed through their outdoor terrace with old wood benches on our way to a room that serves as a mini ethnographic museum. There, you can see how Kosovar people used to live, including traditional clothing, how the room was set up, and more!
Then, I went to my room, 314. I had a nice bathroom, two beds, a heater, an office space, a flatscreen TV, and a balcony with a view of the slopes! Then, we went to eat!
We started with some local raki in their massive dining area. We had some mushrooms, shopska salad (which I ate a lot of in Bulgaria), a creamy pepper tava, white and yellow cheeses, black olives, and more! I loved the mushrooms!
I also couldn’t get enough of the airy, crispy pita bread with the creamy cheese-and-pepper tava. It was excellent! The yellow cheese was similar to manchego, while the white was softer but similar in taste. The shredded cheese and tomatoes in the shopska salad were fantastic, too!
Our main course was pljeskavica (a Serbian hamburger patty stuffed with cheese) and veal and lamb kofta (meatballs) with cheese melted on top. The pljeskavica was so gooey and fresh. There were also boiled potatoes with creamy cheese, which were so soft and good!
Then, we went to another room for dessert: some raki!
What an awesome way to end the third day of my trip!

Kosovo, officially the Republic of Kosovo, is a partially recognized state in Southeast Europe. It lies at the center of the Balkans. Kosovo unilaterally declared its independence from Serbia on 17 February 2008, and has since gained diplomatic recognition as a sovereign state by 97 member states of the United Nations. It is bordered by Serbia, North Macedonia, Albania, and Montenegro. Most of central Kosovo is dominated by the vast plains and fields.

Manastir Gračanica, Kosovo
Gracanica monastery was built by King Milutin on 1321 and dedicated to Dormition of Virgin Mary. The construction of the monastery began at 1310 and last until 1318 after which being frescoed in the following three years. Historical circumstances, under which the construction of the current church ran, are well documented. The main source of the information’s is the foundation charter of the monastery issued by King Milutin which is entirely preserved on the west wall of the south side of dome. The charter is written in 53 lines and it ends with ornate kings signature and the year 6830, according to byzantine calendar (1321, according to Julian calendar), located in lower right part of the Charter.
Gracanica monastery is located in the settlement with the same name 10 km south of Pristina. Written sources, as well as the destruction of the monastery complex of supporting facilities certainly testify the turbulent history of Gracanica. It is considered that the first time was burgled after the Battle of Maritsa 1371, and mentioned within as a part of long prayer to the Virgin Mary which is been preserved in one manuscript. Monastery was also desecrated in XVIII century, when the notorious Yashar – pasha ordered to strip the lead cladding from the roof and raise the stone slab from the floor for the needs of his constructions in Pristina. During the WWI, more precisely November 1915, Gracanica was burgled by Bulgarians
The time of 14th and 15th century was the period of great spiritual glory of the monastery. About hundred monks lived in Gracanica which developed very intensive spiritual and artistic activities. In the second quarter of the 16th century here it has been the metropolitan center of Novo Brdo, who founded the first printing office within the territory of medieval Serbia 1539. Later, due to the large Ottoman oppression, the monastery was abandoned and the church used for parochial needs.
After the WWII, the monastery was rebuilt by nuns and since then it serves as a nunnery. Today it is populated with 20 nurses engaged with icon painting, embroidery, agriculture and other monastic obedience’s.
The monastery was declared a Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance in 1990, and on 13 July 2006 it was placed on UNESCO's World Heritage List under the name of Medieval Monuments in Kosovo as an extension of the Visoki Dečani site which was overall placed on the List of World Heritage in Danger.
Манастир Грачаницу је саградио краљ Милутин 1321. године и посветио је Успењу Пресвете Богородице. Манастир се налази у селу Грачаница, 10 km удаљен од Приштине, административног центра Косова и Метохије. време 14. и 15. века био је период велике духовне славе манастира. У Грачаници је живело стотине монаха који су били развили веома интензивну духовну и уметничку делатност. У другој четвртини 16. века ту је било и средиште новобрдског митрополита који је у манастир донео и прву штампарију. Касније, услед великих турских зулума, манастир је напуштен и црква је служила за парохијске потребе.
Пре 1759. године Грачаница је била чисто арнаутско место, без иједног Србина. Они су се много раније склонили одатле, а Арнаути су уништили сваки помен на њих. Турци су били малобројнији. Међутим средином 18. века завладала је епидемија неке болести, због које су масовно умирали мештани Арнаути. Због те недаће остали су се иселили, а у опет напуштену Грачаницу, село око манастира дошли су опет Срби из околине. Мештанин Ђак Риста је био први свештеник у Грачаници после више векова и он је прву службу у манастирској цркви обавио.
Манастир је децембра 1893. године посетио Милојко В. Веселиновић и затекао његово незавидно стање. Унутрашњост цркве је била сва живописана а темпло је било скорашње - просто, сељачко. Лик Симонидин био је неоштећен, блистав. У десном олтару над зазиданим вратима скоро по целом зиду била је исписан текст Милутинове хрисовуље, дате манастиру. Пет црквених кубета била су од давнина покривена оловом, али тада се могао видети само плех. Било је то због Јашар-паше који је око 1820. године скинуо и узео олово за своје потребе. Године 1874. добио је манастир султанов ферман да може цркве покрити плехом, на чијем је месту до тада била ћерамида. Том приликом су били постављени и гвоздени крстови на кубетима. Током 1895. године нови игуман манастира Гедеон Марић путовао је по српству и скупљао прилоге за манастирску обнову.
Одбор за обнову манастира Грачанице и подизање маузолеја и Храма славе на Косову, изводио је радове од 1937. - нова камена ограда и нови манастирски конак итд. Велики радови су завршени почетком 1941.
После Другог светског рата, манастир су обновиле монахиње и од тада он служи као женски манастир. Данас у њему живи 20-так сестара.
Након рата на Косову и Метохији 1999. године у манастир Грачаницу је пренето седиште епископа рашко-призренског који је морао да напусти Призрен.

Kosovo STREET FOOD Breakfast in DRAGASH VILLAGE!! Driving from Brod to Prizren, Kosova
???? HOTEL CENTRUM:
???? TRAVEL MEDIA EU:
???????? DAVID’S BEEN HERE KOSOVO & ALBANIA SHIRTS:
As the fourth day of my Albania/Kosovo trip kicked off, I hit the ground running to explore more of Kosovo! Come along with me as I grab some authentic Kosovo street food for breakfast and then drive from Brod to Prizren!
???? RENTAL CAR ALBANIA:
My day began in Dragash village, which is the halfway point between Brod and my next destination, Prizren. My boy Erjan from Travel Media EU and I got an early start at seven a.m. because we had a jam-packed day ahead of us!
I had a hankering for some byrek, so we stopped at a shop called Extra, which sold byrek and lots of other Balkan favorites and coffee. It was a small shop with three tables. I got to watch them make some sweets.
Erjan and I started with some Turkish coffee and two different byreks: one with meat and another with cheese. We had some yogurt on the side. The byrek had been pre-cut into pieces. I loved the dough, which was really unique and tasted different from other byreks I’d had.
The meat byrek contained minced meat and was light, flaky, and airy. Meanwhile, the yogurt was liquidy and super tasty. The coffee, byrek, and yogurt went together really well. After you drink your Turkish coffee, you flip your cup over onto your saucer and someone can tell your future by reading the dregs.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have any Kosovo currency on me. Unlike Albania, which uses lekes, in Kosovo, they use Euros. I needed to find an ATM to pay the shop owner! As we hunted for an ATM, we came across a statue of Adem Jashari, one of the founders of the Kosovo Liberation Army, who died in 1998.
We also came across a small market where you can buy household supplies like combs, lighters, batteries, a broom, an axe, and homemade honey. It’s a true local experience in a small town. I found a bank and got my money, and then we continued on to Prizren!
The views we had as we drove along the road to Prizren were unbelievable. The expanses of countryside, farmland, and mountains was just stunning!
Prizren is the country’s second-largest city after the capital, Pristina. After we arrived in town, we passed a massive vegetable market. There were also lots 10-story buildings and lots of advertisements and commercial spaces.
We entered the Old Town. On our right was the Prizren River, which goes through the middle of the city. The road to get to our hotel was very winding and full of slopes. We passed by lots of cafés and hotels along the way. Erjan told me that this is his favorite Kosovar city, and that everything—shopping, restaurants, bars, mosques, churches—is located within walking distance.
We arrived at Hotel Centrum, and I headed up to Room 312. I had a nice, clean bathroom, a closet, desk, TV, two twin beds, and a balcony with an amazing view over Prisren. I could see seven minarets from there!
What a morning! I couldn’t wait to get out and explore Prizren over the next 24 hours!

How CHEESE is Made in KOSOVO!! Cheese Factory Tour | Pristina, Kosovo
???? MAGIC ICE:
???? TRAVEL MEDIA EU:
???????? DAVID’S BEEN HERE KOSOVO & ALBANIA SHIRTS:
In my latest adventure in my Albania and Kosovo series, I got the chance to visit a dairy factory! Come along with me as I see how cheese is made at a cheese factory in Pristina, Kosovo!
???? RENTAL CAR ALBANIA:
My day began at Magic Ice, a massive cheese factory just outside the beautiful city of Pristina, Kosovo. My boy Erjan from Travel Media EU and I would get to tour their facility and see how they make cheese, curd, ice cream, sour cream, and much more!
I had never been to a cheese factory this big before! Inside, we met with Syzane and saw a sign showing all of the ice cream varieties they make. They have two imported ice creams, but the rest are all theirs.
To keep everything inside the facility sanitary, we had to wear our face masks as well as a protective gown, hairnets, and shoe coverings before we entered the production area. It’s hardcore but necessary! I was super excited to be back in a cheese factory!
Inside were huge vats and containers where the cheese was being pressed. I couldn’t wait to see the whole cheese-making process. It smelled like pure milk inside. It smelled so good!
They take pasteurized milk and make yogurt and put it in a huge vat. Then, they extract the water, which leaves just cheese. They press the cheese into blocks and leave a little briny water inside the containers to keep the cheese soft and salty.
I watched them take blocks of cheese and pack them into large, bucket-like containers. They put 800 grams of cheese into each one, and then they add water and seal it.
Elsewhere, we got to see the pasteurization of the milk before it gets turned into a milky, sauce-like yogurt. Then, we saw the cheese in water, which is wrapped in a huge cloth, which presses out the water. After that, they let it sit for 40 minutes until it’s just cheese!
Next, we tried the Magic Ice Classic Cone, an ice cream cone produced at the facility. It was vanilla ice cream on a cone, and was a little nutty and had chocolate in it! The vanilla was amazing, and the ice cream was so sweet and creamy. It was like butter and melted almost immediately. It’s 100% milk and doesn’t contain any water! I loved how pure it was!
Then, we saw the process of making the curd. They have two types. One is saltier than the other. They had the curd in two huge vats and, depending on which kind of curd it is, it gets packed it into a differently colored plastic package, which they then vacuum seal. One is blue, while the other is pink. It smelled so good! The kind with fat was so creamy. It’s also super fresh! This cheese factory in Pristina, Kosovo is amazing!
Next, we saw everything that was packed in the refrigerator and ready to go to markets. It was only 3 degrees Celsius inside and there was a never-ending amount of cheese inside!
From there, we headed to another part of the facility, where we saw their Magic Cream (sour cream) and a freezer where the ice cream was stored. It was way too cold in there at -22 degrees Celsius, or 9 degrees fahrenheit! My face was frozen afterward!
Next, we got to taste a dense white cheese. It was very different from goat cheese and had a less crumbly texture. Then, we tried a creamier, more buttery feta cheese. Magic Ice cheese factory in Pristina, Kosovo is a truly incredible place!
What an incredible cheese factory tour in Pristina, Kosovo!

About Pristina: Pristina (UK: /ˈpriːʃtɪnə, prɪʃˈtiːnə/, US: /ˈprɪʃˈtɪnɑː/) is the capital of Kosovo and seat of Pristina Municipality and Pristina District. The largest city by area and population of Kosovo, Pristina is predominantly populated by Albanians and consitutes the second-largest Albanian-inhabited capital after Tirana, Albania. Inhabited by humans since prehistoric times, the area of Pristina was home to several Illyrian peoples. King Bardyllis of the Dardanians brought various tribes together in the 4th century BC and established the Dardanian Kingdom. The heritage of the classical era is represented by the settlement of Ulpiana, which was considered as one of the most influental Roman cities in the Balkan Peninsula. After the Roman Empire was divided into a western and an eastern half, the area remained within the Byzantine Empire between the 5th and 9th centuries. In the middle of the 9th century, it was ceded to the First Bulgarian Empire, before falling again under Byzantine occupation in the early 11th century and then in the late 11th century to the Second Bulgarian Empire. In the late Middle Ages, Pristina was an important town in Medieval Serbia constituting the royal estate of Serbian kings. Following the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans, Pristina became an important mining and trading center due to its strategic position near the rich mining town of Novo Brdo. The city was known for its trade fairs and items, such as goatskin and goat hair as well as gunpowder. // View of Pristina, Goddess on the Throne, Newborn Monument, Kosovo Museum, Clock Tower, Great Hamam and Imperial Mosque and Skanderbeg Monument.

Hearty KOSOVO FOOD in Gjakova!! Exploring Kosovo's Oldest Bazaar | Gjakova, Kosovo
???? HOTEL CARSHIA E JUPAVE:
???? TRAVEL MEDIA EU:
???????? DAVID’S BEEN HERE KOSOVO & ALBANIA SHIRTS:
The fifth day of my epic road trip through Albania and Kosovo began with a drive to Gjakova, Kosovo! Join me as I enjoy some hearty Kosovo food and then explore Kosovo’s oldest bazaar in Gjakova, Kosovo!
???? RENTAL CAR ALBANIA:
My day started at Terzijski Bridge, an Ottoman Bridge near Bistražin, between Prizren and Peja. It’s a beautiful medieval bridge that dates back to the 15th century. It’s an awesome example of Ottoman architecture in Kosovo!
My boy Erjan from Travel Media EU and I were both starving, so we set out to grab some food before exploring the city! We stopped at Hotel Carshia e Jupave, a hotel and restaurant in Gjakova that’s all about serving delicious traditional food. It’s Erjan’s favorite restaurant in the city!
In the kitchen, I watched the cooks bake bread and make meatballs, vegetables with meat, and much more!
At our table, we had an amazing-looking meat-and-vegetable tava, meat cooked on a stone, kofta (a meat patty with cheese on top), bread, cheese, and a salad. The meat was unreal, as was the beef tava. The beef was super tender and fell apart in my mouth. It was so juicy!
The beef-and-vegetable tava almost tasted like ajvar because of the red peppers in it. Ajvar is a paste made from red peppers and mashed eggplant. It was so tasty! Then, I tried some of the ajvar with the fluffy bread, which was fantastic. I loved it!
The kofta was nice and medium rare, just the way I like it. I couldn’t get over how good everything was. The best thing to do is to grab some meat, ajvar, and goat cheese with the bread and try it together. It’s unreal!
We finished with some local raki, which was nice and smooth!
Outside, we headed to a nearby café to grab a coffee to wake up after such a filling meal. Then, we headed to Old Bazaar, the oldest and most traditional bazaar in Kosovo. It’s non-stop restaurants, bars, and souvenir shops. This used to be an open-air market but has now been converted into commercial spaces.
The bazaar is huge. It consists of several shops, so there’s a lot to explore. We stopped by an arts and crafts shop where they can make sculptures of your family’s hands! From there, we stopped in a clothing shop with lots of traditional clothes with the Albanian double eagle! From there, we finished up by checking out a beautiful mosque!
What an awesome morning exploring Gjakova!

Foreigner exploring KOSOVO markets - what could go wrong?
Hi everyone! This is the ninth video in my Balkans series (taken before but posted after my Iceland & Greenland series). After noticing the popularity of my other Kosovo videos compared to the other videos on YouTube at the time, I decided to run a poll on YouTube, where I asked if people would want to see unseen footage of my Kosovo trip. The verdict was a resounding 'yes' - hence this extra video! :)
I recently ran a poll on YouTube asking if people would like to see more footage of my trip to Kosovo earlier this year. The result was an overwhelming yes!
To that end, I've put together a short video of previously deleted / unused scenes of me exploring markets in Pristina. As you will see in this video, the hospitality and friendliness of people in this part of the world is first class.
If you like this video, please make sure you watch the other videos in my Balkans playlist which also features more footage of Kosovo. And please subscribe to this channel!
Dungeons & DINOSAURS! | KRUŠEVAC, Serbia | SERBIA’S Unexpected SPOMENIK filled CITY! | Serbia TRAVEL
KRUŠEVAC, SERBIA - Episode 12 of my 2021 Serbia Travel series comes from the city of Kruševac, a city filled with unexpected gems, including dungeons, dinosaurs, spomeniks (monuments), history, architecture and much more!
We’ve been to amazing places in Serbia, such as Subotica, Užice, Novi Sad, Bajina Bašta and more, but for this video, I was based in Niš for the weekend, Serbia’s third largest city, where I spent three weeks in 2020. I decided to take a trip to Kruševac as it seems to be a Serbian city not many people talk about as a potential tourism destination in Serbia.
Founded by Prince Lazar in the 1300s, Kruševac is full of delights such as Lazarev Grad, an archaeological site, Lazarica Church, also dating back to the origins of the city, street art, war memorials, a miniature village in Bagdala and definitely more than one spomenik!
If you’re looking for things to do or activities in Kruševac, there’s a wide selection in this video!
