🌿 Is Albania Gluten-Friendly?
Albania is becoming increasingly accommodating for gluten-free travellers, particularly in tourist areas such as Ksamil, Sarandë and Tirana.
Many traditional dishes are naturally gluten-free, including grilled meats, fresh seafood, salads, rice and vegetables. However, gluten-free awareness is still developing, so it’s important to discuss dietary requirements with restaurants and hotels in advance.
Larger hotels and international resorts are generally better equipped to cater for coeliac disease and gluten-free diets.
Gluten-Free Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
