There are no greeks living in Boboshtica. I know because I have cousins there and visit them every year. A lot of people have worked in Greece and they have learned the greek language there. There are a few villages near Gjirokastra where ethnic greks live. Gjirokastra
A wonderful video of simpler and peaceful life in a village. People, nature, farm, cheese, bees, cooking, food... all fantastic! I wish I could take my grandsons one day to that village for a few days of vacation before I disappear from this world. They should see the real beauty of a meaningful life, different from a mechanical life in a large North-American city. I have met several Albanians in the past. They were like the people in the video: Without exception, they were all helpful, respectful, friendly and honest (and tiny bit stubborn too :)).
Honney don't make us Greeks! I'm an Orthodox Albanian not Greek. Orthodoxism don't belong only to Greeks. Don't offend us please! My ancestors fought and died for that church.
Guys don’t start with political comments. Be glad that he’s promoting our country and be thankful!! And yes I’m Albanian and i’m proud ! Respect also the Greek minority they’re People just like us !!!
The Greek minority is about 40.000 people and its promoting alot of political hate by giving passports to Christian orthodox Albanians of they declear they are Greeks They want to Grab Albanian territory and influence politically They are very dangerous political the people are simple but i have met alot of racists living in Albania working owning buisness and being racist
We respect "greek" minority as long as they dont have nationalistic views imposed by athens government. We have been raised together the ones creating division are the politics. They are not just greeks they are Greco-Albanians
They are not Greek, they speak Albanian. They tried their Greek on you but Boboshtica is very Albanian. The raki is made from "mani "which means "mulberry" in Albanian.
Wtf greek are you talking about..no greek in Albania maby 0.001% in Saranda part..Albania is crost by its own land..it was big Albania before 100 years ago and the big empires take the land of albania and gave to them..in northand in east took ex yugoslavia in south took Greec and stay of and the Albanian people
@@lilolana1253 If you want to know history of this region, you can't ask someone from this region: they are have their own chauvinistic make-believe story, whether Greek or Albanian. No one wants to admit how intermixed the ethnicities have been for 3,000 years.
@@AzerPaul i am from Albania..what are u talking about..i know very well..my father is from north Albania my mothet from south Albania..Albanian people are in and out side border..in greece Maqedonia Montenegro Serbia have miniority Albanian
@@AzerPaul very true , those lands were allways mixed with different ethnicities, but often people use this argument to justify their globalist ideologies, it's cool to have a village with albanians and then a few kilometers away a village with greeks, but the point is that we need to preserv that, beeing a little conservatives dosen't mean that you have to hate all people around you, of course it is important to take care of your people, your culture and traditions ,not like those globalist who wants to destroy everything, but it is also important to repsect people from the next village. I miss the times of empires....
the village is albanian but there are minority people living where you can not say for any area that is greek but we have some minority people who are greek as there are in greece hundreds of thousands of albanians who do not have rights that greeks have in albania fixed it is an EU state
Boboshtice is famous for its Mulberries and that raki is from Mulberries. By the way you can make raki from just about anything be that fruits, plants or trees but mainly it's made of grapes. We Albanians take a special trip to Boboshtice only to eat mulberries there. Lakror is a type of byrek but in the south-eastern region it's called lakror. The only problem I have with it is that when they bake it they burn the top. If that sac cover were to stay a bit higher and the baking process create rather a brownish crust it'd be perfect but otherwise it is heavenly delicious. Glad you met our best side, the true Albania. You hit the nail on the head. And if you have Italian heritage you more likely might have some Albanian ancestry as Illyrians and Romans travelled and migrated vice-versa in both lands, today's Italy and today's Albania. By the way legend goes Rome was founded by two Albanian brothers Romulus and Remus and our ancestors were under Roman conquest for 6 centuries.
Albania is to much crowded city tirana or less population country i want to settle down in Albania visa n paper work which person we can meet for my paper work in Albania please give me reply thanking you
stepping in to an Albanian house and trying to bribe our souls lol offering to pay for the food it’s a bit downput lol. 😝 😂just kitting we’re all good humans it’s just that Albanians in the higher mountains are in a different level of loving and kindness people thanks for stopping by come again
Everyone in this video is Albanian. No one is Greek. Unfortunately, some southern Albanians close to the Greek border are in the slow and generational process of assimilation (willingly and unwillingly) sponsored by the orthodox church. Due to this, many of the Albanians in the south have identity issues (much like the entirety of Greece). 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱
How you dare spreading greek propaganda.. these people were talking to you in ancient Albanian and protoIllyrian languages, who who has no connection with greek whatsoever.. you may have drank too much rakjia (that wasn't ouzo he was just trolling you) and heard greek words. but also names like constantinos and michail have albanian origin, even the name greece is an albanian word ... There's also a village next to Coritsa called Moschopolis who is totally brainwashed with greek propaganda.. glad you didn't came there to see what the greek propaganda made to these poor illyrian brothers.... orthodox churches, and a history of lies who says that there was one of the first press ever in 1700 and one of the biggest greek center in the Balkans....they also dared to call it Nea Athina before the great albanian ali pacha buried it down around 1820..
the people who do not know the history of Abrahamic religion get confused when they see the scriptures of the orthodox church... few people know that albania is one of the most ancient countries of Christianity
This is Albanian propaganda. I was born in Albania and all of my grandparents spoke Greek. Some didn't even learn Albanian their whole lives. All neighbours speak Greek. Even our names and the names of the villages are Greek. Either learn history or live in ignorance and hate. There is no shame to accept a part of the territory has shared culture with Greece. Its an honor for both countries.
Just to let you know This Village is 100% Albania So when you don’t know something it’s OK it’s worse than saying something it’s not true I can tell you have no knowledge About Albania so from now on before you go somewhere or say something do you research Don’t just go there and make a video So you can just post on TH-cam you have no idea what you’re doing you No wonder you have so many followers

Insane you got the real Albanian experience so happy for you!
Super video. Thanks a lot.
What a beautiful place and nice people!
nice video bro and wellcome in albania
Bravo bellissimo vidio.
If you use google translate they can read the translation and you can also try to play it out loud for them to hear.
Konstantine seems like a nice guy
Great
Wow just know those men who gave you coffee and raki genuinely love and appreciate your presence and meant nothing but goodwill towards you.
Well said
Please make a video how an Albanian village house looks inside?
I could definitely live there.
Have you ever tried some voice translator app?
yeah but English to Albanian wasn't working well at all. English to Greek is good but I didn't have data on my phone.
What's the name of that recipe the woman cooked.... that recipe makes me feel hunger
You’ve been treated to some amazing hospitality! What nice guys ! Drink more Raki and you can look like that dude at 70 😀
the village is albanian but there are minority people living where you can not say for any area that is greek but we have some minority people who are greek as there are in greece hundreds of thousands of albanians who do not have rights that greeks have in albania fixed it is an EU state
I totally loved this, Konstantinos looks like a gentle soul like you. Bravo from a Greek 😉
He's Konstantin. Not Konstantinos. This correction is from an Albanian. 😉
Konatandin djal ar qenke!!
Kostantine really funny nice guy
Mani means mulberry.
Can you please provide the name of the restaurant? Thank you!
Love the video... the hand thing is weird on the pov angle

Man I think you drank a lot Rakia, anyway I hope you’re doing well and enjoy. Big respect ✊
My question for the videomaker is: Are you a Greek living in USA? And if yes at least don't offend the hospitality of ALBANIANS
I’m not Greek
Kaskaval the same in Macedonia

Use google translate bro!
I had no internet connection!
she didn't make you lakror, she made you byrek. lakror has meat, and takes all day to make.
that's not burek mate
There are no greeks in Albania just people payed a pension to show themselves as such
the people who do not know the history of Abrahamic religion get confused when they see the scriptures of the orthodox church... few people know that albania is one of the most ancient countries of Christianity
You are right there is no Greeks there. Poor people try to call themselves Greeks to get some pensions from Greece
