I think Albania i the most interesting country in Europe just now. So I would like information about south Albania because it is easy to go there from Corfu. Maps for this region is however not availabel in Norway. ( I mean detailed map) If I had a connection on Internet in Sarande it would be much easyer and more fun to go there. My E-mail adresse is: dag.steinum at tool.no Dag Steinum Moss Norway From silke.blumbach at t-online.de Tue Feb 15 17:11:34 2000 From: silke.blumbach at t-online.de (Silke Blumbach) Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 23:11:34 +0100 Subject: [Saranda-L] Saranda information for a Norwegian Message-ID: <12KqBy-18qICGC@fwd01.sul.t-online.de> This is a reply to a request of the Norwegian Dag Steinum, who is interested in Saranda because he thinks that Albania is now the most interesting country in Europe and because it is easy to get to Saranda via Corfu. Dear Dag, I am so glad that you wish to go to Saranda !!! First at all I would like to apologize for answering so late. The reason is that I wanted to get some concrete information before replying. How did you come across Saranda, and what awoke your interest in Albania? I am a board member of the German Cultural Centre in Saranda, wich I represent in Western Europe, especially in Germany. We would like to be a bridge between those who visit Saranda and those who live there. So if you have any question about Saranda, you may ask the president of the Centre, Skender Muco, with the following phone and fax number: +355-732-2972 and the Greek mobile phone: +30-944 94 65 80 (As there are only few telephone lines in Saranda, many Sarandians have Greek mobile phones.) Skender speaks "only" Italian and Greek, but he'll find someone who speaks English and ring you up. Or contact our Tirana representative Eva Kondi at the Ministry for Public Economy and Privatization: Tel.: +355-42-247 15 Fax: +355-42-224 71 or 279 69 Flying to Corfu is indeed the easiest way of going to Saranda, and there are daily ferries. You can stay, for example, at the Hotel Mediterane. It is located in the south of Saranda, almost at the entrance of the town, about 300-400 m from the sea. A double room with breakfast costs 21-22 DM a day, you can calculate what it is in your currency. For full pension you have to add 15-20 DM per day, and you can choose what you would like to eat. You can contact the hotel owner Astrit Zejno at: +355-732-28 39 or +30-944 15 75 85 It sounds like the Nordic female name Astrid, but in Albanian Astrit is a male name. And this is only one of the odds of this fascinating country. We are also planning to introduce family tourism. This means that guests are staying in an Albanian host family. On the one hand this is a direct economic benefit for these Albanians, on the other hand it fosters cultural exchange. You get into the real Albania and see that hospitality is not the usual promotional slogan, but a tradition deeply rooted in history. If you are interested in this program, let me know. How would you like to spend the time? What sites would you like to visit? Are you also interested in meeting Albanian artists or NGO representatives? My colleagues at the German Cultural Centre would be glad to help you out and to organize some nice excursions according to your interests. Butrint is almost a must. This archaelogical site belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage. This summer there will be a festival called "Butrint 2000", I'll mail you soon the exact data. If you want to know more about Butrint, you may write to my friend Lida Miraj at lmiraj at albnet.net . She is an archaeologist and has worked at Butrint. Her husband, my best Albanian friend, is the director of the National Historical Museum, the big building on the large square in the centre of Tirana. He had known Thor Heyerdal personally. So let me know if you intend to go to Tirana or Durres or some other place. >From Saranda you can also visit the national park "The Blue Eye", which is a magnificent lake. Some of the excursions are organized by Spiro Vengjeli, who was the first one to build up a private business in the tourism area. He speaks an excellent German. If you go to Saranda, you will be a tourism pioneer. Perhaps you won't find everywhere the standard you might be used to, but this is compensated by personal attention. Maps? I have a great detailed map of Albania, which I bought quite expensive in Germany. If you are interested, I can send you photocopies or even order the map for you. Saranda on the net? Unfortunately I found only one homepage of a Sarandian, who has a computer business, but the homepage had no contact address. There are some touristical, cultural and NGO links dealing more or less with Saranda and Butrint. I can send you the URLs, too. There is a way of getting (mostly) English information about Saranda and its surroundings: my e-group "Saranda Saranda". Please feel free to sign up. It is located at: www.egroups.com/group/saranda So in the next e-mail I am going to send you some more useful addresses and links. Heja Norge and Mirupafshim ne Sarande!!

Is it the first time you go to Albania? An informative website where you can find some useful information about Saranda is the site of the Butrint Foundation at www.butrintfound.dial.pipex.com/ In fact it may be difficult for you to get a ferry from Corfu to Saranda the date of your arrival. There are three ferries which leave between 8.30 h and 10.00 h (approximately, as the timetable is not that rigid). So perhaps you have to stay overnight in Corfu, for example at the Hotel Atlantis; phone: 0030-661-355 60 and fax: 0030-661-464 80. A double room costs 16.000 drachme a night and a single room 12.000. Apart from the Albanian Lek, in the Saranda area you will best get along with Greek drachmes. When I was in Albania, I went there with dollars, but I spent most of the time in Tirana. The German Cultural Centre can provide you with English-speaking contact persons. Besides, you may contact Auron Tare from the Butrint Foundation and "Auron Expeditions". I've just phoned him; his number is 0030-944-31 29 24 and his e-mail auront at yahoo.com . You can also find English speaking people at the Lidia Foundation and at St Luke's Hospital. As for the coast, there is a beautiful road between Saranda and Vlora just following the coastal line. What are you planning to do in Saranda? You are from an engineering enterprise and are interested in hotels. As I am collecting data and addresses about the touristical infrastructure in Saranda, I could share them with you or even put you into contact with hotel owners and other business people - Skender Muco, for example, owns a concrete business (Inerto Beton Saranda) - or teachers etc. in case you are interested. Tomorrow I am leaving for a one-week holiday in France (unfortunately not in Saranda), so if you have any question or request, I'll answer with delay. Yours faithfully Silke Blumbach
