People & Culture of Albania

Many civilizations, including Ancient Greeks, Byzantines, Romans, and Ottomans, have influenced the culture. There are two primary cultures and languages according to two groups; the northern Ghegs and southern Tosks. Albania is home to both Islam and Christianity. Religious tolerance and respect are important values for Albanians. Two religious communities peacefully coexist with their distinctive traditional spiritual practices. Albanians have Christian and Islamic religious holidays along with pagan festivals like Dita e Verësl. "Kanun," a compilation of ethics and values, considers "besa," keeping promises, as the most important concept. This term shows that fulfilling promises and becoming an honourable person is crucial. "Oda" is a traditional house receiving guests welcoming them in a proper place. Hospitality is a fundamental custom in Albania. The large cuisine with Mediterranean meals also contributes to the rich culture of Albania.
