Albania is a small country in the Balkans. It shares borders with Greece, the Republic of Macedonia, Kosovo, and Montenegro. While the relative majority of the people in Albania are of Muslim heritage (60-65 percent), Albania also has a large number of religious minorities (mainly Albanian Orthodox and Roman Catholic - the largest Christian minorities in Europe along with Bosnia and Herzegovina).
Traditional Albanian culture honors the role and person of the guest. In return for this place of honor, respect is expected from the guest. Albanians enjoy long walks on city streets, drinking coffee, and among the younger generations, partaking in nightlife activities such as cafe lounging and dancing.
