KORÇË - The "PARIS" of ALBANIA?? 

Thank you, everyone, for your comments about the church situation! I had read some inaccurate information online (several times actually) that all churches were destroyed during communism. It turns out that is not true. Most churches were not destroyed, but religion was banned.

What a beautiful place. Great work. I loved it. I’m going to Albania this July. Also Great shots with the drone 👏

the first church is older than the one on top of mountain, both after 1990. Korçe region has some of the oldest and most beautiful churches in all of the Balkans, some dating back to 10th to 13th century...Some churches in Albania rank among the oldest in the world 4th century even earlier

FYI that church is not the oldest. We have very very old churches all over the country.

The religious temples only change the function during that time (not for religious purpose,but as halls or was closed).Only few of them were demolished.nice video

I am afraid you understood something wrong. Religious temples were only demolished in a few cases. They were mostly modified from inside and used as city halls, sport centres, warehouses or for similar purposes in public life. Communism also had an impact on other aspects such as tearing down older city parts only to construct buildings in a Brustalist style (for instance the Tirana Bazaar war torn down unfortunately). Other than that, I really enjoyed your video, especially your amazing drone shots :)

By Paris we don't mean the architecture. It is more about people's culture and mentality. Korca is one of the oldest urban centers in Albania and that is reflected in the people's way of living.

Greeks love Albania!

Never visited Korçë when I was in Albania but I deffo drank a lot of Birra Korça

Very love from Albania 🇦🇱❤️

God bless every christian who belive in god son and holly spirit

I like when say, korca is a small Paris ❤️

I’m from Korca and the cathedral is not the oldest religious platform. There are tons of other churches around town as well as mosques. Communism did not demolish these buildings. It just prohibited practicing different religions.

Albana is beautiful , korce too 😍❤

Beautiful place...god bless

I am an Albanian living in Greece and i know 4 Albanians who come from korca albania had seen a population decline throught the yeats

Waww beautiful church beautiful view 🙏🙏🙏

Hi korca has it's music serenata korcare very nice yuo must ask for more talking with people araund there tAlbaninan are very freandly with stangers.

Actually the oldest churches in Albania are almost 2,000 years old. Albania was one of the countries where the apostles preached Christianity. While it's true everything was closed during communism some of the churches were not destroyed and are still standing today

As a Albnain Ive been to korca but only to eat dinner or just stayed at the hotel for couple days, I never had the chance to visit the entire city, but It look amazing, I have to go there

That Pazari i vjeter means the old Maket

👏👏👏

Great video with beautiful view...i like it👍

My fathers ancestral town..one day....

Actualy the curch in the Morava Mountain was built around the time period of 2016,the cathedrial was build around the 1990 and was opened in the 2000 and it is not the oldest nor the biggest church in Albania. The mosque that you visited is called Iljaz Mirahoris Mosque and it has been the center of the town for ages. You might wander why and the answer is realy simple. Before the mosque there was a Church and during the otoman empire the Bej of Korça destroyed the church and decided to build a mosque instead. Korça is called Little Paris because of a song type called Serenata (SERENADE)which are played by guitarists (popular in Spain) which are considered to be the anthem of love and passion, the second reason is because of the marble streets that presented a high level of intelectuality and social class royalty . During the years of the Albanian Kingdom Korça was the most beautiful and advanced city in all of the ballkans, equiped with a lot of love,passion,style,dignity,culture and very, trust me very rich and intelectual people.

The Paris of Albania??? No. Paris is the Korce of northern France.

Hi, I'm an Albanian vegan, sadly not living there, but I was curious to ask, how was your experience as a vegan in Albania? I moved out before I went vegan, but I'm really curious how being vegan can alter the experience of visiting a country that is very foreign to such an idea. Thanks :)

Korçe was originally Gorica (little mauntian or forest) in serbian language.

I Love Jonna Napire 💜💚❤️ JUNE 14, 2024

🇦🇱❤

👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Cathedral is not the oldest church in Albania and definitely not in Korce. We have so many other churches that are way older . Even though we were in communism not everything was destroyed completely.

Have naice travell in may cauntry

04:30 to 05:00 is a good example of flow for talking speed for your videos, I think. You start spitting out syllables so fast in some parts of your videos I feel you might be just the person who could win the world's fastest rapper or talker for Guinness Records. 😄. My little sister was like this in high school but at the end of the sentence she ALWAYS ended it with, "so, yeah". That was over thirty years ago and even you ended sentences like this. LMAO. "Please, slow down". I'd tell her. She'd laugh but ten minutes later....bipbipbipbipbipbip words like a machine gun 😄 It's good that Albanians feel free to help you cover their country correctly. It's a sign of welcoming gesture. They actually behave more western than most westerners these days...if that makes sense. They are independent thinkers, like yourself. Brave little chick you are traveling by yourself. So cute too. 👍. Be careful, okay? Ciao.

One of the oldest churches in the Balkans is not far from the center of Korçe. Up the hill from Beer Koça it will be on the left Take a taxi

💗🇽🇰🇦🇱💗

Well done for pronouncing Korçë correctly.😬

You pronounce my grandfathers hometown incorrectly. Can't expect much from a vegan I suppose.

Korça was even more beautiful but the savages of contractors and mafia that uses them as washing machine created some stupid apartments that break the look of the classic city. But there are neighbors in it that are still virgin. Lol 11:36 you were about to break your neck and you laughed.

Place as many crosses on the mountains as you want, when you look at the sky you will always see the crescent.

Its not the bigest church Go in Tirana orthodox church

Arumani albani

So , basically a frozen wasteland.
