Turtle Farm Albania is a farm that focuses on the protection of turtles.
The experience that this farm offers is quite unique. The founders of the farm are Erjan Guxha, the tourist guide and David Hoffman (American blogger).
Turtle Farm Albania offers “agricultural education” for children and adults. The idea started during a ‘tour’ through Albania, where in every place they traveled, there were many turtles killed by cars. They collected all the turtles that were on the highways, (about 15 pieces) and accommodated them in the backyard, in Daias. After collecting the first 50 turtles, they decided to build a place for people to visit them. Now there are 116 turtles in the farm and it is one of the most beautiful attractions in the area, especially for children. It is also offered here as a possibility to “adopt” a turtle, taking care that he/she who adopts it can come to visit it at any time.
“TURTLE” Farm Albania offers restaurant and bar service with a panoramic view. The food is organic, with products grown near the farm. The farm produces red wine, white wine, raki, olive oil, etc. Typical dishes of the area are: chicken with rice, homemade meatballs, pancakes, napa cheese, fig jam, etc. The farm organizes “hiking” tours in the six villages near the farm, as well as off-road car trips.
