Erion Krasniqi

Tirana, Albania·Writing here since 2024-11

Erion was born in Tirana and grew up between the capital, Berat and his grandmother's kitchen in Përmet. He writes about Albanian cities the way a local shows a friend around — which bakery is worth queueing at, which castle has the shortcut, which restaurant's tavë kosi is the real thing. Before joining myAlbania.online he wrote for Kosovo 2.0 and Balkan Insight.
