Even when air conditioners could be counted on fingers in neighborhoods, decades ago, Albanians have successfully coped with scorching heat. Without much cost, with circumstantial and minimalist means, but that once enjoyed as much as today, we remember them with nostalgia through a list that will take you far back in time. 

1. Watermelon, but only if we eat it in this form

2. It does not matter how many air conditioners there are in the house.

Only this, can remove the heat! 

3. Ice cream, but always accompanied by boze!

Nothing refreshed the summer afternoons more than a bottle of boza when paired with ice cream.

4. This position and sleeping position.

As comfortable as the bed is, sleeping on the ground during the summer has always sounded different. Especially with a refreshing face.

5. Hats at home during the summer have never been in love 

6. The palace stairs were the coolest oasis in the world

In the afternoons they were accompanied by neighbors sitting on the stairs, a handful of cherries and a Turkish coffee. Then the veranda was the solution of another level!

7. In the heat, you will find every door on every floor open! 

You could see without any problem what the family atmosphere of the neighbors was like. There were even those who went up to the kitchen to "greet" you without knocking, despite the fact that they could find you asleep, eating or arguing with one of the members of the household.
