Food, heritage and living traditions in Nij
In the village of Nij, Udi Ocağı brings local food together with culture and history. Before or after your meal, explore the historical and ethnographic park-museum for a glimpse of Udi family life and traditions. Make Chotari Church, also known as the Church of St Elisha, another stop on your visit to Nij. Shaded by plane trees, it remains a place of worship for the Albanian-Udi community. Check visiting arrangements beforehand, respect services and ask before taking photographs.
Plan your visit
Check visiting arrangements separately for the restaurant, park-museum and church. Opening hours and entry arrangements may differ.
