Gjirokastra

Highlight • Settlement

Girokastra is a city that was declared a World Heritage Site for preserving beautiful traditional Balkan architecture with great Ottoman influence. Settled on the side of a hill, Girokastra has several kules, large Turkish-style mansions, as well as a beautiful network of narrow streets in the old town and a citadel at the top of the city.

Old Bazaar of Gjirokastër

Highlight • Historical Site

It's best to drive up from the north side, where the road is best and less steep. Then you can really enjoy the old bazaar with its souvenir shops, cafés, and restaurants.

Gjirokastër Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

The city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A visit is definitely worthwhile, because here you can still experience the really old Albania.
The old houses of wealthy merchants are particularly impressive.
