What to expect

A professional tour guide will meet you at your hotel lobby and drive down south to the city of Gjirokaster, located at Drinos valley and surrounded by the Wide mountain, and Zagoria national park.

Upon arrival, you'll begin your city tour by going inside the museum and stronghold of Argjiro, which served as a prison during the communist era. The Ethnographic, a representation of the magnificent indigenous architecture and the birthplace of communist leader Enver Hoxha, will be your next stop.

The walk through the old town will include a visit to Bazar Mosque, Gjirokaster Obelisk, and the Bazar area. Learn about the local people of Gjirokaster, and how they have been recognized since medieval times as great handcrafters of stones, wood carving, and handmade work carpets by women.

You'll have free time to explore the city at your own pace and try some delicious local dishes, such as Qifqi (handmade rice balls), Ali pasha soup (cream soup with meatballs), Oshaf (traditional desert with dry figs).

In the afternoon you'll drive back to your hotel, taking with you great memories, photos, and souvenirs.
