Let’s journey through the unexplored areas of Gjirokaster, a charming locale that often goes unnoticed by visitors. Our excursion begins at ‘Cerciz Topulli Square’, taking us towards ‘The Old Bazaar’. This neighbourhood, standing right outside the castle and nestled beneath its grand walls, is steeped in history. The unique cobblestone streets, an Orthodox church, and some of the oldest residential structures heighten its appeal. After crossing the Nanxa stream (where a new road is under construction), we find ourselves in the ‘Cfaka’ district. It boasts several first category historical buildings, a renovated mosque, and leads us to the final region, ‘Dunavat’, home to a tekke belonging to the Bektashi Order. The route concludes with the picturesque ‘Ali Pasha Bridge’, a surviving relic of an aqueduct built over two centuries ago to supply water to the castle. The journey, combining natural beauty with architectural marvels, lasts around three hours, and requires navigating uneven terrain. So, wear your walking shoes and accompany us on this captivating step back into history.
