Famed as “The Stone City”, Gjirokastra is a treasured part of the UNESCO World Heritage. The old town, recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is celebrated for its well-conserved Ottoman style architecture. The entire city can be observed from its castle, and the old homes with their exquisite wooden facades are aesthetically perched on hillside slopes. The city holds a rich history – it’s the birthplace of both, Nobel-prize winning author Ismail Kadare, and the contentious communist leader, Enver Hoxha. Gjirokastra deftly preserves key moments in history, casting an interesting and debatable aura over itself. This short tour promises to unearth some of the city’s charm through visits to the medieval Old Bazaar and the city’s standout attraction, Argjiro Castle.
