Gjirokastra is absolutely beautiful and a must-see on your Albanian itinerary. Xhulio was my guide and he was a pleasure to deal with, as was Andi with booking the tour. The views on top of the fortress are insane, and the old bazaar is just magical!

I took this wonderful 1-day trip on 10/10/2023, we got to see see this hilltop Gjirokastër fortress overlooking the Gjirokastër city. There are families still live inside the castle, we had a fabulous lunch. We had so much fun at Blue Eye which is a cold water spring and natural phenomenon occurring in tye village if Munzine, southern Albania. It’s a long day trip but it is worth it. Our tour guide Joseph was friendly, I had a great time, thank you Joseph and his boss Andi. This is a must destination when you go to Albania. Katherine
