The austere and beautiful town of Gjirokastra began to spread downhill from its castle in the 13th century. The castle still stands on its hill, overlooking the whole city and the river valley below. From that lofty point, the grey stone of the houses below and the grey slates of their roofs blend into the hillside, distinguished from it only by their whitewashed walls. As one of the city's most famous sons Ismail Kadare, wrote in Chronicle in Stone, Gjirokastra is "a surprising city, which seemed as if it had come out of the valley unexpectedly, like a prehistoric being, and clambered up with difficulty, stitching itself on the side of the mountain". Gjirokastra became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2005. It had been awarded the status of a 'museum-city' by the Albanian government, which gave legal protection to its architectural heritage and kept new building out of the historic center. *Minimum number of travelers per booking is 2. For solo travelers there is an extra charge.

posti molto interessanti. A Gijrokastra, guida brava con l'italiano e appassionata nel raccontarci la storia del proprio paese, i propri valori di cittadino albanese e nel trasferirci usi e costumi del posto. Autista con buona guida, ci ha scortato anche al blu eye, fonte molto fredda ma incantevole.

Very good professionals. We were recommended to change the dates for the arrival of a cruise and it was a wise decision. The guides were very friendly and gave us accurate, practical and accurate information.

Putroppo non c'era la guida italiana, non è stato fornito lo snack e purtroppo la Skenduli House è chiusa, ma è andata bene comunque
