• In Sarande, you should visit one of Albania's most beautiful cities, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2005.
• Gjirokastra is an open museum, a city that has broken every law of architecture with large fortified houses known as "small castles" or big towers". The houses represent the economic and social status of the Gjirokatra family, mainly in the Ottoman period, when Gjirokatra was an important administrative center of the empire. These three floors of the house were a competition between the landlords of that time; the bigger the house, the more powerful the owner.
• High mountains surround the city, and above the Drinos valley stands the fortress, one of the largest in the Balkans and one of the most remarkable monuments in Albania.
• The city is known for its educated and cultured people, and many of them have made national and international contributions in various political, social, and cultural fields.
• The cablestone bazaar, with its beautiful mosaic in the heart of the old town, connects the five characteristic streets full of bars, authentic restaurants, souvenir shops, and artisans of stone and wood.
• Since 1968, the national folklore festival has been held in the castle, and the city is known as the city of festivals. Gjirokastra is known for its cuisine and traditional dishes that you will only find here.
