Explore Prizren's Old Town, Fortress and Filigree Heritage

  • Meet your tour guide at the pier, hotel, or your specified meeting place and depart towards the border of Kosovo, heading to the second-largest city of Kosovo, the birthplace of the Albanian revolution for the foundation of the modern independent Albanian state.
  • Take a coffee break at the confluence of the two Drini rivers.
  • Continue further and, after the border procedure, drive towards Prizren, a city where mixed ethnic communities live together peacefully. Here, the Ottoman architectural style blends with the modern one and makes each visitor fall in love. You can hear the knocking of horses and the cold water sounds from the fountain in the main square along the old town's cobbled streets.
  • Start walking through the cobbled streets of the old town, admiring the beauty and the atmosphere in the air.
  • You may visit Sinan Pasha Mosque, the League of Prizren, and the Fortress situated above the city, and enjoy the "Symphony of the Mosques" at prayer time.
  • Visit the Filigree workshop and speak with the artisans about their handmade work. These "silent artists" keep the tradition alive, crafting handmade filigree jewellery in different styles and tastes. There is also plenty of delicious local food to try just beside the Lumebardhi river.
  • In the late afternoon, head back to the pier or your specified place.
