Tirana-Gjirokaster
Gjirokaster offers a glimpse into ancient times, with its enchanting citadel and old market. Known as the city of stone, it features narrow limestone streets that are a sight to behold. The surrounding countryside boasts beautiful landscapes, including two archeological parks: Antigonea, founded by Pyrros of Epirus, and Adrianople, built in the 2nd century AD by order of Emperor Hadrian of the Roman Empire. During your visit, you'll have the opportunity to explore the castle, old market, church of the cross in Labove, and more.
Permet, a charming city in southern Albania, is a must-see destination. Locals often say that it has everything except the sea. With its stunning natural beauty and cultural landmarks, it's easy to see why. During your stay, you can discover the old village of Bual, Frasher, and the Benje thermal waters. For the adventurous traveler, there's horse trekking and rafting in the Vjosa river, while those seeking a more tranquil experience can visit the tekke of Ali Postivan or the national park of Fir of Hotova.
