Gjirokastra Entdeckungsreise leads you through Gjirokastër, where stone architecture shapes a UNESCO World Heritage setting. Kalaja e Gjirokastrës rises above the city.

Inside, a clock tower and museums open onto stories of Ali Pasha and historic expansions. The fortress carries the city’s long historical memory. Cobblestone streets and medieval façades lead through the Old Bazaar, where artisan shops keep traditional craft close at hand.

The Former Prison adds stories of resilience to the walk through Gjirokastra. Traditional houses show how local stone defines the city’s distinctive appearance. From the historic streets, the route reaches views across the Drino Valley, with history, culture and craft gathered in one setting.
