Stop At: Gjirokastra Bazaar, Old town, Gjirokaster Albania
Our adventure commences in Tirana, where we embark on a journey that will transport us to the enchanting city of Gjirokastra, often referred to as "The Stone City" or "The City of a Thousand Steps."
Our first stop upon arriving in Gjirokastra will be the bustling Gjirokastra Bazaar, a vibrant marketplace where local crafts, textiles, and traditional Albanian products beckon visitors.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Gjirokaster Castle, Gjirokaster Albania
After exploring the bazaar, we'll ascend the winding road leading to the magnificent Gjirokastra Castle, a true architectural marvel. Within its walls, we'll discover an array of guns, weaponry, fortifications, the castle's museum and the castle's notorious old prison.

Stop At: The Blue Eye, Gjirokaster 9701 Albania
A mere 30 kilometers from Gjirokaster, a hidden gem awaits us within the heart of the forest. Here, pristine, crystal-clear water emerges from deep within the earth, gushing out from a remarkable 30-meter-deep hole at its center, forming a mesmerizing spectacle akin to a "blue eye."
