Fabulous historical towns

Tour program

We will discover a fantastic landscape on a full-day tour.

Departing from the accommodation in the morning, we will drive along the Bistrica River for a while, heading to the foot of the Bureto Mountain.
We will arrive in the Drino River Valley, a settlement whose origins can be traced back to the 7th century BC.
The town is known for its picturesque beauty, traditional architecture and historical significance, and has a rich cultural heritage.

In the middle of the landscape surrounded by olive groves, there are the remains of the strategically located fortress of Ali Pasha Tepelena's sister, as well as an Albanian kulla, where members of the endangered family fled from blood feuds.

In the center of the town, it is nice to rest in the shade of the legendary plane tree, whose age is around 560 years It has a trunk circumference of 7 meters and a canopy covering 1100 square meters.
Lord Byron and the famous travel chronicler Evlia Celebiu also enjoyed its shade and Albanian hospitality!
Currently, a restaurant and café stand here, with small waterfalls and streams dividing the terrace, providing a cool breeze in the hot summer heat.

We continue the day in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Gjirokaster, known for its unique combination of architectural styles and historical significance.
Gjirokastër is the birthplace of prominent historical figures such as Albanian writer Ismail Kadare and former communist leader Enver Hoxha.
You will have the opportunity to take a leisurely stroll through the narrow cobblestone streets, filled with old shops selling traditional handicrafts. But you can visit the castle, from where you can enjoy a wonderful view of the surrounding mountains and the city.
Because of its traditional stone houses with characteristic slate roofs, it is often referred to as the “city of stone”, so you should take into account that it is extremely hot in summer!
