About this activity
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Gjirokaster Castle, Gjirokaster Albania
Gjirokastër Castle; Castle (fortification); Medieval, Ottoman; creation date: medieval castle likely reconstructed by Bayezid II, 1492/987 AH, creation date: reconstructed and adapted to modern war techniques during the reign of Ali Pasha of Tepelene, 1812-1821, restoration date: early 21st century.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Gjirokastra Bazaar, Old town, Gjirokaster Albania
In the shadow of the mid-18th-century Bazaar Mosque, the Gjirokastër Bazaar is known for handmade wood pieces, handwoven rugs and artisanal crafts such as delicate lace items. Nearby cafés selling pastries offer a nice break from negotiating the steep ups and downs of the stone streets.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Skenduli House, Rruga Sokaku i Te Mareve, Gjirokaster Albania
Restored Ottoman-era Skenduli House has been in the hands of the same family for generations (apart from a few years during the communist period when the government took it over), and you'll most likely be shown around by a member of the family. Dating from the early 1700s, but partially rebuilt in 1827, the house has many fascinating features, including a room used only for wedding ceremonies and which has 15 windows, many with stained glass.
