About Gjirokastër
Gjirokastër is one of Albania's most remarkable cities, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the "Stone City" for its distinctive Ottoman-era houses built into the mountainside with characteristic stone roofs. The city features an imposing hilltop castle, beautifully preserved bazaar, and exceptional examples of Ottoman urban architecture. Gjirokastër represents one of the Balkans' finest examples of Ottoman-era city preservation.
The massive Gjirokastër Castle dominates the city from the hilltop, featuring a military museum, artillery displays, and spectacular panoramic views. The old bazaar area showcases traditional crafts, while the skënduli houses (stone-roof mansions) include museums such as the Ethnographic Museum in dictator Enver Hoxha's birthplace and the Zekate House. The stone-paved streets, covered bazaar, and Ottoman architecture create an atmospheric journey through centuries of Albanian-Ottoman history.
The journey from Tirana Airport takes approximately 196 minutes (over 3 hours) south through diverse Albanian landscapes including mountain passes. The scenic route showcases Albania's geographical variety. Gjirokastër's mountain position provides cooler summer temperatures and stunning views. The city serves as base for exploring southern Albania including nearby Blue Eye spring, ancient Antigonea ruins, and the coastal region. Gjirokastër combines exceptional architectural heritage with authentic Albanian mountain town atmosphere.
