Between Stones and Stories

Join me on a guided walk through one of the most enchanting UNESCO World Heritage cities in the Balkans. Known as “The City of Stone,” Gjirokastër invites you to wander its steep cobbled streets, admire centuries-old architecture, and hear the stories carved into its grey rooftops. Our journey begins at the heart of the Old Bazaar, where trade once connected merchants from all over the region. We’ll visit traditional Ottoman houses, learn about their unique stone craftsmanship, and step inside the majestic Gjirokastër Castle, offering breathtaking panoramic views. Along the way, I’ll share tales of kings, poets, and revolutionaries who shaped the city’s past — including the story of the Liria school and the monument of education. This tour is a blend of history, culture, and storytelling, designed to make you feel the living spirit of Gjirokastër. Whether you’re a history lover, a photography enthusiast, or simply a curious traveler, this walk will leave you with a deep connection to Albania’s “Silver City.”
