Headed to Albania and planning a day trip to Gjirokastër from Sarandë? You’re in the right place! Here’s everything you need to know about planning the perfect Gjirokastër day trip!
Picture slate-gray stone houses stacked up a steep mountainside. A massive fortress looming over the valley. Narrow cobblestone lanes winding past old Ottoman tower houses. Add a bustling Old Bazaar, a Cold War-era American plane, and rice balls you won’t find anywhere else in Albania, and you’ve got Gjirokastër. This UNESCO-listed town may be swarming with tour groups (true story), but it’s overflowing with history and character, and I’m so glad I went (yes, even while slipping my way up those cobblestones in sandals…).
When I was planning my 10 day Albania itinerary, Gjirokastër was one of those stops I figured I HAD to see. Called the “City of Stone” for its remarkably preserved 17th- to 19th-century Ottoman architecture, it looks like nowhere else in the country.
If you’ve read my Berat day trip post, think of Gjirokastër as Berat’s moodier cousin. Both are UNESCO-listed Ottoman towns (they actually share a listing!), but where Berat is white houses and a thousand windows, Gjirokastër is slate roofs, fortress-like tower houses, and a seriously steep hillside. Between the castle, the Old Bazaar, and the local food, there’s plenty to fill your day.
I visited Gjirokastër as a day trip from Sarandë – and my thoughts are a little mixed. Gjirokastër is impressive, and I’m certainly glad I went, but I didn’t love it as much as Berat (which is still my favorite, by a lot!). A day trip only gave me a small sampling of the town, and I have a feeling I would’ve liked it way more with a night there – when I’d have time for the tower houses and the tunnel, and could see it without all the tour groups. Below, I’m sharing exactly what I did, what I’d prioritize, and what I’d do differently.
So, if you’re ready to explore one of Albania’s most famous historic towns, this guide covers everything you need to plan your visit – including the best things to do in Gjirokastër, where to eat, where to stay, how to get there, and which shoes to wear (trust me on that one, haha).
Day Trip to Gjirokastër Information
Where is Gjirokastër (and What’s It Known For?)
Gjirokastër sits in southern Albania, in the Drino Valley, about an hour inland from Sarandë (roughly 55 km by road). Tirana is a solid 3.5-4 hours away by car, which is a big reason Gjirokastër feels so tucked away. If you’re using Tirana as your only base, you’re probably skipping it (please don’t do that!). The setting is dramatic, with mountains behind it and a massive castle sprawled along the hilltop like it owns the place.
The big claim to fame is the architecture. Gjirokastër’s nickname, the “City of Stone,” is not an exaggeration. The old houses are built of stone and topped with heavy stone slabs instead of tiles. A lot of them are fortress-like Ottoman tower houses (called kullë), with narrow windows and wooden balconies, designed to look imposing and keep families safe (subtle, these were not, lol). The old town was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2005 (Berat tagged along in 2008), and it has more than 500 preserved historic buildings.
Gjirokastër is also the birthplace of two very famous Albanians: the communist dictator Enver Hoxha and the novelist Ismail Kadare, whose book Chronicle in Stone is set here. Add a castle with a Cold War-era American plane just sitting up there (yes, really), a Cold War tunnel, the Old Bazaar, and the historic houses, and there’s way more going on than you’d expect from a little mountain town.
When to Visit Gjirokastër
The best time to visit Gjirokastër is in spring (April to June) or early fall (September and October), when it’s mild enough to survive all those hills and cobblestones.
I went in mid-September, and the weather wasn’t too shabby! It was a little overcast, with some clouds rolling in later in the day, and I honestly didn’t mind. After more than two and a half weeks of direct sun in Greece, I was happy to not have it beating down on us (and it didn’t feel nearly as hot).
Summer (especially July and August) is hot and dry – think highs in the low 90s °F (low 30s °C) – and all that stone soaks up the heat and really holds on to it. It’s still a lovely time to visit, but I’d plan your sightseeing for early morning or later in the afternoon, and save a long lunch for the hottest part of the day.
Winter is cold and rainy (heavy rain from late fall through spring, with snow possible in the coldest months), and some lodging and sights run shorter hours or close. If you’re visiting outside the summer months, bring layers and wear shoes with real grip, because wet cobblestones are SLIPPERY (I could barely handle them dry, haha).
Why take a day trip to Gjirokastër?
Because it’s SO easy, haha! Gjirokastër is only about an hour from Sarandë, so you can head inland in the morning, spend the day wandering the castle and old town, and be back by the sea for dinner and sunset. After a few days of beach time in Sarandë and Ksamil, it’s a nice change of pace (and a great way to squeeze in some history without switching hotels).
It also pairs perfectly with the Blue Eye spring (which is on the way), and a lot of tours from Sarandë add Lëkurësi Castle, the castle above Sarandë, so you can see a ton of southern Albania in one day without having to plan much.
Now, just being honest and real: if you’re not already in southern Albania (maybe you’re focusing on the north), I wouldn’t make a special trip down to Gjirokastër. I’d put that time toward Berat instead. But if you’re already in Sarandë, a day trip to Gjirokastër is a great way to spend a day.
Is One Day in Gjirokastër Really Enough?
Kinda! One day covers the highlights, but you’ll miss a lot.
If all you have is a day, here’s how I’d prioritize: castle first (get it “out of the way”), wander the bazaar, then eat some local food. That’s honestly the core of the visit.
What you probably won’t have time for on a day trip are the famous historic houses, the Cold War tunnel, and some of the longer walks. One of my friends stayed overnight and did way more than I did – like touring Ottoman-era tower houses and walking to the Ali Pasha Bridge. So if you wanna go deeper (or see the town without the day-trip crowds), consider staying overnight.
For me, a guided day trip to Gjirokastër from Sarandë was enough – honestly, by this point in my month+ long Europe trip, I was ridiculously tired, haha. But I do think I would’ve liked it more with a night there if I had more energy.
A Little History of Gjirokastër
Quick history lesson, because it makes the wandering way more interesting. Gjirokastër first shows up in written records in 1336 as Argyrokastron, which means “Silver Castle.” And nope, nobody’s totally sure where the name comes from (lol). One theory is that it’s from a legendary princess named Argyro, and the other is that the gray stone walls and roofs shimmer like silver when it rains (my favorite, tbh).
The castle goes back to at least the 12th century, and the Ottomans took over in the early 1400s. The city’s golden age was the 17th to 19th centuries, when wealthy landowners and merchants built those fortress-like tower houses. In 1811, a powerful Ottoman ruler named Ali Pasha took over, expanded the castle, added the iconic clock tower, and built a long aqueduct to get water up to the fortress (kind of a big deal when your castle sits on a mountain).
The 20th century got complicated. Enver Hoxha, who ruled Albania as a communist dictator for decades, was born here in 1908, and in 1961 he declared the city a “museum city,” which (ironically) helped protect its old architecture. Writer Ismail Kadare, born here in 1936, wrote about the city’s experience during World War II in Chronicle in Stone. Today, Gjirokastër is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has definitely earned its reputation!
Day Trip to Gjirokastër Logistics
Getting from Sarandë to Gjirokastër
It’s about 55 km, so roughly an hour by car or 1 hour 20 minutes by bus. Thankfully, Sarandë to Gjirokastër is one of the easiest day trips from the coast, and you’ve got a few options.
Organized day trip to Gjirokaster
This is what I did, and it’s BY FAR the easiest option (plus super good value in my opinion – under 50euro for the whole day and 4 destinations). Most tours from Sarandë and Ksamil take about 7-8 hours, include hotel pickup (which makes things so incredibly easy!), and pair Gjirokastër with the Blue Eye spring (and sometimes Lëkurësi Castle and a nearby monastery). Just check what’s included, since some cover entry tickets and some don’t.
This guided day trip hits the monastery first, then spends time at the Blue Eye (even more stunning than I had imagined it to be!), then finally heads over to Gjirokastër before watching sunset at Lëkurësi Castle. All in all, a pretty great day in southern Albania! I’m a sucker for organized day tours because they handle literally everything for you – including all transportation, information and history about each place, and a local to ask all your questions too!
Plus, most of my guides typically give out great restaurant recommendations which is especially helpful if you’ve only got one day there (you don’t wanna end up at the most touristy place which just so happens to have an hour wait).

Public Bus from Sarande to Gjirokaster
Looking for an even more budget-friendly option?! Take the bus! Buses run 3-5 times a day, take about 1.5 hours, and cost around 400-500 lek (€4-5), cash only. Departure points in Sarandë have moved around over the years, so double-check where your bus actually leaves from, and get there early to find the right minibus.
Psst – buses are first come, first served in Albania, and summer buses can and will fill up (my buses around the country were super full and I visited in shoulder season!).
Note that the Gjirokastër bus station isn’t actually in Old Town itself (where you wanna go), sooooo you’ll need to get yourself there. Since the bus station sits below the old town, it’s a 30-40 minute uphill walk (not my idea of fun) or a short taxi ride (around 300–500 lek). Check the return schedule BEFORE you go, since the last bus in high season has been reported at around 5pm, and times change.
Honestly, because of this, I’d just take an organized day trip. Between the hassle of finding the bus stop in Sarande (easier said than done when things keep changing) and the need for either a long uphill walk or money spent on a taxi, you kinda might as well just take a guided tour. At least that’s my opinion – I like to make things as easy as possible for myself logistically so I can focus on exploring and enjoying my destination.
Driving to Gjirokaster
Renting a car?! Driving to Gjirokaster is pretty straightforward, only about an hour each way. A car also makes it easy to stop at the Blue Eye (about 21-25 km from Sarandë, just 50 lek to enter) on the way. Just know that the old town has narrow, steep streets with tricky signage and busy traffic, so most people park near the center and walk up.
Taxi or private transfer
A taxi from Sarandë to Gjirokastër will cost about €50-70, and private transfers are similar (around €40-60), which makes perfect sense if you’re splitting it with friends and would rather do that instead of an organized day trip. Just remember, you need to pay this price EACH WAY, and you won’t be able to stop at the Blue Eye (or maybe you can negotiate it for an extra cost).
Coming from Elsewhere in Albania
Gjirokastër is in a great spot if you’re road tripping through southern Albania. Here’s how far it is from some popular spots:
- Sarandë: about 55 km (34 miles), around 1 hour
- Vlorë: about 105 km (65 miles), around 2 hours
- Berat: about 155 km (96 miles), around 2.5–3 hours
- Tirana: about 220–230 km (137–143 miles), around 3.5–4 hours
- Korçë: about 195 km (121 miles), on a slow, scenic mountain route
Note that driving times are of course approximate and can vary depending on traffic and road conditions. Albania might look small on a map, but the roads can be slow!
If you’re doing a Tirana-to-Gjirokastër day trip, it’s doable but long (around 7-8 hours of driving round trip), so I’d either stay the night or skip it.
Benefits of a Guided Day Tour to Gjirokastër
I know, I know – guided tours aren’t everyone’s thing (the pace can feel rushed and sometimes they honestly are). But when you’re short on time, a guided day tour to Gjirokaster is my honest recommendation. No bus timetables, no parking, no panic about getting back to Sarandë. You just show up and let someone else handle the logistics (my favorite!). Plus, a lot of tours add in the Blue Eye and sometimes Lëkurësi Castle, which is a LOT to fit into one day on your own.
The biggest perk, though? A guide for the castle. Honestly, I would’ve learned nothing (if anything) wandering around by myself. A guide brought the history to life and made the visit WAY more worthwhile. Some tours drop you closer to the castle, but mine didn’t (hence the sandal situation), so ask before booking if the uphill walk is a dealbreaker.
Not every tour follows the same route, so check the itinerary before booking. Look for one with a guide at the castle, free time in the bazaar, and time for lunch, so you’re not sprinting between stops. This tour came HIGHLY recommended by my friends (I didn’t love the one I booked unfortunately).
Things to Do in Gjirokastër in One Day
Gjirokastër is compact but STEEP, so plan your route accordingly (your calves will thank you). If all you’ve got is a day in Gjirokastër, here’s the priority list:
1. Start at Gjirokastër Castle (and get a guide!)
Go first and get it “out of the way” (the sweaty part is better before lunch). It’s one of the biggest medieval fortresses in the Balkans, perched way above town, and the views over the valley from the top are GREAT. Most of what you see today is thanks to Ali Pasha, who expanded the fortress in 1812 and added the clock tower.
Inside, you’ll find captured artillery, the clock tower, those views, and the Museum of Armaments and the Museum of Gjirokastër (I skipped both mostly due to time but I’m not a huge museum person anyways).
And then there’s the American military plane, just parked up there like it’s no big deal. It’s a Lockheed T-33 that landed in Tirana in 1957, and the communist government insisted it was a spy plane and hauled it up here as a Cold War trophy, which is kinda iconic.
Get a guide. Without one, it’s mostly stone walls and ramparts, and I would’ve learned nothing. Entry is around 400 lek, and the castle is generally open daily from around 9am (closed on Mondays).
The real lesson from this castle, though? Shoes (!!!). The walk up was long, sweaty, and uphill on insanely slippery cobblestones, and I wore sandals (a HUGE mistake). I could barely walk, so don’t be me and make sure to wear sneakers, or at the very least comfy sandals with a back. Whoops!
2. Wander through the Old Bazaar
The Old Bazaar (Pazari i Vjetër) is the heart of the old town, with characteristic stone houses, artisan shops, and local cafés. It’s a cute area and super fun to photograph, especially the iconic building right in the center (you can’t miss it – don’t worry!).
But I’ll be honest: most of it felt like the same overpriced touristy junk and trinkets (womp, womp) and not very original. Go for the pictures, not the shopping, haha. Also, most of the buildings you see today were rebuilt after a fire in the late 1800s, so they’re not actually as old as they look.
3. Indulge in some local Gjirokastër food
And now my favorite part – the food! The local specialty is qifqi, a rice ball with egg, mint, and pepper that you won’t find anywhere else in Albania, so obviously I had the rice balls for lunch. And then came the fig dessert. We were SO excited about it that our waiter gave it to us on the house! So kind! Most of the traditional restaurants are around the Old Bazaar, so it’s an easy place to slow down and have a proper meal.
Look for my recommendations below!
4. Cold War Tunnel
This is a massive underground bunker (800 meters long, with 59 rooms) built in secret in the 1970s to protect the local communist leadership in case of an attack. The attack never came, but the bunker did. I didn’t have time for it on my day trip, although I kinda wish I’d prioritized it (I did visit BunkArt 2 in Tirana, so I’m calling that a similar experience… kinda).
The guided tour only takes about 20 minutes and costs around 200 lek (cash), and tickets are sold at the office near Çerçiz Topulli Square.
5. Historic houses of Skënduli House and Zekate House
Gjirokastër is famous for its Ottoman-era mansions, like Skënduli House and Zekate House, which show how the elite families lived. Honestly, there’s just not enough time to fit them in on a day trip. If you want to see them, that’s another reason to stay overnight.
Bonus: the Blue Eye. Since my tour stopped here first, I have to mention it. I know a lot of people call it a tourist trap, but I was MESMERIZED. The spring (Syri i Kaltër) is a deep, almost unreal blue, and the water is a very chilly 10°C year-round. It’s about 21-25 km from Sarandë, entry is only 50 lek, and you only need about an hour or so there. Just FYI – you cannot swim in the main area, but there’s a spot nearby you can (a few minutes walk).
If you’re staying overnight: One of my friends walked to the Ali Pasha Bridge, which is the remains of an aqueduct Ali Pasha built to bring water to the castle. It’s about a 30-minute walk from the center, and it sounds like a great way to escape the crowds.
Sample Itinerary for One Day in Gjirokastër
If you’re doing a guided day trip like I did, it’ll probably look something like this (timings are approximate):
- Morning: Hotel pickup in Sarandë, then drive to the Blue Eye (about 35–45 minutes).
- Mid-morning: Spend an hour or so at the Blue Eye, then continue on to Gjirokastër.
- Late morning: Visit Gjirokastër Castle with a guide (go here first!).
- Lunch: Head down to the Old Bazaar for a long Albanian lunch (try the qifqi!).
- Afternoon: Wander through the bazaar and the old town streets.
- Late afternoon: Head back to Sarandë.
If you’re doing it independently by bus, I’d take an early bus, head straight up to the castle, then walk down to the bazaar for lunch. Leave plenty of time for the return bus, and confirm the last departure before you go (don’t wanna get stuck!).
Tips for Visiting Gjirokastër in One Day
Only have one day in Gjirokastër? No worries! You can see a lot, but here’s a few things to keep in mind:
- TAKE A GUIDED TOUR! I know I sound like a broken record, but this truly is the best and easiest way to see Gjirokaster in one day. Zero transportation problems and a guide at the castle is so important!
- Wear sneakers (or at least comfy sandals with a back). I wore sandals and it was a HUGE mistake. The cobblestones are steep and insanely slippery, and I had the hardest time walking. Learn from me.
- Get a guide for the castle. Without one, you’re mostly wandering around stone walls, and you won’t learn much. Choose a guided day trip tour (like this one!) that includes a guided walk through the castle (not all do!).
- Prioritize the castle, the bazaar, and the food. Hit the castle first to get it out of the way, then wander the bazaar and eat.
- Don’t expect a hidden gem. Gjirokastër is so easy to reach from Sarandë that there are SO MANY TOURISTS (and yes, I realize I’m one of them, haha). Big buses were dropping off huge tour groups, and it was swarming with people all day. Berat, by comparison, felt way more peaceful and quiet once I started exploring the little alleyways.
- Start early. Going yourself sans tour? Definitely go early! More time, fewer crowds, and way less sweating on those uphill streets.
- Bring water and sun protection. There’s barely any shade on the castle and steep streets, so pack sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and water. All of it.
- Carry cash. The bus, the Cold War tunnel, and a lot of small shops and sights are cash only. Even some restaurants prefer cash, although more and more are accepting cards these days.
- Check opening hours and days. Hours change by season, and some museums close on Mondays.
Where to Eat in Gjirokastër
Most of the best restaurants are in and around the Old Bazaar, and a long, leisurely lunch is honestly one of the best parts of the day. If you’ve only got one day in Gjirokastër like I did, you won’t wanna spend ALL your time eating, but I didn’t feel like I had to rush at all.
Look for qifqi (Gjirokastër’s signature dish of crispy fried rice balls), byrek, stuffed peppers, imam bajaldi (stuffed eggplant), and baklava. I had the rice balls, and the fig dessert (oshaf) was a total highlight (the waiter gave it to us on the house!). Most restaurants do home-cooked food (and even homemade wine!) so it’s hard to find a bad meal here.
- Taverna Tradicionale Kardhashi: A family-run spot near the top of the town known for traditional Albanian food with fantastic family hospitality and live traditional music. And they even give you a complimentary clove welcome drink and homemade dessert. Definitely try the roasted lamb, moussaka, and stuffed eggplant!
- Te Kelaja Restaurant: Located right near the Gjirokastër Castle and Old Bazaar with an open-air layout, offering classic moussaka, stuffed peppers, and complimentary house desserts or grappa (!!!).
- Komiteti Bar: Traditional byrek and such an extensive raki selection in such a unique vintage setting with cozy outdoor seating! The ceiling even has a cool art installation! A great place for mid-day drinks.
- Restorant Tradicional Urat: Warm hospitality with great slow roasted lamb!
Where to Stay in Gjirokastër
I didn’t stay overnight since I was visiting on a day trip, but if you do, I’d stay in the Old Town, either around the bazaar or in the Palorto area higher up. If you can swing it and have time in your Albania itinerary, I’d definitely stay overnight. Especially since accommodation is so budget-friendly (most hotels are under $100 per night, with quite a few under $50!).
The streets are steep, narrow, and not made for cars (sensing a theme?), so many places can’t be reached by car. Check ahead about parking and how to get to your hotel, since some hotels will even pick you up and drive you up – talk about service! Many of the old stone houses have been converted into guesthouses, and they can sell out in summer, so definitely book ahead.
My friend stayed overnight in Gjirokastër and really enjoyed it! She said it was obviously nice to explore without all the day-trippers, and she got to see and do a bunch of things I had zero time for (like the Ali Pasha Bridge and a few ottoman houses).
Personally, I’d avoid staying in the New Town, since it lacks that historic Ottoman character (the main appeal of the whole area!), and it’s a15 to 20 minute steep walk uphill if you wanna reach the old town.
Here’s a few highly rated guesthouses and hotels that honestly look pretty amazing:
- Hotel Old Bazaar 1790: An outstanding restored 18th-century Ottoman house with tremendous character, yet enough modern amenities! Plus, everything in the historic center is within a short walking distance.
- Resort Kerculla: Now THIS is where I’d stay if I was visiting Gjirokastër overnight! Just look at that insane infinity pool overlooking the whole town! Swoon! Note that it’s technically located in the hillside so a tad further from Old Town and the bazaar, but I think the setting (and pool) are worth it!
- Alchemist Inn: Cozy attic rooms that have been tastefully renovated, all in a peaceful location for exploring Gjirokaster. OMG the homemade breakfast (made with farm fresh ingredients) looks DELICIOUS. Reason enough to stay there, haha. Just note it’s on a steep hill.
- Guest House Argjiro Castle: Incredibly cozy rooms with breathtaking views of the castle and surrounding nature from the terrace. Super charming. And again, definitely try the homemade organic breakfast!
- The Stone Sky Hotel: A family run hotel with gorgeous views, fantastic service, and breakfast on a charming terrace (with views of course!). There’s a reason it’s got so many raving reviews!
- Alsara Guesthouse: Stunning views from the rooftop terrace (for breakfast and sunset drinks!), and the hosts even help you park your car if needed (since the street is kinda steep). A perfect location right in town, just steps away from the bazaar!
And after doing all this research on hotels (so many great spots with so much character!), I’m kicking myself that I didn’t stay at least one night just for the experience!
My Sarandë to Gjirokastër Day Trip Experience
As noted about a million times in this post already (haha, whoops!), I did a guided day trip from Sarandë because I didn’t want to stress about bus times and logistics on vacation (lol, I had enough going on). Our first stop was the Blue Eye, and I was completely mesmerized by it! I know so many people call it a tourist trap – honestly, that vivid blue water is SO pretty in person, and I’m really glad it was part of the day.
From there, we headed to Gjirokastër and started at the castle with a guide (which I’m so glad we had, because honestly, I wouldn’t have understood or learned much, if anything, wandering around aimlessly on my own).
But okay, let’s talk about the walk up – it was a long, sweaty climb on insanely slippery cobblestones, and of course I was wearing sandals (a HUGE mistake, lol). I was basically ice skating my way up the hill! The views from the top were great though – totally worth it. I even got to see the American military plane they have parked up there (so random, haha). I skipped the Museum of Armaments and the Museum of Gjirokastër.
After the castle, we wandered through the Old Bazaar, and honestly? I wasn’t that impressed (womp, womp). Most of it felt like the same touristy trinkets over and over – overpriced and not very original. It’s still fun to take pictures of all those stone buildings and cobblestone lanes, so I’m glad I walked through. I just wouldn’t go there expecting great shopping. Lunch, on the other hand, was a highlight! I tried the local rice balls, and we got so excited about the fig dessert that our waiter gave it to us on the house (free dessert?!). So kind!
The weather ended up being pretty nice, too. It was a little overcast, with some clouds rolling in later in the day, but I honestly didn’t mind – after more than two and a half weeks of direct sun in Greece, a day without the sun beating down on us was kind of a relief.
What stood out to me most, though, was how many people there were. Gjirokastër is only about an hour from Sarandë – think swarms of tourists and big buses dropping off massive tour groups all day (yes, I know I’m one of them, haha). It felt SO different from Berat, where I truly felt a sense of peace and quiet wandering around Gorica – I barely ran into anyone. The whole town felt like it was being preserved and shown off solely for tourism. Gjirokastër definitely isn’t a hidden gem anymore.
I also didn’t have time for the Cold War Tunnel – I kinda wish I’d prioritized it (I did visit BunkArt 2 in Tirana, so I feel like I got a similar experience… kinda). I skipped the historic houses, too. One of my friends stayed overnight and got to do way more than I did (like visit the Ottoman-era tower houses and walk to the Ali Pasha Bridge). She said it was really nice to explore without all the day-trippers – I’m still a little jealous, haha!
Honestly, I think I would’ve liked Gjirokastër more if I’d stayed overnight. A day trip only gave me a small sampling of the area – I have a feeling the things I missed (the tunnel, the old mansions, the bridge walk, and seeing the town without the tour buses) might’ve changed my impression of it.
Would I recommend a day trip to Gjirokastër from Sarandë? Yes, if you’re already in southern Albania – it covers the highlights, and I’m glad I went. But if you can swing it, I’d stay overnight so you get more than just a small sampling of the town. And just being honest and real: if you’re not already down south (maybe you’re focusing on the north), I wouldn’t make a special trip. I’d put that time towards Berat instead.
Hope this helps you plan out the best Gjirokaster day trip possible! Are you visiting Albania soon?!
