Gjirokastër
The stone city: a castle, a bazaar, and slate roofs catching the southern light.
Gjirokastër is built of stone and memory. The castle commands the Drino valley. The bazaar still sells copper and textiles. Ottoman houses climb the hillside in grey-blue roofs that look different in every hour of the day.
Why visit
A UNESCO town with a fortress museum, ethnographic house and a strong sense of southern identity.
Best time to visit
May to October.
