Gjirokastra, the Magnificent and Rare Stone City
Welcome to the city of mysteries… Gjirokastra, the Magnificent and Rare Stone City. Ready to move you to another reality, which you cannot find anywhere else. Gjirokastra welcomes you! With cobbled streets, unique dwellings, combining oriental and western style, with the castle of the legend of Argjiro, traditional cuisine and of course, the hospitality and generosity of the locals.
One of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, this magnificent city has been built over the centuries on steep slopes, with stone houses that seem to be built on top of each other. The spirit of Gjirokastra is best reflected in the novels of her most famous son, the world-famous writer Ismail Kadare. As you walk through the cobbled streets you cannot miss the Gjirokastra Castle, which overlooks the stone city. No visit to Gjirokastra would be complete without trying the rich culinary tradition, with fresh dairy products and the well-known cheese of this area.
