Gjirokastra and Blue Eye Tour from Saranda

The timeless town of Gjirokastra, nestled in the Albanian hills, cascades gracefully from its fortress origins dating back to the 13th century. This stone-clad sentinel still presides over the urban sprawl and the serpentine valley beneath, with the town's silver-grey rooftops and stony facades merging subtly into the natural tapestry of the mountain. A contrast emerges through the striking whiteness of the walls, lending a distinct vibrancy to the cityscape. Celebrated by Ismail Kadare, one of its most renowned inhabitants, in his literary work Chronicle in Stone, Gjirokastra is depicted as an awe-inspiring city scaling the slope as if emerging from deep antiquity to anchor itself along the mountainside. This city's rich historical tapestry was recognized by UNESCO, which designated Gjirokastra as a World Heritage Site in July 2005. Its status as a 'museum-city' bestowed by Albanian authorities not only honors its treasured architectural legacy but also safeguards it, ensuring the preservation of its historic quarter from modern intrusions. Please note that our engaging tours are designed for a minimum of two travelers. Solo adventurers are welcome to join, though an additional charge will apply to ensure a deeply personalized experience.
