Gjirokastër Old Town Walk

Gjirokastër, Albania

About this hike

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Gjirokastër offers a powerful cultural immersion. This walking route takes hikers up through the cobbled Mangalem Quarter to the hilltop fortress, with vistas across the Drino Valley and echoes of Albania’s layered past—from Enver Hoxha to ancient Illyrian roots.
