    Gjirokastra stands as an enchanting and historically rich destination deserving of exploration. If you seek an unparalleled and genuine Albanian adventure, Gjirokastra emerges as the ideal destination to embark upon. Cheap hotels and cheap food prices

    Only had time to visit the castle. Spent several hours there. Would love to come back for the folk arts festival and visit some of the houses with the specific architecture that put this place on the UNESCO list.

    The city is pretty but unfortunately the vast majority of it...

    The city is pretty but unfortunately the vast majority of it is rundown with only the bazaar and some houses being maintained to a level fit for a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and once you go away from the bazaar especially at night it feels really lonely and sad. Gjirokaster has become very touristic in the past few years with the old bazaar being constantly crowded with youths from Western European countries who do not respect the place and openly smoke hashish and get drunk. The road to get to the old town is a traditional stone path that while beautiful is a disaster because it destroys your car's suspension, has very steep grades and if another car comes from the other direction good luck! Because of this and the lack of parking in the old town (even among hotels that advertise having parking) you become a prisoner of the old town. During the summer because of the type of stone the city is built of (also found in the mountain Gjirokaster is built on) it is very hot even during the night making the entire experience very unpleasant. Most museums/attractions are basic and the few English descriptions that can be found are very nationally charged which reminds me more of the rhetoric of the 1940s than 2023. The vast majority of Albanians, even those who work in this "tourism industry" cannot speak English at all or speak it very badly making communication difficult and moreover they are not really friendly with tourists. Gjirokaster like Albania in general is about as expensive as Greece or even Italy while effectively offering a touristic product akin to a 3rd world country. Unless corruption is rooted out, Albanians stop emigrating and the economy and democratic institutions develop I frankly do not think I will ever visit Gjirokaster again.

    When in Albania, Gjirokaster should definitely be on your list. The views from the castle are amazing and a visit to the Bazaar for those Instagram pictures is also a must. But what we enjoyed the most was the travel between Berat and Gjirokaster. Make sure to stop at Tepelene to fill your water bottles with some fresh water and try some deliciously baked fresh trout. Find a small road next to the river, drive in and get yourself wet in the pristine clear water.

    a magic city full of wonder and majesty Amazing views from the historic castile Incredible architecture - like nothing seen before Whilst the bazaar is somewhat touristy - there are lots of lovely restaurants and bars, and the odd authentic shop to keep everyone happy.

    We loved this hotel!!! Marcel and his family are so kind and welcoming. The hotel and room is stunning, decorated beautifully. We are at their restaurant for dinners and the food was some of the best we’ve had in Albania, loved this veggie platter. We had many bottles of their homemade white wine. the breakfast was one of our favorites while on our 6 week trip. We were so glad we stayed here outside of the city, it was very calm and centering. Don’t hesitate to book

    This is a great little apartment for one or a two night stay. Apartment was really clean, bed was comfortable, breakfast was all homemade and plentiful. Walking distance to see the sights of Gjirokaster and where the buses pick up and drop off. Yes you do have to walk up the big hill to the Old Town and Castle but it really is not that bad. Owners were lovely and friendly, even if they didn't speak little or no English. Highly recommend this apartment.

    Great mattress and really quiet at night so we slept well - probably all the hills in Gjirokaster help too! Albin is a friendly and funny guy to talk to. It’s great to chat with a local and find out more about life in Albania. The breakfast is awesome! The best byrek we have had - big thank you to Albin’s friend’s mom for that! Gjirokaster is a lovely place to spend a few days and this a fantastic guesthouse…..

    Everything. Gorgeous room- worth splashing out for a balcony. The hotel staff apologised that the balcony was 'small' but it was amazing and roomy enough for two persons with a magnificent view of the mountains AND Gjirokaster castle. Room itself felt like a posh Ottoman house. Breakfast was 5-star, so much food and all so good!! Staff very attentive and helpful.

    Good modern hotel with a good restaurant and a fabulous view. Everything is very close - but Gjirokaster is best seen from a distance. Many houses are abandoned or in bad repair. In winter, most things are closed. But the castle alone is worth the trip, and from there the view cannot be beaten. Friendly staff will help you with your luggage, see below.

Anyone who has mobility issues would definitely struggle to walk up and down into town - it's up a fairly steep hill.
