I was there only for a day and the time was not enough to explore all the beauty of such an antique place. I got to visit Argjiro Castle. Only the history that the castle carries along is magnificent to learn about, which represents so much of the city values and tradition. I had the best time ever. To transportation was so easy to find every wherever needed at any place.

Take your walking shoes as this is the only way to discover...
Take your walking shoes as this is the only way to discover the town.
The castle museum which is an extra 200lek (1.5) was totally worth it, it's beautifully done with just the right amount of writing and not too many exhibits. Great surroundings and views.
I was off season so not too many cars but I can imagine how it can get very awkward to share the streets with our fellow drivers. There is a plan to cut off some streets in the future and restoration plans are well underway. There is even a local bus for those allergic to taxis, it goes right up to the castle from what I've seen many times a day. Taxi to and from the furgón drop off at the bottom of the hill is 500lek (4€). You could probably walk down if so inclined.
Skenduli House was very interesting and the visit was guided by one of the daughters of the family. Enthographic Museum was handy if you want to just get some pictures and already know what you're looking at.
The drive from Tirana to Gjirokaster took about 4h and I paid 1000lek about 8€. And after leaving Fier it just gets more and more impressive. For solo public transport takers like me to get to the main bus "station" in Tirana you don't have to get a taxi (I got totally ripped off I feel paying 900lek, although he used a meter, for the trip from my bnb to the bus) just take a local bus from the center saying either Tirana e Ré (New Tirana) or Kamez. Or better Google the Eagle Roundabout and show the picture to the driver since this is where the buses for all southern destinations depart. Bus ticket 40 lek. From Gjirokaster I went south to Saranda. Furgón or shared taxis are 300lek. Road is a mountain road so be aware that some locals get rather carsick...

I love Gjirokastra, one of my favorite cities in Albania.
I love Gjirokastra, one of my favorite cities in Albania. interesting history, good local food (try the cheese with honey and sesame & qifqi!!) and mainly it's just a fun place to wander around since it's so beautiful. If you want to see only the touristic attractions than one day is a enough but if you have time, stick a around a but longer.

I am Albanian, yet I did not know that Albania had this much old charm packed in one small and very old town. Gjirokastra, the city of stone, is beautiful. I wish we had had more time to stay there. To walk up and down the steep hillside streets of the old town or to wander around the castle. It's not just the meandering man made stone streets and houses that are a sight to admire, its surrounding landscape of steep hillsides, mountains and valley below it are something I could have admired for days.

There is plenty to do in this old town. Kastro is a must but wish we had stayed longer to have more time to see other attractions. We had a wonderful young lady guide us around the castle! This stay was a highlight of our vacation.

Castle is a lot of fun - looking at the views and clambering around the ruins is actually more interesting than the museums. Definitely visit the houses open for visitors but just wandering around the streets is interesting.
“Simply great! Super breakfast, extremely clean, amazing hosts, small library with superb books, the house is just beautiful, the owners do free walking tours that are so so worth it and, to top it all off, they have the smallest kitten I’ve ever seen, Pickle is his name (so much cuteness!). I’ll be recommending Albania, Gjirokaster, and this hostel to everyone. My best wishes to all of you and I hope Pickle grows into a strong lion!”
“The hotel was in the perfect location, the room was clean and comfortable, the little balcony overlooking the street was a treat and the staff were friendly, helpful and engaging. It was a great stay and I can't wait to return!”
“We were overwhelmed by the kindness and hospitality of the owners and their family. Absolutely delighted with our stay. Thank you for making our stay in Gjirokastera so memorable.
”
“Its an historical building, beautifully restored, with all the amenities you would expect from a modern day hotel. Great location and wonderful staff. Brilliant!”
“This was my second time at Hotel Kaemi. It is in a great location and the design of the hotel and its rooms remain true to the Ottoman heritage of Gjirokaster.”
“Excellent central location in the historic city centre, with easy parking. Attractive modern room and facilities, with well organised breakfast buffet on the top floor.”
“The staff made a great effort to help me with every thing I needed, even lending me their phones to contact a friend. I would definitely return to this hotel if I return to this lovely city.”
“Wonderful hotel with super-friendly staff, tastefully decorated in Ottoman style, located a few steps from the castele right in the center of the Bazar area. Quiet, clean, good WiFi.”
“Incredible people! Mali at the upstairs bar was great with my family, the owner (manager?) an older gentleman was the most kind and courteous person I have met in ages bringing my kids juice the moment we walked in.”
“Stone City Hostel offers a central location and just a short walk to the marketplace, the Castle, many restaurants and cafes. The owner of the hostel is super-friendly and helpful.”
“Facility is brand new, very comfortable room with all amenities including bathrobe, very friendly staff, great service and best coffee in town. Breakfast is excellent”
“I absolutely loved everything about this hotel! Not only was the location and views amazing, the service and staff went above and beyond our expectations, the restaurant for dinner was exceptional and the breakfast was...”
“Free grapes. Full free grapes everywhere :) And U know - thing that people can do with grapes ;) Very good owner. Very, very cheap (too cheap?). Very good breakfast. Very clean. The best night in Albania for sure.”
