- Gjirokaster is a city located in the south of country. With its beautiful and unique stone houses, views of Drino valley and a stunning castle, it is the best place to see and experience the culture of Albania through the ages.
If you are heading to Gjirokaster from Ksamil or Sarande or heading there after Gjirokaster, do not forget to explore the beautiful Blue Eye or Syri i kalter on the way. The entire route is very beautiful and scenic.
Gjirokaster old city is a UNESCO World Heritage site with its stone houses which belonged to the old aristocratic families, its cobbled streets, small squares and its silver castle. The castle has this nickname because the stones turn grey which it rains.
Gjirokaster is also host to the birth house of Enver Hohxa, the communist dictator of Albania.
A great spot to see the entire city is the Gjirokaster Obelisk which provide great vies of the old city, new city as well as the fort. If you want a panorama of the entire valley head to the Korcula Resort located atop the stunning mountains on one side of the city.
Gjirokaster is also an exciting place for food exploration and offers a chance to get to know the traditional foods that belonged to this region.

My favourite part of this video has to be the drone shots that captured the city beautifully!
Wonderful to see your drone shots.Beautiful view.This place is super amazing.Thankyou for sharing the beauty of ALBANIA.Greetings from PAKISTAN 🇵🇰
So Happy that you came out with a video on Gjirokaster. The castle is huge being the biggest Castle in Albania. The people were so friendly in that city (and the rest of Albania). The Bazaar is nice and peaceful in the day and so fun and lively at night. We went to the same restaurant. All of the vegetarian options there were delicious. Great job!
Thanks for visiting my hometown we appreciate you promoting it.
Pleasure is all mine, it is one of my fav cities
Have family there, I love it! 🔥 & Jesus loves you 🔥
Thanks for this video (and for being so handsome). I am planning to visit and possibly live in Albania as a retired Expat senior citizen from the USA I found your video because I am researching the country Now I must watch more of your videos because you are cute, articulate, and produce good videos
You’re very kind. I just say I’m a little jealous Albania is one of my favourite countries and I’d love to spend more time there.

What month did you go to Gjirokaster in? It looks so luscious and green, with lovely flowers too! I'm heading there in June so hopefully it will still be lovely!
I was there in May which was perfect weather wise, June is warmer but I don’t think it will be much different just a few less flowers 😊

@@brownboytravels If you dont mind can I ask what drone are you flying out?
I use DJI Mavic Air 2S atm, this footage is with Mavic Air 😊

Hey Brownboy...Awsome videos and coverage for some of the hidden gems on earth. Can you guide about Halal Food and which service you used for car hiring? also would you suggest traveling by Bus from Tirana to Ksamil and Gijrokaster
@@brownboytravels Thanks for the reponse. Any lead to search and look for that service? was it good and reliable?
@@brownboytravels Albanians aren't 60% muslim, Islam came to our country because of ottoman empire
Hi, is the nightly exit lock still active in Albania? We want to arrive next week. Thank you. Love your Travel Vlogs so much by the way.
At the moment is no restrictions at all at least till midnight that I know for sure.
Exit lock? A Covid restriction? None here in the UK perhaps thats why we are full of foreign tourists
Thanks for sharing…did you hire a driver for the day? How is the driving there, would you suggest having our own car and making the drive from Tirana, Beret and Gjirokaster self paced?
I would recommend doing it yourself, it is easy and driving around inland is beautiful in Albania
I’ll surely plan the same trip when I’m there!! 😃😃 should I hire a guide for the castle?
No need for guide just go for a walk and enjoy the view
@@brownboytravels I’m in Gjirokastër! It’s so lovely!
❤️🇦🇱🇦🇱❤️
Pretty close to the beaches?! No way man
@@brownboytravels Done!!! But distances are relative, particularly here in Albania.
@@brownboytravels you you're goddamn right 👍
@@brownboytravels True. You end up straight to Borshi beach through the new road. It is almost finishing...
Is the food halal?
I’m not sure tbh but it shouldn’t be a problem in Albania
@@brownboytravels It's really hard to find Halal food in Albania dude, especially outside of Tirana. Most people don't even know what halal is.
I’m a little surprised but honestly it’s not something I know much about
Too much face time man. Ye can talk while showing us landscape.
@@brownboytravels didn't say u look bad. I'm sayn the visuals of the targeted place interest more than yer face. After a cpl minutes we got a good idea of yer face already. It's the place that we don't know. The photography is good.
