If you’re after day-trip inspiration, we’ve got a couple of ideas. Located 20 miles away, Gjirokaster is worth hopping in the car for. See the sights beginning with Gjirokastra Castle, Zekate House and Gjirokaster Mosque. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Berat, 40 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Berat Castle. (But we’d also recommend Onufri Museum and Cobo Winery.)
