Location & Nearby Attractions Located on Rruga Selam Musai, our guest house sits on a hill providing stunning views of the surrounding mountains, the city and the majestic Gjirokastër Castle. Despite the tranquil setting, we are just steps away from the city's vibrant life: • Gjirokastër Castle: Just a short walk from our doorstep, explore this stunning example of Ottoman architecture that offers sweeping views of the Drino Valley. (around 15 minutes walk from our guesthouse) • Old Bazaar: Immerse yourself in the bustling atmosphere of Gjirokastër's historic bazaar. A mere 5-minute walk from our guest house, the bazaar is perfect for those looking to explore local crafts, antiques, and sample traditional Albanian foods. • Ethnographic Museum: Located in the former house of Albanian dictator Enver Hoxha, this museum is a 5-minute walk away and provides insights into local life and traditions. • Zekate House: A beautiful example of 18th-century Ottoman architecture, this well-preserved house is less than 10 minutes away by foot. • Skenduli House: Another must-visit historical home, showcasing traditional Gjirokastër architecture, only an 8-minute walk from our guest house. Travel Tips • Location & Access: While our address is navigable via Google Maps, please note that it currently directs only pedestrian routes. We recommend contacting us 30 minutes prior to your arrival so we can assist you with directions and parking (in a nearby public area just above the house) ensuring a smooth start to your stay. • Airport Access: The nearest airport is Ioannina Airport, 84 km from the guest house.
