Traditional Bazaar - on the way to the castle, a medieval - type bazaar with traditional
handicrafts such as filigree, alabaster, silver, copper, wooden made objects, wool carpets, etc. Its
main pecularities are that all the shops are made of wood.

Europe.

Albania.The community is at the centre of the Theth National Park, an area of outstanding
natural beauty. It is the perfect place for those who want to enjoy the nature and take a break
from the hustle and bustle of cities. Also visiting Theth in the early 20th century, the traveller
Edith Durham said: I think no place where human beings live has given me such an impression
of majestic isolation from all the world.
Day 5-6 Lura
Lura’s marvelous lakes make it the perfect place to visit in every season. Among the many lakes
the one that stand out are the Big Lake, the Lake of Pines, the Black Lake and the Lake of
Flowers. In winter these lakes freeze. If you want to see how the real beauty looks like, I
guarantee you that you are in the right place.

by fields nestled before picturesque mountains, will be your panorama throughout your holidays
in Pogradec. The harmony of nature, and the friendliness of the inhabitants, will bring you back
again and again. The sunny days at the beaches along the lake, the strolls along the promenade,
as well as the various specialty dishes and local wine enjoyed in the restaurants will provide
unforgettable moments for you.

developing center for cultural heritage tourism. Gjirokastra also has a charming bazaar area with small
shops facing cobbled streets. The castle, entered from either the valley or the town side, now houses
the National Arms museum, though the best things about it are the fantastic views across the valley, and
the desintegrating US Airforce jet plonked on top of the castle.

but before that you have a few hours in guide to explore our capital Tirana.
