Gjirokastra, Albania, is a hillside town of stone houses and a large castle in the south, and these articles cover it on its own and within wider trips. Its old quarter, listed by UNESCO, keeps the Ottoman tower houses, steep lanes and bazaar that make it one of the most distinctive towns in the Balkans. Our guides include a portrait of the stone city and a look at Gjirokaster's charm and history. Others include it in a five-day route from north to south, describe village life and food in the region, and explain why some travellers book through a local agency.
