#Gjirokaster

Two UNESCO towns and one free day. An honest comparison of Berat and Gjirokaster on setting, castle, food and driving time, and when to skip both.

A UNESCO listed Ottoman town of slate roofed tower houses climbing a mountainside, with a castle on top and a bazaar street through the middle.

A loop from Tirana down the coast over a mountain pass, along the Riviera to the Greek border, inland to a stone city and back through the hills.
