Przyjazd do Gjirokaster
Gjirokaster is the “stone city” — every cobble has a story. But the cobblestones with 20%+ gradients demand constant attention. Overheated brakes are a real risk here.
Steep cobblestones
The bazaar and surrounding lanes hit 20–25% gradients. A manual gearbox gives better control; automatics can overheat the brakes if used aggressively in low gear.
Castle parking
Paid parking at the castle entrance (~€1.50). Don’t try to drive up into the upper old town — the lanes pinch sharply.
Close to the Greek border
Gjirokaster is 35 km from Kakavija (Greek border). A quick crossing into Ioannina is doable — the green-card insurance is required.
Inne podróże z Valbona
Do Theth
Theth is the jewel of the Albanian Alps — the black church, Grunas waterfall, traditional stone houses. Getting there demands planning: the SH22 is paved as far as Boga, then the real challenge starts.
Do Shkodra
Shkodra is Albania’s northernmost major city and the best base for exploring the Alps (Theth, Valbona). The city itself is flat — bicycles dominate — making it relaxed driving for tourists.
Do Kukes Airport (KFZ)
Kukes Airport (KFZ) is Albania’s newest air gateway, opened in 2021. The local operator fleet is smaller than in Tirana — book early to guarantee a vehicle on arrival.
Do Kruja
Kruja is the city of Skanderbeg — a castle 600 m above the sea and an Ottoman bazaar with authentic crafts. It works perfectly as a day trip from Tirana.
Do Tirana Airport (TIA / Rinas)
Tirana International Airport “Mother Teresa” (TIA) is the country’s main air gateway. Picking up here saves time — 25 minutes puts you in central Tirana or on the highway to Durrës.
Do Tirana
Tirana is Albania’s arrival hub: 800,000 residents, busy traffic, and a road network that’s being rebuilt fast. Pick a small car for the city and an SUV only if you’re heading into the mountains.
