Camping Cajupi
We journey to the mountain of Cajupi, where our next adventure awaits at a traditional shepherd's hut. Here, you'll have the rare opportunity to spend the day with a local shepherd and his family, immersing yourself in their daily activities. From milking sheep to preparing milk, yogurt, and feta cheese, you'll learn firsthand about the time-honored practices of Albanian farming.
Throughout the day, engage with the shepherd and his family, exchanging stories, laughter, and perhaps even a traditional song or two. Gain insights into their way of life, deep-rooted traditions, and enduring connection to the land.

Gjirokaster Castle
Originally built in the 12th century, by the Despots of Epirus, an off-shoot of the Byzantine government, who established the basic towered structure of the castle. Later on, while the area was under Ottoman rule, the site was extensively renovated and built upon, bringing the site to a sort of regality that it hadn’t enjoyed since its creation centuries prior. In the 1800’s, a clock tower and aqueduct were also added. In the 1930’s the fantastically named Zog, King of the Albanians converted the fortress into a prison, adding a number of cells and fortifications to hold members of the various resistance forces acting in the country during his reign.
