Some couple hundred meters of stone path up to the castle. Entrance to the castle in late SEP 2016 was completely free and unsupervised.
However the interior was nearly all dark (although it was a sunny daytime) and it was difficult to see your steps. Nice views from the vast upper level.
I hope the goverment would protect also this piece of history better as the visits have caused already some damage. The castle is nice and rather beautiful but nothing too special for a person who has visited earlier somewhat bigger and more impressive european Castles / fortresses. If you are close by I recommend to visit - otherwise, from longer distances, no need to bother.

Nice to visit, but the roads up are quite steep and windy. A 4X4 would be best for nervous drivers. The views are great and it is interesting to wander around.

Few steps from the centre and monument of independence a nice mosque from second half of the 16th century. It is one of hthe few who survived the communist era, when Albania was officially declared to be an atheist state and a lot of churches of all religions were destroyed. It consists of a prayer hall and a minaret IUt is attributed to Sinan, an architect of Albanian origin who was important mosque builder in turkish Ottoman Empire. Nice place to visit. .

This is an interesting museum particularly because some of the rooms are exactly as they were when the ministers who claimed Independence in November1912 used the building as their headquarters.

Try stepping back to a time when museums were not all eye candy. This museum lays out its 300 objects depicting the peoples' lives on the floor or on a bench. Everything is helter-skelter. But you can make out a strange looking tobacco cutter, an eel fork, or a carved wooden wool bobbin. You'll ogle at the full sheepskin winter cloak hanging on one wall. To keep the sword arm or shepherd's crook arm free Albanian mountain men wore this heavy cloak slung over the left shoulder. Upstairs you'll see an array of gorgeous 100-150 year old heavily embroidered folk costume pieces. These objects are displayed in the Patriot's Club, a house used for meetings leading to Albania's independence from the Ottoman Turks (1912). It is the real Albania.

L'Acquamarina mi ha strabiliato, non pensavo di trovarmi in un centro benessere a questi livelli ad essere sincero, ne esistono anche in Italia ( e qui si vede la mano italiana), ma così completa e fatta così bene ce ne sono si ma non tante. Qui non ci si deve andare quando piove e non sai cosa fare,qui ti devi dare il tempo per andarci un volta e poi ci ritornerai, ti completerà la tua vacanza e ti lascerà un ricordo di qualcosa di esclusivo di questa Albania. Noi (LivingAlbania) ci mandiamo spesso i nostri clienti che a volte adirrittura preferiscono soggiornare nelle immediate vicinanze negli appartamenti vicini, proprio per usufruire la massimo della SPA.
