A Swiss friend admitted that it was just as stunning as the mountains in Switzerland, which is a big admission. Great for trekking and seeing amazing views across the mointain peaks of the 'Cursed Mountains' as they are called in Albanian (Bjeshkët e Nemuna). Very friendly locals and great prices.

At the entrance to the site off the main road is a barrier and a small guard hut. You could park off road here and walk 0.6km. Or ask the guards to let you drive to the large parking lot but they'll only do this by retaking a personal document like passport or driving licence. We drove in. The site itself is quite large with attractive gardens and some walls of ruined buildings and the church, well three churches combined as a single building . It isn't too impressive from the outside ,unlike say Sopocani, but inside it is absolutely amazing. The narthex, with its large pillars with centuries old frescoes covering every surface, the pillars, walls, ceiling is absolutely stunning. This area is an entrance hall through which you have access to the differently styled, as they were built at different times, three churches. One, the original Church of the Holy Apostles, to which the others were later added ,with its heavy brickwork and darker interior and brilliant ceilings. And the others, similarly stunning but in different ways all add up to a completely amazing collection.
