Our inaugural stop is the illustrious Kruja Castle, an architectural gem steeped in centuries of history. This formidable fortress served as a bastion of resistance against invading forces, notably during the heroic exploits of Skanderbeg, Albania's national hero.

Emerging from the castle's embrace, we'll venture further into Kruja's enchanting tapestry of culture and tradition. The Old Bazaar of Kruja beckons, a vibrant marketplace brimming with a kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, and aromas. Here, amidst the labyrinthine alleyways and bustling stalls, you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the ambiance of an ancient Ottoman-style bazaar. Whether perusing local crafts, sampling traditional delicacies, or engaging in spirited haggling with local vendors, the bazaar promises a delightful journey through Albania's cultural heritage. With hearts and minds enriched by our exploration of Kruja, we'll bid farewell to its storied streets and set our sights on Tirana, Albania's dynamic capital city. Upon arrival, we'll embark on a guided walking tour, led by our expert guide who will unveil the hidden gems and iconic landmarks that define this vibrant metropolis. From the historic charm of Skanderbeg Square to the modern marvels of Blloku, each step will reveal layers of Tirana's eclectic identity, blending past and present in a captivating fusion. As the day draws to a close, we'll retrace our steps back to our designated starting point, cherishing the memories forged amidst the splendor of Kruja and Tirana. With heartfelt farewells exchanged and memories to cherish, we'll part ways, each of us enriched by the experiences shared and the bonds forged during our unforgettable journey through Albania's cultural treasures.
