Gjirokastra: the city and its property market
Gjirokastra is a UNESCO-listed stone town on the slopes of the Drino valley in the south, dominated by its castle and known for its fortified tower houses with stone roofs. It is the birthplace of the writer Ismail Kadare and home to Eqrem Çabej University.
The old town around the bazaar is protected, so restoring the traditional houses has to follow the heritage rules and can take longer than an ordinary renovation; many restored houses are used as guesthouses. Everyday housing — apartments and newer family houses — is mostly in the lower town in the valley. Tourism is seasonal, with more visitors in spring and summer, while the rest of the market relies on local residents and students. The Kakavijë border crossing with Greece is nearby.
Straight-line distance from the centre to Tirana International Airport (Rinas): about 153 km.
