Skënduli House
History museum
😐 That would actually take 3.5 stars.
Entry price is 300lek/3euro. I guess the man who guided us is the current owner of the house, informed us about the use of some rooms. In the upper two floors there is the main hall with paintings, a few bedrooms decorated old-style and another room, where women g...

Ali Pasha Bridge
Tourist attraction
👍👍 A very beautiful bridge indeed. Worth the work. I would advise sturdy shoes. It can be difficult to see the path to walk on the bridge so keep a eye out. Take the path that goes down and then about 150m down there is a pathway up, otherwise you walk down under the bridge.
