Tour a piedi "The Old Bazaar, Cfake, Dunavat, Ali Pasha Bridge"
Descrizione
Esploreremo la parte sconosciuta di Gjirokaster, la magia della città che ogni turista salta. Partiamo da “Piazza Cerciz Topulli” e ci dirigiamo verso il “Vecchio Bazar”. È il primo quartiere fuori dal castello e si estende sotto le sue mura. Il caratteristico acciottolato, la chiesa ortodossa e alcune delle case più antiche sono gli elementi più belli. Dopo aver superato il torrente di Nanxa (dove stanno costruendo una nuova strada), raggiungiamo il quartiere di “Cfaka”. Qui passeremo davanti ad alcune case della prima categoria di monumenti, una moschea ricostruita e poi raggiungeremo l'ultimo quartiere "Dunavat" dove troveremo un tekke dell'Ordine Bektashi. È una bella combinazione di natura e vecchie case prima di arrivare al "Ponte Ali Pasha", un residuo dell'acquedotto costruito più di 200 anni fa per portare l'acqua al castello. Ci vogliono circa 3 ore e dovresti essere preparato a camminare su un terreno non così comodo. Quindi indossa le tue scarpe da ginnastica e unisciti a noi in questo viaggio indietro nel tempo.

Partiamo dal centro della città vecchia, la "Piazza Cerciz Topulli" e ci dirigiamo verso il "vecchio bazar" che non è più un bazar. Questo è il primo quartiere fuori dalle mura del castello e si trova sotto le mura del castello. Il caratteristico ciottolo e alcune delle case più antiche sono gli elementi più belli di questo quartiere. Dopo aver superato il ponte "Zerzebili", raggiungiamo un altro antico quartiere in città chiamato "Cfaka". Qui passeremo alcune vecchie case che sono la prima categoria di monumento e anche un tekke che appartiene all'Ordine Bektashi. È una bella combinazione di natura, molte pecore in cima alle colline e vecchie case per arrivare nella nostra ultima destinazione, il "Ponte Ali Pasha". Questo ponte è un residuo dell'acquedotto che Ali Pashe Tepelena costruì più di 200 anni fa per portare l'acqua al castello. L'intero viaggio dura circa 3 ore e dovresti essere pronto a camminare su un terreno non molto confortevole.

In our 6 months of travel, this tour with Marco and Mario was our favorite. It felt like walking around town with a couple of knowledgable friends – as opposed to your typical, dry tour. We learned about the history of Gjirokaster, as well as what it's like to live there today. The bridge is cool, and Marco even spent a bit of extra time with us to show us some other sites. Highly recommended!
What made this tour so awesome was our guide, Arli. He was so knowledgeable and willing to share as we walked through the streets of Gjirokastra. In particular, we wanted to see the Ali Pasha Bridge. He was quick to explain that the terrain was difficult getting to the actual bridge so he took us through neighborhoods that led to a spectacular view of the bridge. He carefully explained the historical significance of all of the neighborhoods and the “bridge”. If you get the right tour guide, these tours are excellent!! We certainly did!!
Thank you for your fantastic feedback! It's wonderful to hear that Arli made your tour of Gjirokastra so enjoyable and informative. Navigating through neighborhoods for that spectacular view of the Ali Pasha Bridge sounds like a memorable experience. We take pride in having knowledgeable guides like Arli who bring history to life. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for more excellent tours in the future! 🌆📚
We made the hike to Ali Pasha Bridge as a solo traveling, elderly couple and loved it. Just the way out of the city to the gorge, which is crossed by the bridge higher up, was nice. You walked along stairs, narrower walkways and past national-style houses. Nobody has to be afraid to get off track. At the side of the road there are many people who sit in front of their houses and who are really happy when one of the passers-by asks them for directions. Simply name the bridge; the answer is gestural. Arriving at the edge of the gorge, this great ensemble of gorge, bridge, mountains and sky already reveals to the hiker the way up to the arch of the bridge. Of course, this part of the passage runs along a narrow ‘off-road path’. But: Don't be afraid! Elderly people were also travelling here and managed to get across the bridge to the other side of the gorge without any problems. Of course not without taking pictures of yourself on the road.
Vielen Dank für Ihre positive Bewertung der Wanderung zur Ali-Pasha-Brücke! Es freut uns zu hören, dass Sie als älteres Pärchen diese Erfahrung genossen haben. Es scheint, als ob der Weg zur Brücke bereits mit seiner malerischen Umgebung und den einheimischen Häusern ein angenehmes Erlebnis bietet. Es ist beruhigend zu wissen, dass man sich keine Sorgen machen muss, vom Weg abzukommen, da es am Wegesrand hilfsbereite Einheimische gibt, die gerne bei der Wegfindung helfen. Die landschaftliche Schönheit der Schlucht, der Brücke, der Berge und des Himmels scheint den Wanderern bereits vor der Ankunft auf dem Spannbogen der Brücke einen Vorgeschmack auf das zu geben, was sie erwartet. Es ist ermutigend zu hören, dass auch ältere Menschen den schmalen Off-Road-Pfad problemlos bewältigen konnten und erfolgreich auf die andere Seite der Schlucht gelangten. Das Festhalten der Erinnerungen durch Fotos ist eine wunderbare Idee, um diese unvergesslichen Momente festzuhalten. Wir hoffen, dass Sie während der Wanderung zur Ali-Pasha-Brücke viele schöne Eindrücke gesammelt haben und dass Sie weiterhin solche bereichernden Abenteuer erleben. Vielen Dank nochmals für Ihre Bewertung und wir würden uns freuen, Sie in Zukunft erneut bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen!
Arli took us on a remarkable walking tour of the Hidden Gems of Gjirokaster. He was very knowledgeable about the history and culture and answered all our inquiries. He was funny, charismatic, and spoke exceptional English. Typically walking tours are a lot of stop and go. This tour involved a lot of walking and talking, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. The tour was just under 3 hours and did not include the 250LEK entrance fee to the Zekate House, which is worth the price of admission. I highly encourage everyone to attend this tour to gain a greater appreciation of the local customs, history and culture.
Me and my friend did the walking tour with Aril and it was brilliant , he was very kind and knowledgeable about the history of Jirokastra and Albania. The bridge was beautiful and we had enough time to enjoy the incredible place. Aril took really nice pictures of us and he was very accomodating when it came to arranging the itinerary and tour time. He made us feel at ease throughout the entire tour and was very chatty in general. He gave us lots of suggestions about other places in Albania to visit also. It was an amazing experience and Aril have a bright future ahead of him ! He is excellent
I did this walking tour with guide Arli and I recommend it very highly. I learnt so much not only about Gjirokaster and its history but also about Albania generally and its cultural and political life. Arli’s English is excellent and I would never have found the Ali Pasha bridge on my own (in fact I had already tried and failed). A highly enjoyable experience!
Viki is an excellent guide, knowledgeable, courteous, and tailored the tour according to interests (she is from Gjirokaster). The architecture, history, and scenery are stunning. I can't wait to visit Gjirokaster again!
