From Durrës Golem: Kruja Castle and Old Bazaar Tour
Description
Your journey starting to Kruja, a town steeped in history and culture. Ascend to the majestic Kruja Castle, perched atop a hill, where centuries-old walls whisper tales of Albania's storied past. Wander through the stone corridors and ancient chambers, imagining the lives of warriors and rulers who once walked these same paths.

A fantastic tour to Kruja Castle as well as the basar. Our guide Eni was super clever and thoughtful and skilled in English and his story about Kruja Castle as well as the history of Albania was formidable. The bazaar itself was atmospheric and the trip through the bazaar was very cozy. (although the shops were very similar) Even if you are not interested in history, the trip was worth it where you experienced an atmosphere in the bazaar and with a magnificent view at Kruja Castle. Our guide Enig helped make the trip unforgettable.
Myself and my two young children (6&8) had a wonderful tour visiting Kruje Castle. Afrim was our favourite guide we've had this week. He was full of knowledge. He was especially kind and welcoming to my children and kept them fully engaged in the tour. Thank you Afrim. You made our trip special. We wish you were our guide for the full week!!
