Hotels in Gjirokaster County, Albania
Gjirokaster County sits in southern Albania, famous for its UNESCO-listed Ottoman stone houses and the massive Gjirokaster Castle. Summers hit up to 90°F (32°C), perfect for hiking up to the castle and snapping photos of the Drino Valley from the top, while cool winters (around 45°F, 7°C) let you explore the cobbled streets and the Ethnographic Museum without the crowds. If you time your visit for spring or fall, the mild temps make it easy to bike through the surrounding hills and stop at the Stone City's artisan shops.
