Worth agreeing on before you meet
Respect Religious Harmony
Albania is one of the most religiously tolerant countries in Europe, where mosques, churches, and Bektashi shrines coexist peacefully. Dress modestly when visiting any place of worship and ask before photographing interiors.
Protect the UNESCO Site
Gjirokaster's stone architecture is irreplaceable. Do not climb on ruins, touch frescoes, or remove stones. Stay on marked paths at archaeological sites. The preservation of this city depends on every visitor treating it respectfully.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Gjirokaster travel guide.
