I love a good view! This one, from the Clock Tower

I love a good view! This one, from the Clock Tower of Tirana, offers great views over Skanderbeg Square.

From the top, you can see that Tirana is different than what people may assume. It's green and lively with a mountain backdrop, modern and historic at the same time.

The Church of St. Michael, Berat. This tiny Orthod

The Church of St. Michael, Berat. This tiny Orthodox church sits on the cliffside between old town and Berat Castle. Though it isn't the most majestic church, it dates back to the Byantine era of the 14th Century and has great views.

The walk up may be difficult for some, but it's easier and shorter than it appears from street level. To my surprise, only a few other people were up there the whole time we were looking around.

📍 Berat, Albania - The City of a Thousand Windo

📍 Berat, Albania - The City of a Thousand Windows

Another historic city in Albania, Berat's history goes back thousands of years. Today, it is most famous for its historic center, specifically the ruined castle and the architecture of its buildings. The stone buildings that climb up the hillside have a distinctive look with tile roofs, stone/white facades and, of course, a lot of big windows. More Berat coming soon!

More scenes from the City of Stone - Gjirokaster, Albania 🇦🇱

Gjriokaster has a long and interesting history. Luckily, many of the structures in the old town have survived, and many have been restored. One of the most enjoyable small cities to wander, it's easy to see why the museum town has a UNESCO designation. Gjirokaster does not disappoint.
