Important Information

This tour is rated as easy, but good health is recommended. The walks in Kruja, Berat and Gjirokastra castles, are manageable but require some effort, especially in the hot summer months. Additionally, some days require drives of 2-4 hours in a row, which may be physically demanding for the driver.
