Beneath #Gjirokastër lies a Cold War relic — tunnels from the 1960s under Enver Hoxha’s regime. With 80+ rooms, offices, and bunkers, it now offers a haunting glimpse into Albania’s isolation and fear. #ColdWar #CommunistEra #TravelAlbania #Gjirokaster #History #Adventure #ExploreAlbania #travel

Hidden in the hills above #Gjirokastër #Albania the Ali Pasha Bridge rewards those who hike the panoramic trail. Built in the 1800s by Ali Pasha of Tepelena, this stone aqueduct once supplied his castle—its arches stand in tribute to Ottoman ingenuity. #Gjirokaster #Hiking #History #travel

In #Gjirokaster in #Albania a few days ago was listening to older woman describing how ppl had had alternative names for things to avoid risk from constant surveillance. To an extent that has been true in Turkey too. Hate to think this spreading to US/UK too but the writing sure is on wall.
Last night in #Gjirokaster in #Albania was trying out qifqi rice balls in a restaurant when in came a Turk. Of course we ended up sitting at same table & chewing fat about Turkey & Albania. Both agreed that in some ways A had the feel of T in the 1990s - great friendliness of ppl, for example. Much
I did! Whole different ball game although it helped that season was over before I got to the places within day-trip destination of Greece - #Butrint, #Berat and #Gjirokaster. All three magnificent if very different sites - Butrint ruins, Berat traditional Ottoman houses, Gjirokaster stone galore.
This week: A road trip to Gjirokaster in the south of Albania! #albania #gjirokaster #travel #digitalnomad #travelvlog #silentvlog
