Berat & Gjirokastër is one of those places where the obvious plan and the good plan are two different trips.

We mapped a 3-day Berat & Gjirokastër route ourselves, built for a long weekend, not a rushed one, built to avoid the same UNESCO old-town photo from day one.

It's the kind of trip your group chat asks about for years, not the one that looks like everyone else's. It's free. The only cost is planning your Berat & Gjirokastër trip without it.
