Gjirokastra Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its distinct Ottoman-era architecture. Perched on a hillside, it provides stunning panoramic views, making it ideal for photo enthusiasts. The town's signature grey stone buildings with elaborate wooden balconies are particularly photogenic. Key spots include the Gjirokastra Castle, which offers breathtaking vistas and houses the National Museum of Armaments. The Old Bazaar is perfect for capturing vibrant local life and traditional crafts. Photographers should seek out the historic tower houses, like Skenduli and Zekate, for authentic interior shots. Visit in early morning or late afternoon for the best lighting and fewer crowds.
