Why rent a car in Gjirokastër

Gjirokastër, with its huge castle, cobbled bazaar and Ottoman stone houses, is a UNESCO World Heritage town and a great base for the south. The Blue Eye spring is on the road to Saranda, and Saranda, Ksamil and Butrint are about an hour away.

Driving in and around Gjirokastër

The old town’s streets are steep and narrow: park outside the centre and walk up. The road to Saranda crosses a mountain pass with bends, so drive carefully.

Crossing into Greece

The Kakavijë border crossing towards Ioannina is south of Gjirokastër. Taking the car abroad needs our permission and a Green Card; read our cross-border guide. Return the car here, in Saranda or at another of our locations.
