✨ Kruja: The Perfect Last Stop Before Your Flight Home 🏰

We visited Kruja as our final destination before flying out of Albania, and I highly recommend it for this purpose. Its location, only about a 30-minute drive from the airport, makes it an ideal and stress-free last taste of the country's history and beauty.

While we didn't go inside the castle itself, we walked to its base, and it looks like a very well-preserved fortress from the outside. To be honest, after visiting other places in Albania, Kruja might not have the same immediate 'wow' factor as cities like Berat or Gjirokastër. However, it is absolutely worth a visit for its unique charm: its dramatic setting on a mountainside offers great views, and it features a beautifully restored castle and a fantastic bazaar, which in our opinion is rivaled only by the one in Gjirokastër.

The main event for us was the bazaar. It's a vibrant place, and while you'll find plenty of typical souvenirs, if you look carefully among the more common items, you can discover some genuinely interesting and authentic crafts. From many spots around the bustling market streets, you can also capture some lovely photos of the castle and the surrounding landscape.

For lunch, we chose a restaurant named Panorama. While the food was decent but not spectacular, the experience was elevated by the beautiful views of the castle from our table and the friendly service we received.

This visit was the final attraction of our 2025 trip to Albania. For anyone interested in our full itinerary, I'll be describing it soon in a review for Skanderbeg...

When you're looking from the castle to the bazaar street, you can easily see that this is a development of newly make buildings between the historical castle and the nearby four star hotel. It appears that there is nothing historical in the bazaar and the sellers are all selling the same souvenirs like at in Paris, Rome, Athens or anywhere else. There is nothing Albanian to buy except for two shops selling some flea market items. As practically all shops are selling the same things a single souvenir shop in the hotel lobby would have been enough. For me it looks like the whole street was just made to have a reason to bring bus loads of tourists to a hotel in a city which normally wouldn't be worth a visit. If you want to see ancient Albania, go to Berat or gjirocaster. If you want a fake souvenir street I suggest Disneyland...

Arnavutluk'un tarihî kenti Kruja, sadece tarihi ve kültürel zenginlikleriyle değil aynı zamanda geleneksel bir çarşı atmosferi sunan mekanlarıyla da öne çıkar. İşte Kruja Çarşısı hakkında bir Türkçe gezi yazısı:

Kruja Çarşısı, Arnavutluk'un geleneksel el sanatları, hediyelik eşyalar ve yöresel ürünlerini bulabileceğiniz nefis bir alışveriş destinasyonudur. Burada dolaşmak, tarihi kokular arasında geçmişe bir yolculuk yapmak gibidir.

Çarşı, geleneksel el dokuması kilimler, seramik ürünler, bakır işlemeleri ve el yapımı takılar gibi Arnavut el sanatlarının güzel örneklerini sunar. Her ürün, yerel zanaatkârların titiz emeği ve Arnavut kültürünün izlerini taşır.

Kruja Çarşısı'nda geleneksel Osmanlı ve Arnavut mutfağından lezzetli ürünleri bulmak da mümkündür. Yöresel peynir çeşitleri, zeytinyağı, baharatlar ve diğer gıda ürünleri, bölgenin zengin mutfak kültürünü yansıtır.

Çarşı, antika severler için de bir cennettir. Burada tarihi eşyalar, eski mücevherler ve antika objeler satan dükkanlar bulunabilir. Her bir parça, geçmişin izlerini taşır ve benzersiz bir hikayeye sahiptir.

Kruja Çarşısı, renkli tezgâhları, canlı pazar günleri ve samimi atmosferiyle yerel bir pazarın ruhunu yansıtır. Burada alışveriş yaparken yerel halkla etkileşime geçmek, bölgenin sıcakkanlı atmosferini yakından hissetmek demektir.

Kruja Çarşısı, sadece alışveriş yapmak için değil aynı zamanda Arnavut kültürünü ve tarihini hissetmek için de harika bir yerdir. Burada yapılan her alışveriş, ziyaretçilere bölgenin zengin geçmişini ve kültürünü taşıyan benzersiz bir...

Krujë Bazaar is a typical tourist spot with the usual selection of souvenirs, including traditional textiles, trinkets, and handmade goods. While much of it felt standard, there were definitely some standout items that caught our eye—especially the locally produced olive oil, rich and flavourful honey, and some beautifully hand-carved wooden trays that showcased real craftsmanship. It’s worth a visit for the experience, and if you take your time, you can find a few genuine gems among the more touristy offerings.

Super cool bazaar, and coming from Turkey I can confidently say that I know a thing or two about bazaars. However, prizes were often quite high, and especially the ones in Euros sometimes seemed absurd. I wish only Lek was used for pricing, as I am sure any tourist in Albania that has been here for more than a few hours would already have a ton of cash laying around with them. Saying stuff like “just one or two Euros” does not mean much when all you have are leks to pay with.

I talked to several shop owners. They say nowadays its hard to sell the antique things. I was really fascinated by all the furniture, kitchen equipement and selfmade clothes. One showed me photos from Kruje in the past. Please share your history and stories with the people, maybe that could be a new chance of earning some Money and keep your heritage alive. Thank You for sharing:)
