The pretty city of Dhermi and off to Kruje

The city of Dhermi is small, but so pretty and definitely high on the list of recommended things to do. Afterwards we went to Kruje, a village famous for its castle. Turned out we accidently booked a room in it! :-)

Exploring a little town called Dhermi

It's a must see when you're in Albania, just because of how beautiful the town is. It's small, so you don't need a lot of time exploring it. We went for breakfast here aswell. We went to this local little house (see picture; it was called Bar Sofia), where all of the elderly local people where having there coffee and chatting away. There was no menu, the man just understood 'breakfast' and he made us something :-)

Vlöre

We made a quick stop here to buy myself a new book since I read all of my books already :-) Unfortunately no bookstores in Vlöre, so we went to a Pasticeri (dessert :-) ) and bought us some sweets.

Turned out we booked a room INSIDE the castle

Next up was Kruje, where the GPS kept directing us further into the castle. We thought we were wrong, but turned out we booked a room inside the castle (price was the same as elsewhere)! Our B&B (Rooms & Restaurant Emiliano) served a delicious dinner and we could eat it at a table on top of the castle wall (sunset picture was our view at the table!). They served a big platter full of local specialties (10/10).
