Overview

A daily trip to Kruja, Albania, can be a rewarding experience, offering a blend of history, culture, and beautiful landscapes. Kruja is a historic town located approximately 20 kilometers north of Tirana, Albania, known for its rich cultural heritage and significance in Albanian history. Nestled in the foothills of Mount Kruja, the town boasts stunning natural landscapes and a strategic location that has been important since ancient times. Kruja is famously known as the stronghold of Skanderbeg, Albania's national hero, who led the resistance against the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century. The day culminates in a unique felt hat workshop, where you’ll immerse yourself in a centuries-old tradition and create your own Albanian qeleshe under the guidance of skilled local artisans.
