- Tirana - In the morning, the tour guide will collect participants from Tirana to commence the journey to Mount Sari Salltik.
- Sari Salltik - Relish the guide’s insights and enjoy a scenic drive along a panoramic mountain road to visit this sacred site, which is of great importance in the Bektashi faith. Situated at 1,176 meters above sea level, the cave shrine offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The guide will provide explanations both on the bus and at the site.
- Kruja Bazaar - After visiting Sari Salltik, the tour continues to the historic city of Kruja, where the guided walking tour begins at the Old Bazaar—one of the oldest and largest in Albania, filled with traditional souvenirs and handicrafts. The guide will offer explanations during the walk, with free time for shopping available later.
- Kruja Castle - Next, enter Kruja Castle, exploring its ancient walls and learning about its history. From the outside, the guide will introduce the Skanderbeg Museum, dedicated to Albania’s national hero, as well as the Ethnographic Museum, the Turkish Bath, the Skanderbeg Olive, and the castle’s secret entrance.
-
Kruja City Center - Free Time / Lunch: After immersing in the culture and history, enjoy free time to explore the Old Bazaar, take photos, visit the museums, or have lunch at your leisure. In the afternoon, return to Tirana.
IMPORTANT: During the off-season from November to April, the museums (excluding the castle) may be closed on Mondays.
Note: During the visit to the Sari Salltik cave, it is possible (though uncommon) to witness local religious rituals involving animal sacrifice. If this is a concern, please inform the tour guide in advance.

Great trip - Great experience, wonderful trip. Lovely guid, Bledi was very knowledgeable and friendly. The only downside weather wasn't too good, so we couldn't enjoy the wonderful views, but that can't be helped.
