what to do in Kruja
Things To Do
Kruja Castle
Walk the walls of the fortress where the first flag of freedom was raised on 28 November 1443, and climb the Clock Tower that once kept the time of the whole town.
The Old Bazaar
Four and a half centuries old and built in Byzantine style, the bazaar still rings with the work of artisans: textiles, fine metalwork, ceramics and the iconic qeleshe.
A Feast for the Senses
Taste flija, tave kosi and baklava, alongside the emblems of Kruja itself: olive oil from centuries-old trees, hashure and the sultans' favourite, kabuni.
