The Ali Pasha Bridge is located near the beautiful town of Gjirokastra in Albania. You can easily hike there within 30 minutes and you can be pretty sure not to meet any other tourists.
The bridge was part of a larger aqueduct complex commissiones in the early 19th century by Ali Pasha of Tepelenë. Tje aqueducts fed the castle's cisterns with water from the Mount Sopot. Gjirokastra didn't have water at this time and Alia Pasha discerned the need of this structure.
The aqueduct was mostly destroyed in 1932, but this section remains.

"Great view from the hotel and great rooms. Clean and spacious. A bit tough to go up since the hotel is on top of a hill but you expect that in Sarande. "

Apartment, 2 Bedrooms, Balcony | Private kitchen | Fridge, oven, stovetop, coffee/tea maker

"The property and service offered by the owner was excellent and personalised. By far, the cleanest apartment we have ever stayed at. It was also self-contained, which meant we had the utensils to cook, clean and do our laundry. And all of this was just a relatively short walk away from the foreshore. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Grazie! "

Comfort Apartment, 2 Bedrooms, Kitchen, Sea View | Balcony view

"Die Unterkunft war geräumig und hatte eine gut funktionierende Klimaanlage und Außenrollos. Durch die wenige Küchenaussttung war das kochen und abwachen schwierig. Müsli zum Frühstück ging. Der Balkon/ Die Unterkunft lag leider direkt an einer viel befahrenen Straße. Der Standort war ungefähr 200m verrutscht eingezeichnet, wodurch wir es schwer finden konnten. Es ist direkt über den Juli Market, was sehr praktisch war. "

Julia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean hotel with excellent staff and service. Great little swimming pool with comfy sun loungers. A short walk to a grocery store and restaurants. Recommended "

Apart-Hotel Lili2

10/10 Excellent

"Me and my partner had a lovely stay at the hotel. The apartment room we had was absolutely massive with a huge balcony connecting the dining space and bedroom area. Both rooms had smart new LG Tvs in them compatible with apps like Netflix and Disney plus and the hotel in general was very new and clean. As mentioned in the previous comments the utensils in the kitchen area were a bit sparse and could have included a few more items. The hotel is located a short walk away from the main strip into Sarande beach with lots of food and grocery shop options close by. I would like to highlight that the accommodation is at the top of a big flight of steps from the main strip and this could be tiring to walk up and down multiple times a day. Overall though I had a lovely stay at this hotel and would definitely recommend especially for the price. "

Glow Boutique Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Quite nice luxury hotel with excellent amenities and the staff being extremely welcoming/ helpful with all inputs. The only downside is the main boulevard is a 40 walk unless you rent a scooter or pay for taxi which is ridiculously priced all over sarande and only via cash. Rooms were very neat and prices were reasonable for the hotel as well so highly recommend it given there are so many dining options and a scooter rental next door. "
