Kruja

On a clear day you can look down all the way to the coast. Kruja is a lovely and charming town, with an Ethnographic Museum (a centuries-old house museum) that must be experienced. There are shops with artists and weavers, and this is a great place to buy wood or alabaster carvings, beautiful rugs, unique paintings, and even the traditional clothing for which Albania has long been famous.

Eat at the Restaurant Turist, which is much better than the name implies!
