Beautifull view Love it! what an epic place. the mountain, souvenirs and church.. everything is amazing 🤩.. we drove there from tirana on Sat & the road was slightly jam, thus we had to take some off roads .. it took us around 1.5h to get to the top. it wasn’t that crowded.. thus i’d recommend it to visit it over the weekdays Beautiful and with an amazing view of the city. The place itself was well laid out and had good information. On the way up the road we had a young boy throw candles on our car, to try to get us to buy them. So just be careful as people will be waiting for you to try to buy things. But other thank that I really enjoyed my time here! Amazing place especially during the 13 weeks of good Tuesday.
