Prizren City Tour – Daily tour from Tirana

We’ll meet at 8 p.m. at our hotel in Tirana. Then we’ll drive to Prizren, Kosovo. After border control in 20 min, we arrived in the Prizren city . Our local guide is waiting for us to start exploring every corner of the city .

Albanian League of Prizren: The league was established at the meeting of 47 Ottoman beys. An initial position of the league was presented in the document known as Kararname. With this document, Albanian leaders emphasized their intention to preserve and maintain the territorial integrity of the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans by supporting the Porte, and “to struggle in arms to defend the wholeness of the territories of Albania”. Although it said nothing about the reforms, schools, autonomy or about the union of the Albanian population within one vilayet, under influence of Abdyl Frashëri. This initial position has changed radically and resulted in demands of autonomy of Albanians and open war against the Ottoman Empire.

The Prizren Castle: Contains in itself an important part of the ancient history of the city. Its topographic position, its domination over the city, a rather attractive natural landscape, and the well-thought architectural configuration render the site rather valuable in terms of archaeology, history and tourism. It is located in the eastern part of the city, over a conical-shaped hill.

Sinan Pasha Mosque: The walls and dome inside Sinan Pasha Mosque were painted in the 19th century, mostly of floral patterns and Qur’an verses. The minbar is painted with floral motives. Both the large dome and the half-dome of the mosque are covered with lead. The stone flooring of the mosque and the carpentry are original.
