We visited the small mosque in the city center. She is prettier on the outside than on the inside. She is sober. Women must go upstairs while men stay downstairs. Free entry but a small contribution is urgently requested…

First of all, the front pic on TA is misleading showing the Gjirokaster fortress clock tower. This is NOT a Mosque.
The Gjirokaster Mosque is set beneath the fortress at the beginning of the uphill path in old town leading to the castle.
It's a rather plain Mosque, but nested between dense old houses, so it looks picturesque. Quick and nice 5 min stop.

... a Mosque with a bar on the ground floor (the sanctuary is on the first floor). That may be not anyone's cup of tea, but I had never seen something like this before, and I found it impressive. Tolerant, relaxed Albania.

In Gjirokaster we spend two nitghs at the Hotel/B&B Kotoni,30€ per nigth per room.Very good, good service, good breakfast,good vibes,good views, everything there was just good, even the little cat!!!!The place its amazing!!!!the people nice and very interested and to get to know who your are and were do you come from....We loved every single minute in Gjrirokaster.
Stay at Hotel Kotoni and enjoy the city.
Do not spend time in the NEW Gjirokaster, down town.
When you get by buss, like we did, or car, you will have to pass trhough the newr part of the city witch is down in the valley. Ypu will have to walk or take a local little bus or a taxi all the way up to the upper part of Gjirokaster, wich is the older one. you can also walk , like we did,it takes about 30 minute sto walk all the way upp, but the reward is just imposible to mention in words...the palce its really A MUST fort every one.

... but it's a pretty simple mosque, with no really interesting or outstanding architectural features. When I was there, on a hot afternoon late in Ramadan, the few people inside were napping.

The mosque is quite nice where it is situated in the old town and it is worth a visit. When I went there was no one around and I could admire the insides and relax.

Nice views, including the t-33 and italian tank, the plains and mountains were also super cool, and it was very interesting to see the history.
