It’s always such a lovely hike up there in the Old Himara, exercise and leisure all in one. Don’t forget to wear some good hiking shoes, suitable for slippery terrain. The cobble stones of the whole place are sharp and slippery. You can leave your car next to the small chapel down at the base by the national road and start your hike from there. Once you have seen all the pretty ruins, the church, and castle and all, try to find the recently opened organic juice and tea café almost t the top of the Old Town Castle area.

Not worth a trip on its own but worth a stop if you are fit and in the area.…

A very picturesque setting with stone paved narrow streets that will bring you up to the castle. Great views from the top of the castle ruins. It's worth visiting and do not expect spend much time on this sight.

We drove up the hill to visit the castle. It is more like ruins of a small village. Some people still live there. It was hot but nice to wonder the narrow cobbled stone paths.
