Hello, my name is Klarens. I am a local resident of Gjirokaster with a deep passion for history. I love exploring the rich cultural heritage and fascinating past of this ancient city. In addition to my love for history, I greatly enjoy meeting new people from all walks of life. Gjirokaster has so much to offer, from its majestic castle and traditional stone houses to its vibrant markets and cultural festivals. Each visit and each new encounter is an opportunity to share the magic of this city with others. I am always excited to see how people from around the world react to its charm and beauty.
