Guide To Qarrishta $299 350

🕊️ Step into a real-life story of courage, faith, and humanity.

This one-day guided tour takes you on a road trip into history. From the city streets of Tirana to the quiet mountain village of Qarrishta, where 26 Jews were rescued during World War II by the brave Biçaku family. Walk the same trails they once walked, hear stories passed down through generations, and share a traditional meal just like the one served in those unforgettable days.

✅ What’s Included in the Price:

• Comfortable round-trip off-road transport from Tirana to Qarrishta, with scenic stops and guided narration along the way.
• A personal local tour guide — a direct descendant of the Biçaku family who sheltered 26 Jews during WWII. Hear the story through the eyes of those who lived it.
• A traditional home-cooked lunch prepared by local villagers using the same ingredients and recipes shared with the rescued families during the war. An authentic taste of the past.
• Intimate group setting (maximum 9 people) for a meaningful, interactive experience where you can ask questions, reflect, and connect deeply with the history.
• Visits to the Jewish Memorial, original hiding locations, and preserved landmarks along mountain trails within the Shebenik National Park.
• Optional stop for local handmade products (honey, tea, etc.) and cultural crafts.
