The Ali Pasha Bridge is located near the beautiful town of Gjirokastra in Albania. You can easily hike there within 30 minutes and you can be pretty sure not to meet any other tourists.
The bridge was part of a larger aqueduct complex commissiones in the early 19th century by Ali Pasha of Tepelenë. Tje aqueducts fed the castle's cisterns with water from the Mount Sopot. Gjirokastra didn't have water at this time and Alia Pasha discerned the need of this structure.
The aqueduct was mostly destroyed in 1932, but this section remains.

"Struttura buona anche se manca qualche accortezza che l'avrebbe resa ottima. il punto più dolente è stata la doccia, piatto doccia senza nemmeno una tenda quindi ogni volta che facevamo la doccia si allagava il bagno. Per il resto letti comodi e lenzuola pulite con cambio a metà settimana. Asciugamani profumati e puliti anche questi con cambio a metà settimana ma se si ha bisogno di cambiarli più spesso non c'è problema. Ecco la cucina era un pò carente di stoviglie ma tutto sommato ci siamo...

"If you're looking for just another 5 star hotel - this is not the place to go. But if you're looking for a 5 star experience, you have come to the right place. Shawn and Kyle have created a very peaceful place to relax. Nice, comfortable houses, beautiful surroundings including an eco-pool, very good food. "

"Flower Garden Villa was a truly lovely place to stay. The room itself was SO clean, very spacious and has everything needed. Basic kitchen amenities and a little balcony! Some lovely seating outside too which is very nice if you want to be around pretty flowers! Location is perfect as you are tucked away from the business but only a short 5 minute walk away to the beach and supermarket, ATM and restaurants! It's perfect! "
