We had an exhilarating time exploring the rugged trails leading to the impressive cave and the ancient fortress, which offered breathtaking views. The guide was knowledgeable and kept the pace just right, though a bit more time to soak in the scenery would have been nice. Overall, the combination of hiking and history made for a memorable day, and we left with a deeper appreciation for the area.

Exploring the stunning Pellumbas Cave and climbing up to Petrela Castle was a highlight of my trip around Tiranë. The hike was invigorating, though I wish the transportation to the starting point had been a bit smoother; it felt a bit rushed.
