One-Day Tour
Welcome to Gjakova, a city of tradition,
culture and heritage
Highlights
From Pristina, arrive in Gjakova for a coffee in the Old Bazaar and a visit to the Gjakova Clock
Tower, which marks the center of the Old Bazaar. We also visit the grain market and see firsthand
handicrafts made by local quilt-workers, saddler makers, silversmiths and embroiderers. We then
visit the 16th-century mosque of “Hadum Aga,” stop for tea in a traditional house, and later watch
a group of craftsmen who make wooden boxes by hand. After, we have the special opportunity
to visit a Bektashi “Tekke” (traditional lodge) and hear stories of the “Babai” (spiritual leader) of the
Tekke. The Bektashi are an Islamic Sufi order, which is considered a branch of Shiite Islam.
We also visit the 16th-century inn of “Hani i Haraçisë,” the Old Bazaar shopping area
and Ethnographic Museum. Lunch will be at the hotel “Çarshia e Jupave,” which
was built in 2004, combining traditional stone and modern design elements.
