Catalog of Tourism Offers - Kosovo Guide

Day Three - Prizren – Gjakova – along the Middle Age era trade route to Dubrovnik
We will visit Prizren’s stone bridge, built in 1534 by Ali Bag; the city hamam, also built in
1534; the Sinan Pasha mosque; the museum house of Prizren’s Albanian League.
On June 10, 1878, patriots and intellectuals from all over the Albanian lands established the
League - a political, military and cultural program to protect Albanian territories. We will then visit
the ruins of the Roman-era Prizren castle, the Serbian Orthodox church of the Virgin in Ljevish,
and the monastery of Saint Archangel, built near the city between 1343 and 1352. We will spend
some time in the Old Bazaar, which offers famous handicrafts made from silver filigree. On the
trip from Prizren to Gjakova, we will visit the Tailors’ Bridge, a grand stone bridge of eleven arches,
which was reputedly built 300 years ago by the tailors of Gjakova and Prizren as an important link
in the strategic trade route known as “Via Egnatia”, the Roman road that crossed Illyricum,
Macedonia, Greece and European Turkey. In Gjakova, we will visit the bazaar area, which
exemplifies Kosovo traditional architecture; the Hadum mosque; “Teqja e Bektashive,”
a feudal house; and the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul.
Day Four - Mirusha Waterfalls - Deçan - Peja
We visit the waterfalls on the Mirusha river and continue towards Peja, stopping en route at the
Serbian Orthodox Deçan monastery, and the patriarchate in Peja, both of which feature outstanding
examples of paintings from the 13th to the 17th centuries. The Dukagjini region, which includes
Prizren, Gjakova, Deçan and Peja, is well known for its large number of “kullas,” traditional
Albanian stone houses dating from the last decades of the Ottoman Empire. We will visit Haxhi
Zeka’s kulla at Isniq, situated at the foot of the Accursed Mountains, 12 kilometers from Peja.
We will then drive through the Rugova Valley gorge, an excellent place for camping, fishing,
skiing and climbing, and the Bogë Valley. Our day ends with lunch in Istog/Burim, at the
restaurant “Trofta”, which has the biggest trout pool in Kosovo.
