The Saint Maria Church is located just outside of Permet in the village of Leuse. A 3km hike up the mountainside takes you from the center of town directly to the church entrance. The walk has gorgeous panoramic views of the city and its surrounding countryside. Before leaving the city, be sure to stop by the tourism information office and request that the church be unlocked or you'll miss the gorgeous frescoes located inside, which are very well preserved. Paintings decorate every wall and the entire ceiling. Definitely a must-see attraction in Permet!

Gjirokaster bazar is set at foothill beneath the imposing Gjirokaster castle. It's a maze of winding cobbled streets going up and down. Entire area is packed with dozens of shops - some authentic selling Albanian hand crafts like rugs and clothing items, some ordinary touristic selling souvenirs. Anyway, it's a great and very picturesque area to stroll among Ottoman era architecture. Be sure to have a drink in one of many bars or to try the traditional pastry - byrek.
