The castle is a walled neighbourhood with a couple of hundred residents, and several families run guesthouses inside it. It is a twenty-minute climb on cobbles with no lighting at night.\r\nWhy is it called the city of a thousand windows? | The Ottoman houses are stacked up both sides of the gorge with rows of large wooden windows facing the river, so from across the water the hillside looks like nothing but windows. The view from Gorica before sunset is the one.\r\nIs Berat worth it if I have seen Gjirokast\u00ebr? | They are different: Berat is white houses in a gorge with a living castle, Gjirokast\u00ebr is grey stone on a mountainside with a larger fortress. Most people who see both prefer Berat, and they are three hours apart on the same road south.\r\nWhat about the wine? | Berat is the centre of Albanian wine, with family wineries twenty minutes out working local Shesh grapes. Tastings start at \u20ac10 and guesthouses arrange the transport.\r\nIs it cheap? | Very. Dorms \u20ac9 to \u20ac16, guesthouse rooms with breakfast \u20ac20 to \u20ac35, meals \u20ac7 to \u20ac12, and a glass of local wine about a euro.\r\nWhen should I go? | May, September or October.
