What to bring
Wear comfortable shoes, as the walk to the Sari Salltik cave shrine includes a moderate uphill section of about 15 minutes and the path can be icy in winter.
Dress modestly for the shrine by covering your shoulders and knees, and be prepared to remove your shoes if requested.
Bring cash in Albanian Lek for purchases in the Old Bazaar, as this is preferred, though some shops may accept euros.
Accessibility
The experience includes walking on cobblestones at the castle and bazaar, as well as a short uphill walk to the shrine, which may not be suitable for those with limited mobility or wheelchair users.
