Reviving Tradition: How a Fortified Home Became a Beacon of Sustainable Tourism in Albania

Nestled amidst the rugged mountains of Albania, the ancient village of Theth has been revitalized by a pioneering project that breathes new life into the region’s traditional fortified homes known as kullas. Once defensive strongholds, these majestic structures have been transformed into welcoming guesthouses, offering a unique blend of history, authenticity, and eco-friendly hospitality. These kullas not only showcase Albania’s rich cultural heritage but also serve as a catalyst for sustainable tourism, creating employment opportunities for the local community and promoting a deeper appreciation for the country’s natural and cultural treasures.
