KRISTAL

Located northeast of Korça, on a hill overlooking the town, and accessible only by car or cab. Formerly a workers' camp under the Communist regime, this establishment is housed in an unattractive concrete building, yet set in peaceful, green surroundings. The warmly-colored rooms are comfortable, and some have small balconies. There's also a large restaurant and private parking. But the real asset of this hotel is the magnificent view of the city and its surroundings.
