Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: The houses are built on following levels on the slope of the mountain, as can be seen on photo 1 and 2. Between the houses, alleys climb towards the upper levels.

At river level, most of these alleys are wide and paved, sometimes with stairs.

As much they climb, as much they are narrow. Some have rough stairs (photos 3 and 4) but others are almost natural rock with a few half stairs, just to help.

Good walking shoes are obviously the best choice to visit Berat!
