The morning starts among the hives. Kastrioti has kept bees on these slopes all his life, and he opens a hive for you, explains what the bees are foraging on that week - thyme, sage, wild oregano, chestnut - and lets you taste the honey raw, the way it comes out.
From the bee park you walk up into the stone villages above town: cobbled lanes, slate roofs, and the small Orthodox churches with their hand-painted frescoes. Your guide grew up here and knows whose door to knock on. Easy walking, four to five hours, back in Përmet for lunch.

Good to know
Yes. Kastrioti opens the hives calmly and you stand where he tells you; protective veils are available. If you have a bee-sting allergy, tell us in advance and you can watch from a distance.
Around two hours of easy walking on village lanes and paths, with plenty of stops. Comfortable shoes are enough - no hiking experience is needed.
