Today your journey continues towards Voskopoja. The mountainous Voskopoja had its heyday in the 17th/18th century. Today it is a picturesque village with only about 500 inhabitants. In Voskopoja you have the opportunity to visit several exceptional Orthodox collegiate churches. Some of them have already been restored. You will have enough time to stroll through the cosy village. 
Afterwards you will visit the "French" Korça. Why French? - Because the town was declared an autonomous republic under French protectorate during the First World War. However, the protectorate lasted only a few years. The first French school in the country was also opened in Korça (1917-1939). Korça's population, proud and very open-minded, calls their city "Little Paris" because it is romantic and artistic as well as known for its serenades. The National Museum of Medieval Albanian Art with its collection of Orthodox icons (by the famous Onufri brothers) and the huge Orthodox cathedral are of course worth a visit. Overnight in Korce at the Grand Hotel Palace.
