Izgar

Fshati Izgar in Petran is and has been uninhabited for many years, roughly around 50. From that it can be quite considered as a lost city and without the help of people from Izgar it is quite impossible to get there. On Google there are only some results of Izgar, and you can even find 1 video however it is impossible to find Izgar on google maps directions. From people who have visited Izgar the coordinates of it on google maps are 40°14'38.0"N 20°28'59.0"E. Izgar has been very beautiful with its structural houses and rocks and natural beauty.
