Full description
Discover Kruja and Durres from Tirana. Visit Skanderbeg's Castle, the Old Bazaar, and the Roman Amphitheater in Durres. A perfect blend of medieval history and classical archaeology with included pickup.
Explore the contrasts of Albania on a journey that takes you from the mountain heights to the shores of the Adriatic. Kruja, known as the "Balcony of the Adriatic," offers spectacular views and a deep dive into the country's heroic resistance, while Durres reveals the grandeur of its Roman and Byzantine past. It is a tour where history comes alive among impregnable castles, ancient amphitheaters, and traditional bazaars.
We will begin with the pickup from your selected pickup point towards Kruja, perched 1000 meters above sea level. We will visit Kruja Castle and the Skanderbeg Museum, dedicated to our national hero, along with the Ethnographic Museum. We will stroll through the Old Bazaar, famous for its authentic antiques and handmade souvenirs. We will then continue to Durres, one of the oldest cities in the Mediterranean, to explore its historic center, the impressive Roman Amphitheater, and the Roman Baths. You will enjoy a day that blends mountain mysticism with the sea breeze before returning to Tirana.
