Tirana to Durres

Exploring the coastal city

Beginning our tour from Tirana, we will be travelling to the coastal city of Durres, a unique blend of culture and nature. Here, we will be able to take a leisurely stroll on the main promenade and witness the serene beauty of the sea, as well as visit the historic amphitheatre which has long been home to the battles of Gladiators.

Durrest to Berat

The historical city of 1001 windows

We shall set forth from Durres and make our way to Central South Albania, to the City of Many Windows, Berat. Since 2008, it has been inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage list, and continues to be a significant city even today, boasting a remarkable history of over two millennia. Despite the passage of time, life has remained persistent here, and the Castle or “Kalaja” is the oldest district of the city. Predominantly inhabited by the Christian Orthodox population, this part of the city features a remarkable assemblage of churches, some of which date as far back as the 14th century.

The Castle of Berat

The majestic Citadel of Berat, commonly referred to as Berat Castle and its castle quarter, soars grandly above the town of Berat, Albania. Its majestic walls date back to the 13th century and are surrounded by a multitude of Byzantine churches as well as Ottoman mosques.

Mangalem historical neighbourhood

The 1001 windows

Mangalem stands majestically in the hills below the castle, its typical architecture and white walls being a testament to its past. It is a scene of beauty, its counterpart, Gorica, visible in the many windows that line its walls. Structured mainly during the Ottoman period, it was still affected by the devastating earthquake which saw parts of the city destroyed and the style of architecture change from its heavy towers with small windows and stone to a lighter build with larger windows.

We can also enjoy a traditional lunch in Berat.

Belsh city

The Tuscany of Albania

As we depart from The 1001 windows and embark on our journey back to Tirana, we shall traverse past what has been bestowed the title of “the Tuscany of Albania”, a realm of lush emerald hills, flourishing olive groves and many tranquil small lakes, creating an awe-inspiring vista.
