Rejseplan
Når vi forlader Tirana, tager vi mod den sydlige del af landet for at besøge en af de mest unikke og charmerende byer i Albanien. Om omkring 2 timers kørsel kører vi gennem noget blødt, lavt terræn i et af de mest produktive landbrugsområder i Albanien.
Slottet i Berat og slottet i Elbasan er de eneste 2 historiske steder, hvor livet har været i konstant udvikling i det mindste i de sidste 2 århundreder. De tunge sten i murens fundament stammer fra antikken, hvor byen blomstrede under Antipatrea-navnet. Slottet er det ældste kvarter i den historiske del med en stor ortodoks befolkning og mange charmerende byzantinske kirker. Beliggende på toppen af en bakke dominerer dette slot byen i dag og er naturligt beskyttet fra 3 sider fra meget stejlt terræn. Befolkningen indeni har boet inde i dette slot i århundreder, hvilket på denne måde har skabt et meget stærkt fællesskab, næsten som en stor familie.
Beliggende inde i det græsk-ortodokse kloster, "The Dormitory of St Mary", er dette et af de mest interessante museer, relateret til religiøs arv. Selve kirken, en typisk byzantinsk, dobbelt korsformet kirke med 2 domme repræsenterer en af de bedst bevarede kirker i Albanien. Bortset fra dets glamourøse Iconostas og spektakulære malerier i skibet, menes det, at det også var dekoreret med en dekorativ roset, lige over hoveddomen. Ikonmuseet rummer hovedsageligt malerier fra Onufri og hans eftermæle, men også en anonym maler fra perioden. Disse er alle vidnesbyrd om et højt intellektuelt niveau i byen.
Baseret på de arkæologiske udgravninger og dokumenter genopblomstrede Berat i det 13. århundrede, især inde i slottet. Byen udvikler sig, hvilket medfører en stigning i befolkningen og på denne måde en udvidelse af boligerne uden for Slottet. Mangalem var hovedsageligt opbygget i den osmanniske periode og blev bestemt formet som i dag efter et jordskælv, hvor nogle dele af byen blev ødelagt. Stilen ændrede sig fra en stil med tunge tårne med små vinduer og sten til en lettere struktur, med flere vinduer og meget lettere.
I løbet af det 17. og 18. århundrede var Berat en af de vigtigste byer i Albanien, og den tiltrak også borgere fra hele landet for at skabe bosættelser rundt om byen. På denne måde blev Gorica primært skabt som et handelskvarter, især med borgere fra Voskopoja i det sydøstlige Albanien. Byens hvide farve og stilen blev bevaret og skabte på denne måde en by med to lignende ansigter på 2 sider af Osumi-floden, forbundet gennem Goricas stenbro.
Fra antikken har Durres sandsynligvis været den vigtigste albanske by, i det mindste indtil 1920, da Tirana blev udråbt som Albaniens hovedstad. Det stammer fra antikken, som en af de vigtigste havne i Middelhavet. Også for romerne var det en af de vigtigste stationer på "Via Egnatia", en købmand romersk vej. Et storslået amfiteater med omkring 20.000 pladser blev bygget

We had a great trip with Daniel who was very personable and knowledgeable. Berat was very beautiful and worth seeing for sure. He suggested lunch as a winery which was fantastic thorough enjoyed that (Alpeta). Durres was ok there is an old Roman ruins of an amphitheatre there.
It's a bit of a long day but our guide gave us so much insight into Albanian history it was well worth it. The hilltop fortress of Berat was especially fascinating.
I have nothing but rave reviews for Go as Local Tours! I worked with Riserd, who helped organize three tours for myself and two friends, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. We began with a walking food tour on the day we arrived. They were kind enough to adjust the start time to fit our flight schedule, which was a huge help. Unfortunately, during the tour, one of my friends stumbled off a curb and fractured her foot (though we didn’t know it was fractured at the time). Our guide, Engel, immediately took us to a pharmacy on the way back to our hotel, which was so thoughtful. The next day we were scheduled to hike to Bovilla Lake, and Riserd could not have been more accommodating. He gave us the option to switch days or cancel if needed. He also suggested a creative solution so that my injured friend could still participate—she was driven up to the restaurant while the rest of us hiked. It worked out perfectly: she was able to rest her foot, take in the spectacular views, and enjoy the adventurous drive. We also arranged a day trip to Berat, and once again the company went above and beyond. They drove us directly up to the castle so my friend could sit comfortably and enjoy the stunning scenery while the rest of us explored. Later, they dropped us downtown for lunch and then picked us up at a convenient spot so she didn’t have to walk back to the car. Every tour was fabulous, the guides were excellent, and the company’s flexibility and care made all the difference. They turned what could have been a very difficult situation into a smooth, enjoyable experience for all of us. I can’t recommend Go as Local Tours highly enough!
We highly recommend this private day tour of Berat! Our guide, Aleks, provided us with a wealth of information about Berat as well as the country and culture of Albania, It was very interesting to explore the castle and churches, and to see the town from various perspectives. We appreciated Aleks’s thoughtfulness, good nature, and safe driving, The communication with Go Local via WhatsApp was smooth, the pickup was on time, and the car was comfortable. Overall, the tour was a memorable experience, well worth the cost and time!
Armando could answer all the relevant questions and was a very pleasant Guide with great expertise
We were picked up by Julio. He was professional, hospitable and perhaps one of the most knowledgeable 28 year old, I have ever met! He gave us many interesting insights about the country and knew so much about world affairs! The drive was comfortable and the weather was perfect. Berat is a beautiful sight.
We are glad you enjoyed your Day Tour of Berat. We are delighted to hear the guide did a good job also. Wishing you many more great adventures.
This one day trip to Berat took place on a wonderful sunny day. We were picked up on time by Daniel in a nice roomy private car. Daniel was very knowledgeable about Albania s history and culture going back to the Ottoman times. He managed to take us to the castle by car avoiding difficult and steep pathways as my wife had a leg injury. We stopped often to take pictures and could get out of the car. Daniel even invited us to a coffee to express his traditional Albanian hospitality . He extended the tour well above the official time-line without additional costs . Wonderful trip , great experience and communication by WhatsApp.
Very sympathetic and competent English speaking guide. He could not only tell us about the villages, but was also available to answer other questions about land, people, history and current issues. Spontaneously he also responded to our request to visit a non-tourist restaurant and adapted the route accordingly. Absolute recommendation. However, we had hoped for a little more from the tour and the places we visited. Especially at the price, that was too little. We still like to think back on the beautiful but not extraordinary day.
Armando was a fantastic guide and had so much information to share. Highly recommend this date trip.
All the logistics with Go as Local were fine - initial communication by email, later by WhatsApp in Albania, hotel pickup, driving and drop-off. The guide Xhulio was very friendly, informative and accommodating throughout the day. As for the places themselves, I found the walk around the castle of Berat very pleasant, with nice views below, an opportunity for a selfie with Constantine, and an interesting stop at the iconography museum. It was nice to get in touch with Roman history at Dyrrachium / Durrës too, with the amphitheatre, its little bit of mosaics and a short walk to the sea.
