Itinerary
Kruja Bazaar
Honestly, this market is my favorite. Walking on the old cobblestones, smelling the fresh coffee, seeing the handmade rugs... it just feels like stepping back in time.
Castle Of Kruja.
Once we get up to the castle, just wait until you see the view. It’s absolutely wild. We'll walk around the old walls and just take a minute to soak in how peaceful it is. Use your free time to grab a ticket and explore their incredible historical exhibits.
Durres
Now we're off to the coast! Durrës is one of our oldest cities, where ancient Roman ruins are just sitting right next to modern apartment buildings and the Adriatic Sea.
Durres Amphitheatre
This is a hidden gem. It’s a massive Roman amphitheater right in the middle of the city. You can actually walk down into the tunnels where the gladiators used to wait.
Promenade Park (Shetitorja "Vollga")
Let's walk along the waterfront promenade. It’s where all the locals go for a stroll. We can grab some gelato, feel the sea breeze, and check out the modern Sphinx statue.
