Overview
Hello dear visitors!
Step into over 3,000 years of history with a guided tour of Durrës, Albania’s ancient port city on the Adriatic. Founded by the Greeks and flourished under the Romans, Durrës was the gateway to the Via Egnatia, connecting Rome to Byzantium.
Explore the largest Roman amphitheatre in the Balkans, wander by the Byzantine walls and Venetian Tower, and marvel at treasures in the Archaeological Museum, including mosaics and statues that tell the city’s story. Stroll through lively boulevards where past and present meet, from Ottoman echoes to Italian architecture. Relax on the seaside promenade, enjoy local markets, and savour fresh seafood with Albanian wine. More than ruins, Durrës is a living city where history blends with vibrant coastal life. This tour offers an immersive journey — perfect for history lovers, culture seekers, and those looking to experience the soul of Albania.
