This excursion is ideal for those who want a quick yet comprehensive understanding of Albanian history. Within a single day, you’ll delve into the histories of three pivotal Albanian cities, and also enjoy some beach leisure time. Durres, which used to be the ancient Illyrian capital, is a city by the Adriatic sea offering stunning views. Kruja played a significant role during Albania’s days under the Ottoman rule, with its well-known Ottoman Bazzar leading up to the castle being a highlight. Tirana not only served as a key city through the dictatorial era but also stands as the formal capital of Albania.
