Escape Tirana for a day and discover the perfect combination of history and seaside relaxation in Durrës.
Travel from Tirana to Durrës, one of Albania's oldest cities and an important ancient port on the Adriatic coast.
Begin your experience in the historic heart of the city, where ancient and medieval landmarks tell the storey of Durrës through centuries of Roman, Byzantine and Venetian influence.
Visit the spectacular Roman Amphitheatre, an impressive ancient monument once used for gladiatorial games and one of the most important archaeological sites in Albania.
Continue through the historic centre to see the Venetian Tower and other traces of the city's old fortifications. Take your time to walk through the city, enjoy the atmosphere and capture photos of Durrës's historic streets and Adriatic coastline.
After exploring the city's history, it's time to slow down.
Head to the sandy beach and enjoy free time by the Adriatic Sea. Swim in the sea, relax under the sun, walk along the shore or simply enjoy a peaceful beach break away from the busy streets of Tirana.
At the end of the day, meet your guide and enjoy a comfortable return journey to Tirana.
This is Durrës in one day: ancient history, iconic landmarks, Mediterranean atmosphere and time by the sea.
