Description
Embark on a memorable 6-hour day tour from Durrës to Kruja and Preza Castle, a journey that blends Albania’s heroic history with breathtaking landscapes.
Begin with a scenic drive inland from the Adriatic coast, passing rolling hills and villages before reaching the historic town of Kruja. Perched dramatically on Mount Kruja, the iconic Kruja Castle awaits—once the legendary stronghold of Albania’s national hero, Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg. Explore its ancient walls, enjoy a guided visit inside the Skanderbeg Museum, and learn how this fortress became a symbol of Albanian resistance.
After immersing yourself in history, stroll through the colorful Old Bazaar, where craftsmen display handmade carpets, carved wood, silver jewelry, and antiques. This is the perfect place to shop for unique souvenirs or simply enjoy the lively atmosphere of the traditional market.
Continue with a scenic drive toward Preza Castle, a smaller yet charming medieval fortress overlooking the Tirana plain. Its peaceful setting and panoramic views over the countryside and the distant Adriatic make it an ideal spot for photos and a brief relaxing break. Walk through its stone pathways, climb its towers, and enjoy the tranquil surroundings.
After exploring Preza, relax on the comfortable return drive to Durrës, bringing back a deeper appreciation of Albania’s cultural heritage and natural beauty.
