Description
Your journey begins with a comfortable pickup from Tirana, where your tour guide will greet you and accompany you on a scenic drive toward the Durrës region. Located about 1 hour and 30 minutes away, this area along the Adriatic Sea is known for its natural beauty, historical charm, and laid-back coastal atmosphere.
Your first stop will be at the breathtaking Cape of Rodon, a rocky peninsula that stretches into the sea, offering dramatic views and a peaceful escape from the crowds. This lesser-known treasure is home to the ruins of Skanderbeg’s Castle, built by Albania’s national hero in the 15th century, as well as the historic St. Anthony Church. As you explore the area, your guide will share fascinating stories and insights into its historical and cultural significance. With its panoramic views, sea cliffs, and ancient ruins, Cape of Rodon is a perfect blend of nature and history.
Following your visit, the tour continues with a relaxing break along the Adriatic coast, where you'll have up to 5 hours of free time. Enjoy a walk on the soft sandy beach, swim in the refreshing, clear waters, or simply unwind with a drink or delicious lunch at one of the local seaside restaurants. Whether you're looking to explore, relax, or soak up the sun, this part of the day is all about enjoying Albania's beautiful coastline at your own pace.
As the afternoon comes to a close, your guide will take you back to Tirana, leaving you with wonderful memories of a day filled with history, nature, and seaside charm.
