(Optional) Climb the Watch Tower for a breathtaking view over central Albania and the Adriatic coastline.
After exploring Kruja, continue to Durres, Albania’s historic coastal city. Walk through ancient ruins at the Byzantine Forum, visit the grand Amphitheater of Durres (among the largest in the Balkans), and admire the 15th-century Venetian Tower.
