Description

We meet at the futuristic Convex Dome. From there, walk over to the Roman Amphitheatre, built nearly two thousand years ago as the largest ancient arena in the Balkans. Walking through its arches and lower galleries gives you a clear sense of the city's deep historical roots. After exploring the ancient ruins, head toward the coastal Vollga Promenade. In the evening, this area fills with locals enjoying the traditional Xhiro (evening walk). Along the promenade, pass several prominent outdoor statues and contemporary public art pieces that line the waterfront, blending the city's modern culture with the coastal breeze. Further down the walk, reach the “Sphinx” of Durrës—a modern concrete sculpture set right on the water's edge. It’s a popular local spot to pause, watch the sunset over the Adriatic Sea, and take photos along the coast before concluding the guided portion of the tour. The tour ends along the waterfront, putting you in a great location to continue your evening. From here, you can sit down for a drink at a coastal café, grab dinner nearby, or explore the surrounding streets at your own pace.
