Day-trip of Berat

Berat is one of those places that you travel to a country for! Some may call it cliche, but its homes and windows deserve the reputation they have – it is a must-stop visit on anyone’s tour to Albania.  This place really has to be seen to be believed – the views from the castle and walking along the quaint stone roads going every which-way is truly unique.  Bring your camera and an appetite!

  • 9:00 – Your guide will pick you up and you’ll drive to Berat (approximately 2 hour drive)
