After your visit of the Ardenica Monastery, continue through the city of Fier and towards the village of Pojan. You will visit Apollonia, an ancient settlement, one of the biggest in the Adriatic area. Wandering in this settlement hour after hour you will feel relaxed and meditative, through a landscape that little has changed since Antiquity. You will be introduced with the Church of Saint Mary, Archeological Museum, the Odeon, the library and the most photographed monument: the Bouleterion. Free time for lunch. Return to Tirana. End of service.

Begin your tour by driving towards the city of Fier. Your first stop will be in the Monastery of Ardenica.

Even though your first impression would be one of a regular cult object, in it you will find impressive historical and cultural values.
