    Nice cultural tour with a beautiful UNESCO-site Berat and and other equally beautiful towns Durres & Elbasan. Nice architecture, picturesque views, seaside in Durres and full of interesting history. A guide, Tauland, was very informative, flexible & effective, with whom the day passed full of newly learned things & experiencies.
