Go to the castle, but not on foot because it is very steep

4.00Of course, if you take a trip to Albania, you can not miss Berat. And I must say it was exciting to see how people try to preserve and present the remains here. You have to consider that it is a developing country after a long dictatorship and that the money is not very much. They do a lot with little. We ate at the castle and had fun
