Berat

We shall set forth from Tirana and make our way to Central South Albania, to the City of Many Windows, Berat. Since 2008, it has been inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage list, and continues to be a significant city even today, boasting a remarkable history of over two millennia. Despite the passage of time, life has remained persistent here, and the Castle or “Kalaja” is the oldest district of the city. Predominantly inhabited by the Christian Orthodox population, this part of the city features a remarkable assemblage of churches, some of which date as far back as the 14th century. The drive takes aroun 1 hour and a half from Tirana

Belsh

On the way from Tirana, we shall traverse past what has been bestowed the title of "the Tuscany of Albania", a realm of lush emerald hills, flourishing olive groves and many tranquil small lakes, creating an awe-inspiring vista. The city has a small lake and a nice touristy and picturesque area around it. We can have a short stop to take some pictures or just to enjoy a coffee break.

    Great tour with Zenny. He killed it. Super cool guide and was great at delivering the history of Albania, Tirana, Berat or whatever. We had a blast. We did a lunch in Berat and this was such a great experience. Zenny and the restaurant owner really rolled out the red carpet. We left stuffed both our stomachs and our brains.

    We had an amazing day at Berat with Xhuljano. He is very friendly, knowledgeable and never rushed through the day. He kept us engaged throughout the day with the history of Berat and showed us many beautiful spots in the Berat Castle. We had lunch at a restaurant with a beautiful view. I highly recommend this tour and Xhuljano as the Driver and Guide.

    We went on 3 day trips last week through Local Friends Albania. The customer experience right from gathering details, inputs on the tour options was fantastic. This made planning much easier and simple. On to the trips - (1) Kruje and Durres, (2) Belsh lake and Berat and (3) Shkoder lake, drop off in Kotor. We had Elton for (1) and (3), Xeni for (2). They were both very professional, punctual. Communication was great, including getting in touch the previous day to coordinate. They both possess great knowledge of Albania, the places they took us to including some good places for lunch. We never use tour operators, Albania is still developing its tourism infrastructure. Therefore, recommend using a tour operator to get the best of a lovely country with wonderful places, sights, food and friendly people. A step further and I will recommend Local Friends Albania who helped with a great trip for us.

  • Fantastic tour and well taken care of

    Local Friends Albania were always very quick to reply to my messages. A day before the tour, my guide/driver Elton messaged to introduce himself. He was a fantastic guide who took care of me very well and was very interesting to talk to. Also his expert driving was very impressive going up and down the steep hill of Berat Castle! This was my first of two day tours and it was fantastic. I didn’t need to think about anything and Elton managed the timing. This day tour is a good and easy way to see a little bit of everything.

  • Great day trip from Tirana

    We thoroughly enjoyed the long day-trip to Durres and Berat despite the really hot day. Our driver/guide Franko was courteous, informative and a pleasure to be with. We were particularly impressed with the beautiful town of Berat.
