What To Expect

Butrint National Park

Butrint is a place where history feels alive. Declared a “museum town” back in 1961 and added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1992, it’s one of Albania’s most treasured archaeological sites. As we walk through the ruins, we’ll visit the beautifully preserved Greek-Roman theater dedicated to Asclepius, the god of medicine, step inside the old Byzantine Basilica, explore the small museum inside the castle, and discover many other fascinating remains from ancient times.

Ksamil

Ksamil is easily one of the most breathtaking spots in southern Albania. Its tiny islands just offshore and its crystal-clear waters make it feel like a little corner of paradise. During our visit, we’ll head to some of Ksamil’s prettiest beaches, where you’ll have time to unwind, swim, or simply enjoy the scenery.
