Overview
Available languages
8 hours
Mobile ticket
This tour combines two completely different sides of Albania in one unforgettable day: the ancient world of Apollonia and the wild coastal beauty of Karavasta Lagoon.
Walk through 2,500-year-old ruins where Greek and Roman civilization once flourished, then shift into a peaceful natural landscape filled with pine forests, waterways, and rare wildlife. Unlike standard history tours, this experience blends archaeology, nature, panoramic viewpoints, and relaxing free time by the sea.
Climbing the FireWatch Tower offers one of the widest lagoon views in Albania, while the journey itself passes through scenic countryside rarely explored by visitors. It is the perfect balance of culture, landscapes, and authentic local atmosphere.

From Tirana to Durres

5.00We booked the trip online late in the evening in Tirana. The next morning, a car picked us up from the hotel and we drove to Durres. We saw all the sights, took a walk along the beach, and had a delicious lunch. After that, we were driven back to the hotel in Tirana.
