Albania Fier Culture & Historical Tours

Apollonia is one of Albania’s most unique archaeological sites. Situated a short drive from the town of Fier, it is located in what was once southern Illyria on the bank of the world-famous Vjosa River. A previous trade colony and polis, it dates back to at least 600 BC and functioned as a key economic and military hub for the region. Stroll through history, visit old temples, ruins, the odeon, nymphaeum, library, and St Mary’s Church. The tour will also stop at the Monastery of Ardenic, perched on top of a hill overlooking the countryside and the sea beyond. This monastery is home to a chapel where it is believed Skangerbeg got married many years before.
