Tour Overview
Meet with our representatives at Durres Port “Start the tour from Durres port and Depart to Berat one of the most fascinating Albanian towns with a mixture of cultural influences. Being more than the 2400-year-old, the town it is one of the most attractive towns in Albania. Established in the 3rd century B.C by an Illyrian tribe of central Albania with a protective castle, it was known as the fortified city of Antipatrea. In 1417 the town was occupied by the Turks who build quite a few mosques in the area below the town’s old castle. Berat is situated at the foot of Tomorri Mountain and on the shores of River Osum. Built almost all, in white on a slope of green with the river at its feet, it offers a striking view as soon as it becomes visible. It is famous for its white-washed houses with their many windows which, seem to have been built on top of each other, which give it the nickname “town of a thousand windows”. Because of these, the town retains a unique style of architecture, with narrow and stone-paved streets.
