Activity itinerary

Kruja Castle
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
Krujë Castle is one of the most important historical monuments in Albania. Located on a hilltop in the city of Krujë, it dates back to the 5th century. The castle became famous in the 15th century as the centre of resistance led by Skanderbeg against the Ottoman Empire. Inside the castle, you can visit the Skanderbeg Museum, the Ethnographic Museum, and a traditional bazaar with local crafts. The castle offers stunning panoramic views and is a popular cultural and historical destination.
Kruja Bazaar (Pass by)
The Bazaar of Krujë, also known as the Old Bazaar, is a charming cobblestone market located just outside the entrance of Krujë Castle. It dates back to the Ottoman period and is one of the oldest and most authentic bazaars in Albania. Here, you can find a variety of traditional Albanian handicrafts, including handwoven rugs, antiques, copperware, silver jewellery, wood-carved items, traditional clothing, and souvenirs. The bazaar is not only a place to shop, but also a cultural experience that reflects the rich heritage and craftsmanship of the region.
Berat
  • 2h
Berat is one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Albania, known as the "City of a Thousand Windows" due to its unique Ottoman-style architecture with rows of large windows on the hillside houses. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. The city is divided by the Osum River and features three main historic areas: Gorica, Mangalem, and Kalatë (the castle area). At the top of the hill stands Berat Castle, which is still inhabited and offers panoramic views. Inside the castle walls, you’ll find churches, mosques, and the Onufri Museum, famous for its collection of Byzantine icons. Berat is also known for its warm hospitality, traditional cuisine, and nearby wineries, making it a must-visit destination in Albania.
Belsh
  • 30m
Belsh is a small but picturesque town in central Albania, known for its stunning natural landscapes and over 80 lakes scattered throughout the area. Surrounded by rolling hills and fertile fields, Belsh has become an increasingly popular eco-tourism destination. Historically, during the communist era, there was a bold plan for Belsh to become the new capital of Albania due to its central location and agricultural potential. Although this plan was never realised, the idea remains a fascinating part of local history. Today, Belsh offers visitors tranquility, beautiful lake views, and a glimpse into rural Albanian life. It’s ideal for nature lovers, with walking trails, fresh local produce, and a peaceful atmosphere just a short
