Description

Embark on a captivating day tour from Tirana to discover Albania’s ancient wonders and breathtaking coastline. Begin your adventure with a guided visit to Apollonia, where you’ll explore the impressive ruins of a once-flourishing Greco-Roman city, including its grand theater and the legendary Temple of Apollo surrounded by tranquil cypress trees.

Delve into Apollonia’s museum to admire fascinating artifacts like pottery, sculptures, and ancient inscriptions that reveal the site’s rich history. Savor authentic Albanian flavors during lunch at a local restaurant, where you can sample regional favorites such as tavë kosi or fresh seafood, offering a true taste of Albania’s culinary heritage.

Afterwards, journey to Bylis, perched majestically on a hilltop about 30 kilometers from Apollonia. Wander through the ancient citadel, marvel at the panoramic views, and walk the historic city walls. Don’t miss the charming Roman theater, which adds to the site’s timeless allure.

Your tour continues to the vibrant coastal city of Vlorë, famed for its beautiful beaches and pivotal role in Albanian history. Stroll along the scenic waterfront promenade, snap photos of iconic monuments, and immerse yourself in the spirit of Independence Square, where Albania’s independence was declared in 1912.

If time allows, relax at Plazhi i Vlorës or unwind with a drink at a seaside bar before enjoying a delicious dinner of fresh seafood or traditional Albanian dishes. This unforgettable journey concludes with a comfortable return to Tirana. Secure your spot now and experience the best of Albania’s history, culture, and coast in one remarkable day!
