Full description

Kruja is a picturesque town situated high on a hillside, often referred to as the "Adriatic Sea’s Balcony" due to its impressive altitude of approximately 1,000 meters above sea level. Historically significant, Kruja served as the center of 15th-century Albanian resistance against the Ottomans, led by the national hero Gjerg Kastrioti, known as Skanderbeg. Visitors can explore the renowned Skanderbeg Museum, located within the beautifully restored castle, as well as the Ethnographical Museum, which offers insights into the region's rich cultural heritage. The approach to the castle features a traditional Turkish-style bazaar, where guests can enjoy a stroll and browse a wide selection of authentic antiques and souvenirs. The tour continues to Durres, where guests can visit the city center, the impressive amphitheater, and the historic Roman Baths located behind the Aleksander Moisiu Theatre on the central square. This itinerary provides a comprehensive experience of Albania’s historical and cultural landmarks.
