Itinerary
Kick off your exciting day tour from either Tirana or Durres, where you’ll meet your friendly local guide before heading to the stunning Karavasta Lagoon. As the largest lagoon in Albania, it boasts an impressive 5% of the world’s population of the endangered Dalmatian pelican, making it a must-visit for birdwatching enthusiasts. Glide through the tranquil waters on a boat tour, soaking in the serene beauty and diverse birdlife that calls this unique ecosystem home. Afterward, take a leisurely stroll along the picturesque Adriatic coast, keeping an eye out for seasonal migratory birds visiting the national park.
Next, we’ll venture to the iconic Castle of Berat, where you can wander through charming narrow streets lined with traditional houses. Climb to the castle’s heights for breathtaking views of the historic town below, offering a perfect backdrop for unforgettable photos. After savoring a delicious traditional lunch within the castle walls, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the vibrant Mangalem neighborhood, stroll along the scenic Osumi River, and capture stunning shots of the picturesque Gorica Bridge. This authentic area is a key reason Berat is designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.
