Day 2: Tirana – Kruja – Durres – Tirana.
After Breakfast the driver/guide will pick you up for the drive to Kruja a small town perched high on a hill close to Tirana. It was the centre of Albanian resistance against the Turks under our national hero Scanderbeg who kept them from crossing into Western Europe for 25 years, thus earning the title “Protector of Christianity” awarded by the pope. You will visit the Skanderbeg Museum, Ethnographic Museum and the Old Bazaar full of traditional souvenirs. Have a characteristic Albanian lunch in Kruja. After lunch, depart for Durres, one of the oldest Albanian cities established in 627 B.C. as a Greek colony named Epidamnus. Visit the Amphitheatre situated in a central living quarter and Archaeological Museum. In the afternoon return to Tirana, where you are left at leisure to experience more of the city’s nightlife and mingle with the locals. Overnight in Tirana.
