Private Full Day Tour of Berat and Durres from Tirana
Berat weaves its own very special magic and is easily a highlight of visiting Albania. Its most striking feature is the collection of white houses climbing up the hill to its castle, earning it the title of "town of a thousand windows". It’s been a UNESCO world heritage site since 2008. Berat has a wide Mediterranean cuisine. The tour is unique in all aspects such as - history, geography, culture, food and hospitality. I was born and raised in Berat, so I am proud to guide you to my beloved city.
