This is a lovely tour that shows one of the oldest towns in Albania. First, we will get back to antiquity by visiting Apollonia, a city that was found in the 7th century B.C., by Greek settlers from Corinth and Corcyra. In the first century B.C., Octavian Augustus studied philosophy there until he heard news of Caesar’s murder in the Senate and went on to become the next emperor. Berat castle it is the biggest inhabited castle in Albania. Our guide will show you the way how the Albanians live and how they have built the typical houses in central Albania. We will also visit the lower part of the town where we will see the Mangalemi neighborhood which gives the nickname of the "1000 Windows" city. Afterwards we will return from a different route which makes another highlight of this daytrip. The road is through the countryside and shows how the agriculture is developed in the central Albania.

Apollonia Archaeological Park
The famous Roman orator Cicero, astonished by the beauty of Apollonia named it in his Philippics, “magna urbs et gravis” - a great and important city. Established in the 7th century B.C., by Greek settlers from Corinth and Corcyra, the ancient city is located 11 km to the west of the city of Fier. Archaeological excavations have revealed that Apollonia achieved its zenith in the 4th - 3rd centuries B.C. In the first century B.C., Octavian Augustus studied philosophy there until he heard news of Caesar’s murder in the Senate and went on to become the next emperor. Visit the city and an Orthodox monastery turned into archaeological museum.
Berat Castle
The castle is the only one in Albania that still has houses and inhabitants within its walls, going about their daily life in exactly the same place their predecessors did centuries ago. Being more than 2400 year old Berat it is one of the most attractive towns in Albania. Established in the 3rd century B.C by an Illyrian tribe of central Albania with a protective castle, it was known as the fortified city of Antipatrea. In 1417 the town was occupied by the Turks who build quite a few mosques in the area below the town’s old castle.

On no account use this provider. I booked the above trip weeks ago and today we went to the hotel lobby to be picked up. However when I checked the Expedia we site I saw the trip had been cancelled yesterday. No one had the courtesy to contact me and let me know. Totally unprofessional. We were lucky to get a taxi to visit the site but this is orally unacceptable. I will contact the Tourism Authority to lodge a complaint. These people should not be in the tourist industry.

Viator said the trip was confirmed, only to find out the company it contracted with was no longer in business on the day of the tour. Very disappointing, since this ancient site was a main reason to visit this country.

Ilir is an excellent tour guide who not only knows all the history but with his work with the tourist board he also knows everyone you will meet on the tour. All the recommendations were excellent and we had a little extra time so got an extra stop rather than the tour being cut short. Overall very pleased with our experience.

This tour was remarkable. I feel honored to have been part of a tour with Ilir. He is so wise and knowledgeable. Thank you, Ilir. We learned SO much from you. We also fell in love with Albania, a country that is beautiful and flourishing. Thank you, again.
