Tirana - Kruja - Durrës - Elbasan
Tirana, the capital of Albania, is a bustling
European metropolis brimming with
culture and boundless energy. With its
museums, clubs, cafes and taverns, Tirana
is worth exploring by day or night. The
historic city of Kruja lies on a picturesque
mountain slope 32 km north of Tirana.
Situated 600m above sea level, the
city is one of the country’s most scenic
destinations. Abundant shopping and
cultural experiences are available here,
as well. Durrësi, the busiest seaport in
the country, is located just 34 km west
of Tirana. Inhabited for more than
2,500 years, it is probably the most
ancient city in Albania. Settlers from
Corinth and Corcyra settled here as early
as 627 B.C. Many relics remain from
previous civilizations and further enhance
the rich history of this city.
