Durrës – a lively coastal city near Tirana
Durrës is one of the oldest cities in Albania and is located on the Adriatic coast, just 30 kilometers from the capital Tirana. Thanks to its location, it is an ideal choice for those who want to have the sea within reach, but at the same time be close to the metropolis, the airport and all the infrastructure.
The city offers long beaches, a wide coastal promenade full of restaurants, cafes and shops, as well as a major port with ferry connections to Italy. History is present at every step in Durrës – the dominant feature is one of the largest Roman amphitheaters in the Balkans, as well as ancient walls and an archaeological museum.
