Itinerary

Enjoy a great mix of history and seaside vibes on a day trip to Durrës. Visit the Roman ruins, take a nice walk along the Vollga Promenade, and then spend the rest of your day relaxing at Golem Beach
Your day starts with a pickup by your tour guide, and then you’ll head towards Durrës. During the drive, your guide will share interesting facts and simple stories about Albania and the areas you pass.

After about 1 hour, you’ll arrive in Durrës and begin a relaxed walking tour to feel the vibe of the city and learn about its history. You’ll see some of the main highlights from the outside, like the amphitheatre, the Venetian Tower and the old castle walls, while your guide explains everything in an easy and fun way.

Then, you’ll have around 1 hour of free time at the Vollga Promenade. It’s the perfect moment to enjoy the sea view, grab a coffee, or shop for souvenirs.

After that, the tour continues to Golem Beach, the longest sandy beach in Albania. Here you’ll have 2.5 hours of free time to enjoy your day: have lunch, go for a swim, try fun activities, or simply relax by the sea with a drink.

From May to September, everything is open and lively. If you’re visiting outside this period, some places might be quieter or closed, so we appreciate your understanding.

After a relaxing and enjoyable day by the sea, we head back to Tirana with great memories
