Nice little hike on the ridge to the bottom of the beach.. good views all around. Lots of bunkers to explore.. interesting history of Albania.. A church, sandy beach, castle and bunkers all in one place....must go. though the road is rough but easily doable with low speeds with any car.. Free parking on site No entry fee
This a very beutiful place. The castle is very nice and cool to explore even though it's pretty small. The placement on the beach is pretty cool and allows to have a good time with friends and family. Unfortunately the beach is not well taken care of and has lots of trash and it's really sad to see that such a beautiful place is not taken well care of.
This castle, also known as Skanderbeg’s Castle, is located in a strategic position and had great importance in its time. Today, however, it stands in the middle of an environmental disaster, surrounded by trash all around. You can park at the main parking area nearby, and then walk about 20 minutes to reach the castle. The path can be challenging at times, with some large steps, so wear good shoes and make sure to bring water, as there are no bars or shops in the area. The walk to the castle is scenic, but the castle itself doesn’t offer much to see.
