Berat full-day guided tour from Durres

Surrounded by mountains and situated nearly in the heart of Albania, Berat stands as one of the country’s most enchanting and recommended destinations. This Durres to Berat day trip offers a chance to uncover the timeless charm and rich history of a city preserved through the centuries. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008, Berat is celebrated as an outstanding example of a well-maintained Ottoman-style city. As you explore the iconic white houses stacked along the hillsides, you’ll understand why Berat is often referred to as the “town of a thousand windows” or “one above other windows,” with its unique architecture creating a visually stunning landscape. The tour includes a visit to the Gorica neighborhood and the historic Ottoman bridge, followed by an exploration of the magnificent Berat Castle, which once sheltered 42 churches—of which six still stand today. Inside the castle, you’ll also discover the ancient Orthodox Cathedral and the Onufri Museum, dedicated to the master iconographer whose vivid religious artworks continue to inspire visitors from around the world.
