Durrës Travel Guide

Durrës, situated 34 kilometers from Tirana, is home to Albania’s biggest harbor and is also one of the country’s most historic towns. The establishment of “the everlasting city” across the Adriatic dates back to 627 B.C.E., when the Corinthians and immigrants from the ancient Greek city of Corcyra, located on the island of Corfu, attacked the Illyrian realm of the Taulantii people. Due to its lengthy history, the city is naturally teeming with historical monuments and artifacts, including the famed amphitheater of Roman Emperor Hadrian, whose 15,000-seat capacity makes it the second largest amphitheater in the Balkans. Durrës is a fascinating location for art and history enthusiasts. Durrës is also ideal for people seeking a seaside vacation, beacause of its sandy beaches and plenty of restaurants with a breathtaking view of the Adriatic Sea.
