Our enchanting journey commences in Tirana. Halfway to Berati City, we'll encounter the tranquil town
of Belsh. Here, we'll pause for a brief coffee beside the largest of the towns 84 lakes, relishing our coffee
while taking in the breathtaking scenery. Finaly we arrive in Berat City, the city of 1001 windows.
Finally, we reach Berat City, famously known as the "City of a Thousand Windows."
1) Before entering the city center, we'll ascend the castle hill for a visit to the castle itself. On the
walking tour of the castle we will learn the history of this ancient city while visiting several sites like:
•Saint Mary of Blachernae Church, the oldest church in Berat
•Church of the Holy Trinity
•The Water Cisterns of the Castle
•The Red Mosque
•Constantine the Great Garden ...and much more.
Following this immersive experience, we'll enjoy a traditional Albanian lunch with a local family residing
within the castle, providing a deeper insight into Albanian culture.
2) After our castle visit, we'll descend to the city center, specifically the renowned Mangalemi
neighborhood. The exceptionally well-preserved architecture of the buildings in this area makes it feel
like a journey back in time to the Middle Ages. It's fascinating to note that people still inhabit these
Ottoman-era houses. Our walking tour of the city center will encompass significant landmarks such as:
•The city gate and former Pasha's residence
•The Sultan's Mosque
•Bachelors' Mosque
•The Hanging Bridge
•Berat's bustling boulevard, and more.
3) We will walk to the Gorica Brigde. One of the most beautiful and old bridges in Albania. It served as
the only connection between the two parts of the cities devided by Osumi river, Gorica neighberhood
and Mangalemi neigberhood. We will walk around the stone roads of Gorica neighberhood, just like
many people did hundreds of years ago.
As our tour draws to a close, we won't end it in Berat. Instead, we'll take an alternative route back to
Tirana, passing through Durres City, one of Albania's largest port cities. We will stop in the vast sandy
beach of Durres. Who is a sea enthusiasts can get into the water while we all wait for the sun to set
under the Adriatic sea....
