Overview

Kick off your exciting day tour from either Tirana or Durres, where you’ll meet your friendly local guide before heading to the stunning Karavasta Lagoon. As the largest lagoon in Albania, it boasts an impressive population of Dalmatian pelican, making it a must-visit for birdwatching enthusiasts. Glide through the tranquil waters on a boat tour, soaking in the serene beauty and diverse birdlife.
Next, we’ll venture to the iconic Castle of Berat, where you can wander through narrow streets lined with traditional houses. Climb to the castle’s heights for breathtaking views of the historic town below, offering a perfect backdrop for unforgettable photos. You’ll have the opportunity to explore Mangalem neighborhood, stroll along the scenic Osumi River, and capture stunning shots of the picturesque Gorica Bridge. This authentic area is a key reason Berat is designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Enjoy some free time before we conclude and return to your hotel in the afternoon.
