Overview

This isn't just a sightseeing trip—it's a deep dive into Albania's living history and coastal beauty, guided by locals who bring every location to life.

We then take you to a hidden gem—King Zog’s Royal Villa, perched above the city.
Next, we slow the pace with a scenic walk along the Vollga Promenade, where sea breeze meets everyday life. Relax at a seaside café, enjoy traditional snacks, and feel the pulse of Albanian coastal culture in motion.

What To Expect

Royal Villa of Durres

We’ll then ascend to the Royal Villa of King Zog I, perched on a hilltop overlooking the city and the sea. Although the villa itself is not open to the public, the surrounding area is an ideal panoramic viewpoint where history and scenery meet. Originally built in the 1930s for Albania’s only monarch, this residence offers more than just royal architecture—it tells a story of Albania’s interwar era, political shifts, and European influence.Our guide will bring the royal past to life, explaining the symbolic importance of the villa and the dramatic events that took place during Albania’s 20th-century transformation. Take a few peaceful moments here to breathe in the sea air and enjoy a stunning view stretching over Durrës and the Adriatic horizon.
