Uncovering the Coastal Charm of Durrës

#holidayitinerary Exploring Durrës is a great mix of beachside relaxation and fascinating history. The long sandy beaches are the first thing that catch your eye, perfect for a swim, a stroll, or just lounging under the sun. The promenade along the coast is lively, filled with cafés, restaurants, and ice cream shops where you can sit back and enjoy the sea breeze. Beyond the coastline, the town has plenty of history to uncover, like the ancient Roman amphitheater which is surprisingly well preserved and gives a real sense of the city’s past.

I also enjoyed wandering through the local streets where modern life blends with old ruins and colorful buildings. The food scene is another highlight, with fresh seafood and traditional Albanian dishes served generously. Durrës has a warm and welcoming vibe that makes it easy to feel at home, whether you come for culture, the beach, or both together.
