About Durres
The Roman Amphitheatre anchors Durres, an Adriatic coastal city in Albania with layers of ancient history and a lively seaside promenade.
Two to five days suits a stay centered on the Beachfront Promenade, where the sea, restaurants and evening strolls are close at hand.
The Roman Amphitheatre and Durres Archaeological Museum trace the city’s ancient past, while the Venetian Tower and City Walls add medieval detail. Durres Beach brings swimming and broad coastal views, and fresh seafood, byrek and Tave Kosi suit the city’s relaxed, sociable character.
