• Apollonia Archaeological Park - Located near Fier, Apollonia Archaeological Park is one of Albania’s most remarkable ancient sites. Established by Greek settlers in the 6th century BC, it later thrived under Roman influence. Visitors start at the monumental center, exploring atmospheric ruins, standing columns, and the iconic façade of the Bouleuterion (Monument of Agonothetes), which overlooks the former agora. Scattered across the hill are remnants of the amphitheater, library, stoas, city walls, and residential areas, allowing one to imagine Apollonia as a vibrant Adriatic trade center.

At the park’s core is the medieval Monastery of St. Mary, where the church, refectory, and cloisters now host the Archaeological Museum of Apollonia. This museum is filled with statues, inscriptions, coins, and everyday items spanning over a millennium. The monastery chapel retains fragments of frescoes, offering a serene contrast to the open-air ruins, making Apollonia a perfect fusion of archaeology and landscape.

• Parku Kombetar Divjake-Karavasta - Divjakë-Karavasta National Park is one of Albania’s premier nature retreats, ideal for a day trip from Tirana, Durrës, or Berat. The highlight is the 35–36 m Kulla 360° observation tower, providing stunning 360-degree views over Karavasta Lagoon, pine forests, wetlands, dunes, and the Adriatic coastline—perfect for photography and birdwatching.

Start at the modern Visitor and Nature Museum, where interactive exhibits display local flora, fauna, and the renowned Dalmatian pelican that nests in the lagoon. Then, follow wooden walkways through fragrant pine woods to birdwatching spots, sandy Divjakë Beach, and the lagoon shore, where optional boat rides reveal channels, islets, and abundant wildlife.

After your exploration, unwind at a traditional fish restaurant in Divjakë or near the lagoon, savoring freshly caught seafood, grilled fish, and local specialties in a relaxed coastal atmosphere. A visit to Divjakë-Karavasta combines nature, scenic views, and gastronomy into one unforgettable Albanian adventure.
