1. In the morning we depart for Berat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Being more than 2400 year old, the town it is one of the most attractive towns in Albania. Established in the 3rd century B.C by an Illyrian tribe of central Albania with a protective castle, it was known as the fortified city of Antipatrea.

About Tirana

Tirana, a colorida e animada capital da Albânia, tem edifícios pintados, marcos otomanos e italianos, bunkers da Guerra Fria e cafés a cada esquina.

A Praça Skanderbeg, uma vasta praça aberta, é o coração da cidade, ladeada pela mesquita de Et'hem Bey com os seus delicados frescos, pela torre do Relógio e pelo Museu Histórico Nacional com o seu gigantesco mosaico da era socialista. Perto, a Pirâmide de Tirana é uma impressionante relíquia de betão das décadas comunistas.
