Our one-day voyage to the intriguing nation of Albania is designed for explorers who crave something unique. Departing from the Port of Corfu, we travel along the Albanian coastline to the harbor city of Saranda. An optional guided coach journey covers 20 kilometers of the pristine southern coastline and its myriad islands. We wend our way through quaint villages and boundless verdant landscapes, culminating at a majestic lake. The tour’s pinnacle is a trip to Butrint, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Centuries had concealed this antique town under layers of sediment and plant life. In recent times, though, archaeologists have revealed some of the Mediterranean’s best-preserved city ruins. Landmarks such as the Venetian Tower at the entrance, the ancient theatre, the Temple of Asclepius, the age-old gymnasium, the Roman Baths, the Roman Baptistery displaying its invaluable mosaic flooring, the Lion Gate, and the vast Cyclopean walls will whisk you back through 2,500 years of history, up to the 3rd century A.D.
