Berat
After our castle visit, we'll descend to the city center, specifically the renowned Mangalemi neighborhood. The exceptionally well-preserved architecture of the buildings in this area makes it feel like a journey back in time to the Middle Ages. It's fascinating to note that people still inhabit these Ottoman-era houses. Our walking tour of the city center will encompass significant landmarks such as:
-The city gate and former Pasha's residence
-The Sultan's Mosque
-Bachelors' Mosque
-The Hanging Bridge
-Berat's bustling boulevard
-Gorica Bridge, and more.
We will walk to the Gorica Brigde. One of the most beautiful and old bridges in Albania. It served as the only connection between the two parts of the cities devided by Osumi river, Gorica neighberhood and Mangalemi neigberhood. We will walk around the stone roads of Gorica neighberhood, just like many people did hundreds of years ago.

Durres
As our tour draws to a close, we won't end it in Berat. Instead, we'll take an alternative route back to Tirana, passing through Durres City, one of Albania's largest port cities. We will stop in the vast sandy beach of Durres. Who is a sea enthusiasts can get into the water while we all wait for the sun to set under the Adriatic sea....
