Durres is the most popular beach destination in Albania. The 10-kilometer-long stretch of beach combined with very affordable prices attract tourists from all around the world since early April to late October.
The city of Durres is located on the coast of the Adriatic Sea and is the most popular beach destination in Albania. A 10-kilometer stretch of beach combined with affordable prices attracts tourists to the city’s waterfront from early spring to the end of September. The sea temperature is sufficient for a Central European even in October.
The city’s rich history dates back to 627 BC, when it belonged to ancient Illyria. The Roman amphitheater in the center of the city is still a reminder of the cultural heritage.
I find it interesting that the influence of the recent communist era can still be observed in Albania. Sometimes unrepaired roads and such a mess along the roads. However, the city of Durres and the whole of Albania is changing before our eyes. However, the architecture of the city center is different. It’s a reflection of a growing economy with trendy Italian-style cafes and restaurants. After all, Italy had and still has a great influence on Albania in a good way.
Unfortunately, Albanian is not similar to any European language, but there is no need to worry. Albanians always speak at least two other languages. Almost everyone speaks Italian and English almost everywhere. More far from bigger cities, knowledge of foreign languages dropping down.
Let’s go back to the city. There are apartment buildings and hotels along the coast. The beaches, which are cleaned daily, are currently undergoing a major renovation. The southern part of the promenade has already been completely repaired, including benches, toilets, beach showers and other urban furniture.
As I wrote in the text above, changes are faster than I have expected before. The older part of beaches from port direction south is renovated this year. New street lights, palms and pavement with part for cycling and running were built.
