SARANDA, ALBANIA

This quintessential coastal city beams under the rays of an endless sun and its reflection from its crystal-clear turquoise waters.

Located on the Ionian coast, the city has many of its own wonderful beaches but can serve as a great spot from where to go off exploring the rest of the beautiful Albanian Riviera.

With great restaurants and a vibrant nightlife, Saranda’s spirit instills a joie de vivre in each visitor.

Only a few kilometers away, stands the ancient city of Butrint, one of the most well-preserved in the Balkans and one of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites. Within the National Park of Butrint, you will find the ruins of the Ilyrians (Albanians Today) and Roman past, including a functional open theater.

The nearby islands of Ksamil are a top destination in many international travel list while Albania’s own tropical paradise, the Blue Eye, rests halfway between Saranda and Gjirokastra.

KRUJA, ALBANIA

Kruja ( means water spring) is one of the most historic cities in Albania because in the 15th century for 25 years, Gjergj Kastrioti "Skanderbeg", Albanian national hero, managed to stop the Ottomans from invading Europe.

Who is Skanderbeg?

His real name is Gjergj Kastrioti. He was born on May 6, 1405 in Diber, Albania and when he was a little boy he was forcibly taken from the Ottoman Empire and sent to Turkey for war training. At that time the Ottoman Empire gathered boys from different countries of the world in order to prepare them for war.

The title Skanderbeg "Alexander the Great" was given to him by Sultan Murat II, after the victories of the battles in Asia.

He decided to leave Turkey and along with 300 other Albanians returned to Albania and united all Albanians against the Ottomans to defend the religion which was Catholic at the time and to stop the Turkish army towards Europe.

He fought 30 battles with the Turks and lost 0.

Over 600 books have been published on his story. Vivaldi wrote the opera Skanderbeg and today the monument of Skanderbeg is in 12 countries around the world.

Today, a movie, in honor of Skanderbeg is being produced in Hollywood.

Kruja has a castle which was the center of the war in the Ottoman period and at its entrance is the old bazaar, which is the best place in Albania to buy souvenirs.

Inside the Castle is the "Skenderbeg Museum" built in the time of the Communism.

Kruja, I believe has the strangest dessert in the world, a dessert made with meat.

If you want more information about the dessert, you should come to Albania.

Welcome to Albania.

WHAT'S LIKE TO TRAVEL IN ALBANIA?

ELBASAN, ALBANIA: THE SUMMER DAY TOWN. Elbasan, the third-largest city in Albania with a population of around 128.000 inhabitants, is located around 40 km southeast of Tirana. Located in central Albania, this city is thought to date back to the 2nd century BC, when it was an ancient Illyrian settlement. In the 2nd century, Elbasan was known by the name of Skampius. Few interesting historical attractions that you shouldn’t miss out on during your visit to Elbasan. ELBASAN CASTLE In the 15th century, Elbasan was conquered by Sultan Mehmet II and its name was changed from Skampa to Elbasan by its Ottoman invaders, because in the Turkish language, ELI-BASAM means “I place my hand”, and this territory was one of the first regions attacked by them. With the arrival of Mehmet II, Elbasan turned to a military center, that was often used by the Ottomans to attack the stronghold of Kruja. After experiencing a defeat in Kruja, Sultan Mehmet II decided to rebuild the older Roman castle, at the entrance of which, to this day, you can find a plaque with the Turkish inscription: “I place my hand here, I the Sultan, son of a Sultan, triumphant Sultan, Mehmet, King of Kings.” 150 thousand workers worked to build the castle and its construction lasted 3 weeks. In the walls of the Castle of Elbasan, close to the southern gate you can find the Clock Tower, which rises to around a 30-meter height, three stories and since 1963 it has been designated a monument of culture. These kinds of architectural structures have been a characteristic of our cities, since the 16th century, especially in urban centers like Shkodra, Berat, Kruja as well as Prishtina and Prizren. THE VIA EGNATIA ROAD Via Egnatia or the Egnatia Road, is an infrastructural monument built by the Romans, starting from the mid-2nd century BC, which has served as a communication bridge between the east and the west, Europe and Asia, from the Adriatic Sea to the northern Aegean Sea.
