It was an impulsive decision to take a 3km detour as we were driving from Dhermi to Durres, but what a brilliant one! Easy to get there, the entry costs 600Lek and it will take 1-3 hours depending on how you explore the place. Apart from the ruins, do not miss the beautifully kept museum that will amaze you with the exhibits from 6th century BC! Very highly recommended.

Well worth a visit. Some interesting artifacts and learning how recently the place was rediscovered is an eye opener. The indoor exhibits are what make this place, as the external stuff isn't anywhere as good as the one down south.

We stopped here because we saw the sign for it on the motorway from Vlorë to Durrës. It is an interesting stop if you have the time, the whole complex covers a large area but in the 38C heat we did not adventure too far from the main area. There is a decent bar/restaurant beside the museum. The entry is €6 but cash only. Also try have small denominations. We too the first exit signposted to a large but mainly empty car park, we then walked up a grassy hill, we realised at the top that there is a road directly to the gate with another car park. So do not take the first exit for it but drive on for another few kilometres to the second sign and that will bring you directly to the top car park.

We drove to this amazing archaeological park that was constructed 7th c BCE! The ruins are incredible, who would imagine Roman ruins in Albania and a lovely place to hike around this park. You can imagine Greeks and Romans visiting this area as the sea was at its edge back then. They came by boat. We spent about three hours walking around. Bring drinks and snacks if it is a hot season. This was late August and it was 33C. There are places to sit. Wear good shoes.
