Lagoon of Karavasta & Durrës City Day Tour

Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your accommodation in Tirana, Durrës, or Golem, and set off on a scenic drive through the beautiful Albanian countryside toward one of the most spectacular natural destinations in the entire Balkans — the Divjaka-Karavasta National Park and its magnificent lagoon.

Your first stop is the iconic 360° observation tower — Kulla 360 — where you will climb to the top for breathtaking panoramic views over the lagoon, wetlands, and the surrounding landscapes. A perfect moment for photography enthusiasts and nature lovers alike, offering a perspective of the Albanian coastline that few travelers ever get to experience.

Next, make your way to the sandy beach area within the National Park for a leisurely stroll, a breath of fresh sea air, and some peaceful time surrounded by unspoiled nature. Then board a boat for a guided 30-minute cruise across the iconic Karavasta Lagoon — one of the largest and most ecologically important wetlands in the Balkans and home to rare and endangered bird species including the magnificent Dalmatian pelican. Keep your binoculars close for this one.

The afternoon brings you to the ancient city of Durrës — the historic Roman city of Dyrrachium — where you will explore remarkable works of art and architecture from Roman times, including the famous Amphitheatre, the Venetian Tower, and the ancient Walls of the City. And keep your eyes open for a special SURPRISE LOCATION prepared just for you. Please wear comfortable shoes and clothing suitable for walking and outdoor activities, bring a hat, sunscreen, water, a camera, binoculars for birdwatching, and beachwear for a swim in the Adriatic. The tour is not suitable for babies under 1 year or persons over 95 years of age.
