Durres
Later we will continue to Durres. Durres city lies on the Adriatic coast and is the main commercial port of Albania. Durres, Albania's second largest city was known formerly as Durrahium and is one of the oldest cities of Mediterranean and Europe, mentioned in old books as the Taulantia (one of the biggest ancient Illyrian city-states). Legend says that it was founded by Epidamnos, the Illyrian King of the area, who called it by his own name and named the port area after his grandson, Dyrrah. It was for centuries the largest port on the Adriatic, and the start of the Via Egnatia to Constantinople/Istanbul. We will visit the Roman amphitheater (20,000 seats capacity, the largest one in the Balkans) and the Archaeological Museum, situated near the sea and rich in objects excavated in Durres. We also visit the Roman Baths behind the Aleksander Moisiu Theatre on the central square. In the evening we will onboard in the Ferry boat to Bari (Italy).
