We explore authentic Cold War-era tunnels and bunkers built during the regime's paranoia of invasion. Led by our expert guide, you'll hear real, chilling stories of life under communism – including surveillance, forced labor, and the massive bunkerization project that dotted Albania with over 173,000 structures.

We continue to the historic Monastery of the 40 Saints, admiring its Byzantine architecture and scenic location. The guide explains how the communist regime, after declaring Albania the world's first atheist state in 1967, repurposed this sacred site as a military base, destroying or closing religious buildings nationwide.

We visit Saranda's prominent Great Mosque, where you'll admire its elegant Ottoman-influenced architecture and learn about its key elements: the mihrab (niche indicating the direction of Mecca), the minbar (pulpit for sermons), the ablution area (abdeshane), and the graceful minaret. The guide will discuss the revival of religion after the fall of communism in 1991, sharing powerful real-life stories of how believers secretly practiced their faith during the regime – hidden prayers, underground gatherings, and the immense risks involved under severe persecution.
