Durrës: Bogova Waterfall & Berat Hidden Quarters Day Tour

Discover the beauty of Bogova Waterfall and the hidden quarters of Berat on a day trip from Durrës. Explore the UNESCO-listed Mangalem and Gorica quarters and visit Berat Castle.
Begin your adventure with a pickup from your hotel in Durrës. Travel through Albania’s countryside toward the Tomorr Mountains. Enjoy scenic views of rolling hills, forests, and rivers while your guide shares stories about local legends and hidden gems.

Arrive at Bogova Waterfall, one of Albania’s most beautiful and secluded natural spots. Take a short hike to the waterfall through lush greenery. Swim or relax in the natural pool (seasonal), take stunning photos in a pristine alpine setting, and listen to the sounds of nature far from the crowds.

Next, travel toward Berat, enjoying panoramic views of the Osum River valley and the surrounding mountains. Explore the Mangalem and Gorica neighborhoods, Berat’s iconic UNESCO World Heritage districts, famous for their Ottoman-era architecture and “thousand windows” facades.

Walk across the stone bridge of Gorica, stroll along cobblestone streets and hidden alleys, and make photo stops with panoramic city views. Discover small artisan shops, local cafés, and historic houses.

Visit Berat Castle, a living fortress perched above the city, still inhabited by locals. Explore ancient walls, churches, and lesser-known corners. Admire the castle walls and panoramic views, Byzantine churches and frescoes, and quiet alleyways off the main tourist path.

Enjoy a traditional Albanian lunch at a local restaurant or café, tasting regional dishes made from fresh, local ingredients. Finally, relax on the drive back to Durrës, reflecting on a day of natural beauty, culture, and history.
