Descrição

Start from Tirana, hike to scenic Bovilla Lake, then explore the ancient city of Durrës on this full-day nature and history tour. Stunning views, culture, and coast all in one!
Escape the city and experience a journey that blends stunning nature with coastal heritage. This full-day tour starts with pickup from 4 main meeting points in Tirana, taking you to the breathtaking Bovilla Lake and ending with a relaxing visit to the historic coastal city of Durrës — Albania’s second-largest city and one of its oldest settlements.

Begin the day by heading toward the mountains north of Tirana, where Lake Bovilla sits hidden among dramatic cliffs and unspoiled landscapes. After a scenic drive, you’ll arrive at this crystal-clear reservoir, a favorite escape for locals seeking nature and tranquility. A short but rewarding hike to the panoramic viewpoint offers breathtaking views of Bovilla Canyon — the perfect photo stop.

Enjoy some peaceful time by the lake, take in the fresh air, or optionally grab a coffee or simple lunch at a rustic mountaintop cafe (not included in the price).

After this refreshing nature break, the journey continues west toward Durrës, Albania’s most prominent coastal city and a destination steeped in history. With its ancient Roman amphitheater, seaside promenade, and lively cafés, Durrës provides a charming contrast to the natural serenity of Bovilla.
On your guided walking tour of Durrës, you’ll explore highlights such as:
The 2nd-century Roman amphitheater, one of the largest in the Balkans
Venetian Tower and city walls
Byzantine Forum ruins
Optional seaside time or coffee break with Adriatic views
Whether you're a history lover, nature explorer, or simply want to experience two contrasting sides of Albania in one day, this tour offers a rich and balanced experience with convenient pickup and return in Tirana.
