1 Day tour to Cape of Rodon

The journey from Tirana takes approximately one hour drive. At your arrival your first sight will be the church of St. Anthony, a cultural monument built around 15 century in a Romanesque-Gothic architecture.

Later on together with your guide you will walk to the edge of the cape. Along the way you will have the chance to see impressive communist bunkers. Following the trail we will visit the Castle of Skanderbeg. The castle by the sea was built by Skanderbeg around 1450 – 1452, in order to create a quick exit to the Adriatic Sea in case of an Ottoman invasion. Life existed inside this castle until 1467, when the Turks destroyed it. Fortunately, the Venetians rebuilt it after 1500 and, since then, it has survived in a fairly good condition.

Afterward we walk back to the car and drive to lunch restaurant. The lunch will be in a local farm where you can taste delicious Albanian food.
