The trip starts at the bus stop in Durres. Around 07:30 the group meets with the guide; during this time the guide makes a short description of itinerary. At 8:00, we leave for the historical city of Berat. After half an hour, we have a short stop at "Joti" Complex.

At about 10:00 we arrive in the city of Berat. Berat is an ancient city. It is saud since the VII century. Visiting Berat is a pleasure because you see in the same time natural beauties such as the Osumi River and the cultural assets that have become part of UNESCO. For the city called “one over one windows”, we must know that it is also announced museum as it has a variety of cultural objects of the first and second category.

After the wonderful sight of Berat we will have the opportunity to visit the Fortress of Berat. It has a typical triangular shape and 24 towers belonging to various construction phases. We have the chance to see ruins of churches and mosques built during the invasion of the invaders. Berat Castle has four gates, one of which is also called "Mihal Komnen's Gate" because of the Epirus despot.

Gorica Bridge is another part that boasts the city of Berat since the 1780s when Ahmet Kurt Pasha built it. In 1922 it was reconstructed. Its magnificent designs are the first thing to look out for constructed so skillfully by the craftsmen of that time. If we wish we can consume lunch on one of the restaurants in the area.

After that we will see the Muzeun Onufri one of the most outstanding museums because of the icons fund in it. The point for these icons is the fact that some of them have been worked by anonymous iconographers but this does not diminish the value they have. Also in the museum are exposed metal and textile objects that reinforce the message that accompany the icons.

While maintaining deep in our memory, images that gave us our journey on Berat, return on Durres with photo albums that we have made during our visit to the historical city.
