One of the most pleasant ways to visit Albania is from Corfu. The scenery is dramatic as you approach a country once off limits for a half a century. Think of the visitors to Corfu who for years could only gaze at the distant mountains and wonder what lay "over there." Visitors to Corfu can now have an opportunity to actually see what is in Albania and enjoy the beauty of the unspoiled coast. Visit Albania's most important archeological site, Butrint. According to legend, the city was founded by ancient Trojans who fled Troy when it was destroyed by the Greeks. After your visit, sample the fresh seafood of Saranda and enjoy the beaches on the pristine Ionian Sea

Please note: Kutrubes Travel can arrange for hotels packages in Corfu and the round trip ferry tickets to Albania for your convenience. We can also arrange all other types of programs in Greece.

Day Tour

Arrival Saranda from Corfu at approximately 12:00 PM. You will be met by your English speaking guide and driven south on the scenic road to the archeological site of ancient Butrint dating back 2500 years.

In the ruins itself, visit an Amphitheatre from the 3rd century and the temple of Aesculapius. The Baptistery from the 6th century has colorful mosaics and is one of the largest baptisteries east of the Adriatic.

Bustint's ancient acropolis is on the top of the hill overlooking the entire site and affords an impressive view of the area. The old fortress houses the new small archaeological museum which contains recent finds from the site. Butrint is truly one of the last unspoiled natural and ancient historical areas in the Mediterranean.

Return to Saranda for a fresh seafood lunch in the city near a good beach.

Later in the afternoon return to Corfu via ferry.
