Albanian riviera - exotic destination

Went to Albania a week ago. From Corfu airport to the port of Corfu, a short travel by taxi. Fast boat to Albanian riviera (it takes 30 minutes). After arriving in Saranda, a quick and easy check in, a complementary drink and we are good to go and explore . Butrint national Park was amazing. The Romans then the Greeks. The lake makes it magic. The guide is so good, that we did not want to leave. #summervacation #albania #exoticplaces

#tripaway Butrint is strategically located in the eastern part of the Strait of Corfu in the extreme south of the country. It sprawls across a peninsula that is surrounded by Lake Butrint and Vivari Channel. The channel connects the lake to the Ionian Sea through a narrow sandy bar. Located in the direct proximity to the sea, the park experiences mild mediterranean climate. This means that the winters are mild and the summers are hot and dry. The archaeological heritage of Butrint is one of the most important archaeological sites in the country, containing different artefacts and structures, dating from the Iron Age up to the Middle Ages. Numerous monuments are still extant including the city walls, a late-antique baptistery, a great basilica, Roman theater and two castles. The ancient city is situated within a natural woodland with a complex ecosystems which depends on the nearby lake and channel.
