• Day 4 - Berat

    June 19 in Albania ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Long drive to the UNESCO site of Berat. Had a walk around the castle which is a wall really on a hill with a village inside . Interesting churches . Learnt about the history of Albania which really comprises through the centuries of them being regularly invaded by the Italians , Slavs, Greeks and Turks. Followed by a strong liaison with Russia .
    Then on to the Pupa winery, 3 wines and raki ! Lovely lunch . Then back to Berat to see the old town , it’s known as the City of a thousand windows. Also went in an old mosque . Very hot day !
