Durrës Beach

Picked up the rental car and headed for the coast. Driving in Albania is... challenging. The roads could use a bit of TLC and you're constantly dodging motorbikes, people, tractors, carts, dogs, and cows. So didn't get to see much scenery along the way, but Nicky said there wasn't much to see anyway.

But we eventually arrived at our accommodation just south of Durres, which has a brilliant view of the beach and ocean. The host was terrific and spent a half hour recommending places to see and things to do. We aren't actually in Durrës but a bit further south along the beach

Afterwards we went for a walk along the esplanade, which was not very busy. Many places are closed in the off season and lots of maintenance activities being undertaken in preparation for the coming summer months.

Eventually settled in for a very nice Italian seafood meal before walking back to the unit in time for a lovely sunset.Baca selengkapnya
