Berat Castle Tour

As we step inside, we’ll explore the impressive Illyrian walls, some of the oldest in the region, and stroll through narrow cobblestone streets filled with history and charm. You’ll admire beautiful Byzantine churches decorated with stunning frescoes and visit the Acropolis, the highest point of the castle, where the ruins of early Ottoman mosques still tell their story.
