Package holiday to Berat

Berat is Albania's most beautiful UNESCO World Heritage site — the city of a thousand windows, where white Ottoman houses with their countless windows amphitheatrically climb the hillside. This unique architecture, where the rows of windows look down on the city like eyes, has earned Berat its famous nickname.

The Kalaja Fortress on the hill above the city is one of the best-preserved castle fortifications in the Balkans — and unique because people still live within its walls. Small churches with Byzantine frescoes, the Onufri Museum featuring icons of the famous Albanian painter, and panoramic views make the ascent unforgettable.

The old town is divided into Mangalem (at the foot of the castle) and Gorica (on the opposite riverbank), connected by an Ottoman stone bridge. Both districts impress with their Ottoman architecture and narrow, cobbled streets. The Ethnographic Museum in a typical Ottoman house provides insight into traditional Albanian life.

From Tirana, you can reach Berat in about two hours — a perfect day trip or a stop on the way to southern Albania. Albania is one of the cheapest travel destinations in Europe, and Berat offers exceptional quality at surprisingly low prices.

Berat particularly impresses with fascinating culture. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
