Visit Durrës: Culture, Scenery, and Food Under $30

Durrës is an Oceanside town not far from the capital of Tirana is kind of a nice town to walk around in and definitely more interesting as a Oceanside city and a port to travel to Italy. This is not necessarily an expensive city. I was staying in a nice small apartment for US$25 a night near the bus station.

This is a nice motivation in the bar to get people to chat
Black Friday is also a thing in Albania surprisingly
Church of Apostle Paul and Saint Asti
I didn’t realize I was so close to Hawaii
The Venetian tower near the port
This very tropical appearance can be a little misleading since it was a little bit cold
This is the old Roman wall and defense fortification
This looks very much like a nice Oceanside city and is very touristy but not too busy

They seem to be getting ready to do an EU license plate. Notice the country name on the left and then on the right the EU symbol would fit and both are in blue which is the EU standard

In the discount store a year round Christmas decoration area which is about 1/3 of the store

The old Roman fortification
Obviously a memorial to the protectors of Albanian independence
I was trying to take a video of this guy but he wanted his money first

A music store. Look at the instruments hanging in the window
This was curtained off but I saw through the openings it was not all that interesting.

More ruins
The small personal pizza was €3
There are many apartments in the cities undergoing renovations probably to rent out to touristS since there are so few hotels
