Krujë Castle



Embark on a full-day guided tour of Lake Bovilla and Gamti Mountain from Durres. Begin your journey with a hotel pickup, setting off towards Bovilla Lake. After a 1-hour drive, arrive at Bovilla Lake and Gamti Mountain.

After spending three hours in the lap of nature, continue your journey to Kruja Castle, home to the Skanderbeg Museum. Learn how this fortress stood as the heart of the Albanian resistance against the Ottomans, under the leadership of national hero Skanderbeg in the 15th century.

Marvel at replicas of Skanderbeg's helmet and sword in the main hall, as well as the banners and insignias of influential families who supported the heroic cause, all while your guide regales you with tales of the past.

Following this enriching historical exploration, venture into the vibrant ambiance of the Old Bazaar to peruse contemporary arts and crafts, perhaps snagging some intricate local souvenirs.
