We recommend 2-3 hours to properly explore the museum and the ruins, including the Roman theater, the early Christian basilica, and the Venetian citadel.

It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992, with 2,500 years of history. It was a Greek colony, a Roman city, a Byzantine bishopric, and a Venetian stronghold. More information at UNESCO.

Spring (April-June) and autumn (September-October) for mild temperatures. Avoid July-August because of the heat and crowds. Early hours are ideal.

The ground is uneven with dirt paths. It is not recommended for wheelchairs. Comfortable shoes are essential. The museum has level access.

Twenty minutes away are the beaches of Ksamil, the Blue Eye spring, and the coastal city of Sarandë with its seaside promenade. Tourist information: albania.al.
