Butrint

Butrint is the most important archaeological site in Albania and one of the reasons many travelers come to this part of the country. Within the national park lie the remains of a Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Venetian city surrounded by a lagoon and Mediterranean vegetation. A walk through the site takes you past an ancient theater, city walls, a basilica, and a fortress, while the natural surroundings give this place a completely different atmosphere from classic archaeological sites.
