UNESCO archaeological site 18 km south of Saranda, one of the best-preserved ancient cities in Albania. With roots in the 4th century BC, it was used over the centuries by Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and Venetians. The most impressive remains include the city amphitheater, Hellenistic gate, Roman baths, Byzantine basilica, and Venetian tower. It is located in a national park that encompasses both the coast and a lagoon — combine your visit with swimming in Ksamil. The easiest way to get there is by car in 25 minutes or by bus from the center of Saranda.
