Full description

Begin your adventure in the early morning, departing for Kruja Castle, perched high with the spirit of Skanderbeg. As you ascend, you'll be greeted by the **Old Bazaar**, where the scent of handmade crafts fills the air, offering a taste of tradition with every step. Upon entering the castle grounds, the Skanderbeg Museum awaits, its halls echoing with tales of resistance and valor. Here, artifacts and exhibits bring to life the 15th-century battles against the Ottoman Empire. Wander through the castle ruins, where every stone has a story, and from the watchtower, soak in views that stretch to the horizon, a vista so stunning, it feels like peering into Eden itself. Next, journey to Lezha Castle, where history shifts to a melange of Illyrian, Roman, and Ottoman influences. As you explore, the castle's strategic hilltop location offers a serene backdrop of the Adriatic Sea. Lunch will be a delightful interlude, featuring local Albanian cuisine; think byrek, tavë kosi, and fresh seafood, all seasoned with olive oil and regional herbs, at a quaint eatery nearby. Your day winds down with a leisurely walk around Lezha's lower town, perhaps engaging with locals, or simply enjoying the Mediterranean breeze, reflecting on a day rich with history, culture, and the flavors of Albania.
