City Breaks in Tirana, Albania with Regent Holidays

Tirana City Breaks - Albania 2008

3 night city breaks in Tirana from £350 per person including flights.

One of Europe's last forgotten cities, little-known Tirana has undergone a renaissance. Blissfully overlooked by mass tourism, the vibrant Albanians are transforming their tiny capital with vision and energy. Once a bustling Ottoman settlement, then a drab communist backwater, today Tirana hums with vitality once more.

Preconceptions are defied at every turn. Pavement cafés, chic boutiques, family-run eateries, Turkish bazaars, well-stocked galleries and freshly restored mosques vie for the visitor's attention. Tirana's smart new hotels are infused with the Muslim tradition of hospitality, guaranteeing a warm reception. Long Mediterranean summers mean lazy, heat-hazed evenings spent sipping local wine and grazing on juicy olives.

Regent recommends...an afternoon drive to the coastal town of Durres to visit the largest Roman Amphitheatre in the Balkans. Excavations are on going and many of the finds are housed in the fascinating on-site museum.
