Hi there! My name is Xhonatan,Im 26 years old and I come from one of Albania's most beautiful cities,Berat.I was born and grew up in Berat and currently live here. I love everything about this marvellous city,especially its rich and fascinating history. My father would tell stories and tales about its childhood and I as a kid,would only imagine what life was back in the communist days.I always knew he liked history very much,and somehow he planted the seeds which sprung years later when I majored in Archaeology, a passion that has its roots deep inside me. As of this year I'm also a licensed national tour guide eagerly waiting to show the world this gem that lies in the heart of the Mediterranean where nations and empires left their mark and shaped the world's history. A tour guide is an ambassador of his country and as such I invite you to discover Albania as never seen before!
Berat is a very unique city and that is why in this tour you will find the very highlights of it.
We meet at the entrance of the city's main boulevard,near the roundabout,in front of The Bachelors mosque and then we enter in the Mangalem neighborhood where we are going to see:
We keep walking until we reach Gorica bridge and visit:
After, we head for the Medieval center where we visit:
Then, the next destination is the castle. Taking a steep cobblestone path that leads us up in the hill,we find ourselves in front of a castle dating back to the IV century BC.
In the castle we visit:
Our walk ends at the medieval center.
Please note: This is a Cultural tour where we are going to talk about the historical and architectural values that this magnificent town has to offer aswell as customs,traditions,religion and much more! For people who have difficulties walking this tour is not recommended.
We meet in front of "The Bachelors mosque". Its easy to recognize me because I wear my badge at all times.
