Journey to Albania, explore Butrint, Gjirokaster --OAT: "Inhabited since prehistoric times, Butrint was the site of a Greek colony, a Roman City, and a bishopric of the Byzantine Empire. Following a period of prosperity under the Byzantines, then a brief occupation by the Venetians, the city was abandoned in the late Middle Ages after marshes formed in the area."
The only tour stop we made was at the Roman ruins of Butrint. A little over an hour later, we checked into our hotel in Gjirokaster… which we would explore the next day. Quick Photo Links: Roman Ruins of Butrint |
