I wanted to write about Berat because I thought it was an amazing place. It is old…I think the oldest place I have ever been with the first known habitation being in the 6th Century BC. “Modern” Berat started in about 314 BC so it is only about 2400 years old. As I thought about what to write I realized that really I don’t have the words to explain Berat so instead, I will share it with you through pictures. I hope you enjoy.
My favorite dinner was at Antigoni. The food was terrific but I think like the views better. Watching the sunset and the city change was fantastic. Oh, and the tomatoes in Albania are delicious! The main course was Berat Spitzel, cheese wrapped with meat and then fried…I don’t think it was good for me but it sure was yummy.
The castle sits on the top of the big hill. After walking & walking & walking I got to the top and took some photos of the area.
One of my favorite days was going to Osumi Canyon and Bogova Waterfalls. We got to swim in both places which were amazing. The guide said the water at the waterfalls was 8 Celsius…I don’t know if that is true but it was cold. Swimming in the amazing canyon was much warmer.
