Part 2/9:
Our decision to visit Durres was made back in February while we were in Vietnam, planning our travel itinerary for the summer. Europe can be expensive during this season, so we were thrilled to hear that Albania was emerging as a trendy, affordable destination. With our summer plans finalized, we opted for a two-city adventure, with Durres as one of our chosen spots, largely due to its proximity to the beach and ease of access from Tirana, Albania's capital.
