The place is amazing, full of history, and it has a very unique charm. The only thing I missed was a little shop or a refreshment stand… The area is quite large, so I would have appreciated some place to buy water or a small snack😊

We visited Butrint National Park and were truly impressed – it’s a beautiful and enchanting place full of history. However, I left with the feeling that more investment is needed in the park. There’s still so much to be discovered, with some monuments partially buried or even underwater. It’s a site with huge potential that deserves more preservation and attention. I also think guided tours inside the park would be a great addition – I would happily pay to learn more about its rich and fascinating history!

I was hesitant to visit because of the summer heat, but the park is surprisingly shaded, and there's a lovely breeze from the water that keeps things comfortable. The archaeological site is fascinating, with explanations at each part of the monument to guide you through. It takes about an hour to walk around, and while some paths are a bit steep, it’s manageable, just be sure to wear good shoes. The views are stunning, especially from the acropolis. Don’t miss the walk up, it gives you a breathtaking view of the entire site.

Well worth the visit. The ancient city has a ton of history from greek, roman, ottoman and venetian times. Mix of ancient ruins and more recent castles. Unfortunately no turtles there in early October

Very interesting peninsula with many ruins of Ancient Greek, Roman and Medieval structures, highlighting the historic meaning of Butrint. The visit takes about 2-3 hours and despite the heat, it was still manageable thanks to the abundance of shade. Highly recommended to visit when you are in the south of Albania

Lovely place to walk and visit with a lot of history! As you spend some time here, would have been nice to be able to get a drink or a snack but there was no place to get at least a bottle of water. Make sure you bring something to drink or snack with you.

Fascinating place if you like history. I walked here one morning (slightly accidental as I was only supposed to stroll to the bay near my hotel but missed my turn). Spent a couple of hours wandering around the old ruins. It’s lot bigger than I expected and well worth the 1000 lek/10€. Traffic was gridlocked at the entrance / little ferry when I left though. Pleased I walked it despite the heat. It’s worth parking at the top in car park over looking the bay and walking the last bit

We only spent a few hours in Durrës on our way back to the airport unfortunately, but what we seen of it was so pretty and has a very chilled vibe about it. Some absolutely delightful buildings and people.

Great ancient place! Still Albania but we almost in Greece

Venetian Tower build by Venetians at meedle age to watch and protect their possessment in Butrint and Corfu area show the typical venetian building style which stil resist in the Butrint arceological sites and can be visited as part of National Butrint Park which include, ancient amphitheatre, the museum and all remained artifacts of this meedle age structure.

Venetian tower is located at the entrance of the ancient city. Recently restored, it proudly stands over ancient remains.

Beautiful place

Nice tower!

I love it.

It was a genuine pleasure to spend time with you, my friend!! A beautiful boatride to a stunning little beach and an impressive castle. We especially enjoyed having a guide with such a wide ranging knowledge about the history and nature of his homeland! Thank you!

The behavior of the captain was really friendly. Thank you

Very interesting place amazing view

❤️

The car park for Butrint National Park was full so we were told we needed to take the ferry to park on the other side. The guy was efficient and clear in his communication. A bit overpriced at €7 for a car but it was necessary at the time. We could also jump back on to go back without the car for free. Then when we left at the end of the day, we were able to drive around on the other side so we didn’t have to pay for the ferry again. It only took 5 minutes more.

Very basic raft with no safety whatsoever that can get you across. Price for the car is 7 €. You can get across fast or with waiting depending on the traffic. Don't excange currency here, they'll rip you off.

It’s great that there’s a ferry here, but the price is a bit steep – €7 for just a 50m crossing. But, what can you do? If you don’t want to pay, you can always drive around. I paid because I didn’t want to waste time.

It's not clear what do you need to do. Apparently tho there is someone that will give instructions to get on the ferry. Getting on it is a bit scary as it doesn't get even with the concrete on the side. Once you get on it, there is no bumper in front and it's crap feeling seeing only the water in front and not much clue how much more you can go.

Is it overpriced? Yes. Is it still a fun experience and saves you 30 minutes of driving around? Yes! We paid €7 (they accept euro and lek) for the short ride and waited in line for less than 10 minutes. The ferry (a large wooden plank) holds about 4-5 cars depending on the sizes. There is a small shop selling Turkish coffee while you wait.

Not free. 200 per person round trip 700 per car rount trip Locals seem to be free

The ferry for crossing the river is very basic and outdated. I took my motorcycle to the other side, and the cost was 4 euros.

Really cool free castle to explore. Take the ferry across the river for 200 per person or take your car for 700 round trip.

Another castle to add up to your visit of Butrint.Accessible by boat or ferry. The Venetian Triangular Castle (Albanian: Kalaja Trekëndore Venedikase) is a castle near Butrint. The castle is located by the Channel of Vivari and by the nearby Butrint National Park. In 1572 when the wars between Venice and the Ottomans had been occurring this left Butrint and its acropolis was abandoned. This led to the creation of The Castle which was built in the 15th century by the Venetians. The castle was created to defend the fishing traps which was a very important source of food and income for the nearby settlement. The castle became seized by the Ottomans once in 1655 and 1718 after then being recaptured by the Venetians.

We visited in August and there was no trash despite what other reviews say. Not sure if anyone maintains the castle but it is in good enough shape and completely free to visit. If you’re in the area, it’s worth a quick stop to look inside and see a view from the top.

Venetian triangle castle is a fortified fortress used for military purposes. It is shaped in a form of a triangle; hence the name. The entry is free. It is not guarded or maintained. One would need to cross the river on a barge which is in itself an interesting experience. The museum is free yet the barge is 150 local currency two way per person. If in the area, it may be interesting to see. Anticipate to spend 10-15 minutes to climb all the walls and walk around.

Small 14th century Fort or Castle situated across the Channel from the main site of Butrint. Interesting little castle. If coming from Butrint, you can reach it via a small ferry. Pity I didn't have time to go across Free entry

Atmospheric Venetian castle built in 14 century. Entrance is free.

A small castle on a small sea you must pay one or tow euro to come to this castle with the ferry. When I was there I pay no entrnce . Is nothing special but when you are in butrinit it looks nice to go there

We went there as a day trip from Corfu and our tour guide was very informative. Lots of history to take in as well as all the scenic views also get to see loads of turtles. Definitely take a drink around with you as it does get very hot walking around but overall a very good experience and day out.

As expected from a UNESCO heritage site, plenty to see and find out, tours are available and tickets are reasonable. You could easily spend 3-5 hours here just wondering around and imagining how the spaces were used.

Be avera of Snakes. There are plenty of them and sometimes they can come out of bushes but It is a nice place to visit. Part of Unesco. Entry cost €10/person or 1,000 Lek local currency. Has parking space.

Amazing archaeological location. Our guide was really knowledgeable and told us about the interesting history of this place. Romans, Greeks, Byzantiums and Ventians all made their mark. Great view from the top of the hill, note steps up and down can be steep and uneven and there is no hand rail in parts, have included a couple of photos of the steps. Scenic views all round. Definitely recommend visiting.

Fantastic archeological site. Certainly not as well maintained and presented as major sites in the EU, but the history and the scale of this site is amazing. Someday this will rival Pompeii as an archeological "must see".

Visited in October 🍂. There’s an entry fee, and parking is generally available 🚗, though it can depend on the season . The site has fascinating ruins from the Greek 🇬🇷 and Venetian 🇮🇹 periods, including an impressive ancient theater 🎭. Worth a visit if you enjoy history 📜 and archaeology 🏺.

A great place where nature meets with history. You should definitely see this place. Tourists are charged with 500 Lek at the entrance.

It is well-kept, has beautiful views, and is a must-visit museum. There are interesting exhibits.

The historical museum presents ancient exhibits, the entrance is free (already paid the general price at the gate to the whole park, it costs 10 € for one adult), here you can climb the tower, which offers a wonderful view, and there are also many swallows flying, because under the roof there are their nests It was difficult to go up the mountain, because I was climbing the steep stairs from the theater. Then I went down another road, more gentle on the other side. There is a free toilet on the territory near the tower, in the yard near the guard, the conditions are good. I liked the garden around, especially the huge magnolia that blooms in summer. I am satisfied with the trip to this place (I traveled by public bus from Ksamil there and back). Opening at 9 o'clock . For me was enough to visit all places here until 13 o'clock. Also you can take a map of the area at the entrance.

It was ok, but 1000 lek entrance fee, i think its a little too much for what they offer.. if at least there was some audio available.. it is just a nice expensive wall, with some roman ruins, but nothing special. I would value this visit as of max 4-5€ not 10€!

A well preserved, quite small Venetian castle. Represents the more modern part of Butrint.

Its not look like it is its easy to walk trough the castles parts you must see this place

Small but well intact. Definitely worth the walk. Amazing view.

Small but interesting museum down some stairs from the inside of the castle. Videos, statues, vases and maps. Forbidden to take pics. Here is a picture from outside of it.
