Travel offer: Albania
Discover Europe’s last “secret” holiday resort – the ancient port of Durrës has been described as Albania’s Miami Beach.
With a private beach and palm-lined pool, the Adriatik Hotel has long been the place to stay (adriatikhotel.com).
A Roman amphitheatre, where 20,000 watched gladiators do battle, stands in the town centre, and around it Byzantine towers have been converted to bars. For local flavour, head to the prom for a sunset stroll.
Local cuisine is seafood and salads with Turkish touches. Live Albanian folk music is fun at Dy Kitarrat (Rr Taulantia). To eat with the elite, book at Trieste (Plazhi I Hekurudhes), the town’s best seafood restaurant. Both cost under £10pp.
