3 days in Berat — and I already want to revisit We didn’t expect this small city in Albania to stay with us the way it did. From a 2.5-hour bus ride out of Tirana, to slow mornings in flower-filled cafés, simple guesthouse breakfasts, and wandering through stone streets in the old town — eve

A slow day in one of the most beautiful towns in Albania. We started with a quiet morning café filled with flowers, followed by a homemade breakfast at our guesthouse. Then we wandered through Berat Old Town — stone streets, soft light, and layers of history everywhere you look. The highli
