Discovering Durres: A Journey Through History and Culture
The journey to the vibrant city of Durres, Albania's second-largest city, takes us back to its Greek origins when it was founded as Epidamnos in the 7th century. Over time, the city's name evolved, with locals believing “Durres” derives from the ancient Greek term "Dirachium," signifying a place that is hard to access. This reflection of its geography becomes clear as Durres is embraced by the ocean on three sides, offering breathtaking views and a unique atmosphere.
