Take a panoramic drive to the Graeco-Roman site of Butrint which is located on the Ksamil Peninsula. Along the way, your English-speaking guide will share the local history and culture of Albania. Inhabited since prehistoric times. The area of Butrint has been the site of pre-Greek civilizations, a Roman City, and a Byzantine Port and has even fallen under the influence of the Normans, Venetians, and Ottomans. The present archaeological site is a collection of ruins representing each period in the city’s development. After the downfall of Communism in 1990, under the leadership of Auron Tare, along with Lord Rothchild and Lord Sainsbury, Butrint became certified as a Unesco World Heritage site.

The rich history of Butrint has left important vestiges across the territory of the park. The principal architectural monuments in the park include a Roman theatre, Dionysus altar, Nymphaeum, Thermae, Gymnasium, Forum, Aqueduct, the temples of Minerva and Asclepius, the Lion Gate and a Baptistery situated in Southern Albania and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992.
