Day trip from Tirana to Apollonia and Ardenica
Discover Ardenica Monastery which is inarguably one of the most beautiful Monasteries in Albania. Located 237 meters above sea level and only a 20-minute drive from Fier is the Ardenica hills, famous for the Monastery of the Nativity of the Theotokos and many breathtaking landscapes. A pagan temple dedicated to the goddess Artemis existed where the Monastery sits now, which explains the origin of the name Ardenica.
If we could choose the one place where you will have your most memorable encounter with history in Albania, it would have to be the ancient city of Apollonia, founded in the sixth century B.C. Situated in southwestern Albania, about 13 miles from the city of Fier, this city was built on the lands of the Taulantii Illyrian tribe. It was considered to be one of the most prominent cities at the time. Thanks to the monuments and ruins scattered on the hills of the Archaeological Park, the largest in Albania, you will have the opportunity to come in intimate contact with the splendor of the Hellenistic and Roman periods.
