In southern Albania, swimming distance from the Greek island of Corfu, the city of Butrint has stood for thousands of years. Its crumbled remains are a history buff’s dream: an open-air theatre from when the city was a Greek colony, a Byzantine baptistery and a Roman aqueduct.
Foxes, peregrine falcons and golden eagles roam the 93sq km national park that encompasses Butrint’s archaeological treasures.
