    Apollonia is an archaeological park in center of Albania. In the ancient times, Apollonia was an important Greek city. The city was founded in 588 BC by Greek colonists from Corfu and Corinth. However, it was during the Roman period that the city of Apollonia really flourished. In the 4th century AD, Apollonia was an important economic city and trade center. The city was known for its famous school of philosophy. Cicero, a famous Roman public speaker, called Apollonia "a great and important city". And the city was also one of the most important gateways to the Via Egnatia, which was a Roman trade route through the Balkans. The ruins of Apollonia were re-discovered in the beginning of the 19th century. The park is set of a hilly plateau and it is surrounded by calming nature.

Interesting trip to ruins of Apollonia and then later to Byzantine city of Berat. Our tour guide, Jack, was great. There's lots of walking, so bring good shoes and drink plenty of water in the summer. The iconography museum at Berat castle was impressive. This is an all-day excursion but gives you a chance to see some of the Albanian countryside and learn about the layers of history of the Albanian people.

My husband and I went on the three-day Albanian Riviera transportation and sightseeing trip. It could not have gone more perfectly. The communication beforehand was excellent. Manon explained everything in advance and responded very quickly and thoroughly to the list of questions I had. Jack picked us up at our hotel in Tirana and off we went. He was so enjoyable to spend time with. He explained everything we were going to see and do and gave just the right amount of information on the sights. That said, he has a deep knowledge of history and was happy to go into depth when asked. My husband and I usually go on our own when traveling but this time, we were so happy we had a guide. We would never have learned as much or have been as comfortable traveling if we had done it without Jack. Albania is a beautiful country and we are so happy we saw what we did. Thank you, Jack and Manon, for teaching us about your country. We wish you great success with your business. Elaine and Joe P.S. Jack is an excellent and careful driver. I always felt safe!

We had a great day visiting the site of Apollonia and Berat with Jack. The places are beautiful and the anecdotes that follow our visit are essential to understand these places. I would recommend a visit with them, it will be a good experience :)
