Leaving Italy's Adriatic ports behind, the overnight crossing to Albania lands at Durres or Vlore, with the Albanian coastline's mountains rising steeply behind the shore as you approach. Durres puts you within reach of the country's Roman amphitheatre, while Vlore opens onto the beaches of the Albanian Riviera, a quieter, less-developed stretch of Mediterranean coast further south. Berat, known as the 'city of a thousand windows' for its stacked Ottoman-era houses, is a worthwhile inland detour, as is the capital Tirana, with its colourfully painted communist-era apartment blocks and lively café culture.
