Seasonall year round
The perfect tour if you arrive in Vlorë in the afternoon or want to fill the evening after a day at the beach: climb to Kaninë castle — a 4th-century BC fortress — as the sunset lights up the whole bay down to Sazan island.
Then the Narta lagoon: a wooden footbridge leads to Zvernec island, where a 13th-century monastery rests among cypress trees and flamingos. The evening ends in Vlorë's Old Town among Ottoman streets, the Muradie Mosque and the old town's bars.

Frequently asked questions
What time is sunset?
The tour starts at 16:00 in summer to catch the sunset at Kaninë; in winter we move the start earlier. The exact time is confirmed on WhatsApp.
Is there an entrance fee for Kaninë castle?
No, entry is free.
Are flamingos always visible?
The Narta lagoon colony is present most of the year; the best periods are spring and autumn, but sightings can't be 100% guaranteed.
Can the tour end at a restaurant in the Old Town?
Of course: we drop you right at the restaurant you prefer and you return to the hotel on foot or by taxi.
