Exploring the charming old town of Berat

Berat is literally one of the most charming towns I've ever been to. Just strolling through the city and next to the canal is an experience in itself. You're accompanied by the call for prayer coming from the mosques.

Main street drinks and rooftop dinner

We had a glass of wine on the main street in Berat, just watching people :-) Afterwards we went for dinner (1800 LEK) and stumbled upon a rooftop restaurant, hidden between the small, cobbled streets.

There's a short 5 minute walk uphill to our B&B
