Located only a few kilometers from Tirana, the Cape of Rodon in Durrës is a destination whose popularity has risen exponentially among tourists in the last few years. This narrow strip of land, in the shape of a peninsula, extends along the Adriatic and offers not only beautiful views but several crucial historical and cultural monuments. Many tourists choose to visit the Cape of Rodon during the spring season as it is shrouded in a beautiful cornucopia of flowers (click here for the video) while in the summer, they choose it to enjoy the beautiful virgin beaches and fine-grained sand. Castle of Skanderbeg The Cape is surrounded by navels with an altitude of 25 meters and is particularly famous for the Castle of Skanderbeg located there. The castle by the sea was built by Skanderbeg around 1450 – 1452, in order to create a quick exit to the Adriatic Sea in case of an Ottoman invasion. Life existed inside this castle until 1467, when the Turks destroyed it. Fortunately, the Venetians rebuilt it after 1500 and, since then, it has survived in a fairly good condition. Church of St. Anthony The Church of St. Anthony, a monument built around the same period as the Castle, is located near the Cape. Built in Romanesque-Gothic architecture, this church includes several beautiful frescoes and other interesting elements. Thanks to its position near the Cape and the sea, the panoramas surrounding the Church are quite impressive. The Cape of Rodon is an ideal choice for a relaxing as well as historical and cultural weekend away from Tirana.

Cape of Rodon is one of the closest destinations to Tirana where you can spend a beautiful day. It is located about 60 km north-west of Tirana. The road is partially good and easily passable outside the summer season during which there is a lot of traffic. The part of the road from Lalzi Bay to Cape of Rodon is damaged and you may encounter difficulties due to potholes and road damage. Nature is fantastic, one of the rare areas in Albania where the forests have not been damaged. There is a not very long part for hiking, from the church to the castle, the relief is passable by any category. Apart from the bad road and pollution, every other landscape pleases the eye. Payment at the entrance to Cape of Rodon is 200 Albanian Lek per person and 100 Albanian Lek for vehicles. At the entrance there is also a regulation that you must adhere to while staying in this area. There are some strict rules for people who want to stay long or do camping in the area. For any activity, you can get information from the staff at the entrance of Cape of Rodon. It is windy in the area and I would suggest you to have suitable clothing against the wind. Also during the summer there are many snakes in the area so you have to be careful.

Saw the notes about the trash in some places. Each summer the Albanian gov’t agencies deploy teams to inspect, clean and ready these parks but this year were diverted to the fires in Greece. Agreed though, additional efforts to maintain the park seem necessary. The road in is a bit tough, single lane for several km some parts in bad condition. Having an SUV helps, but I don’t think necessary. Open from 8am to 8pm I believe you enter the formal entry by paying 300 lek or 3 eur. From there you can take short hikes to these views or very short walk to the beach. Beach has chairs/umbrellas (7 eur) small bar with drinks etc.

a really beautiful place with nice long white sand beaches and iceblue water.. however the place only gets two stars because of the owervelming amount of trash on the areas. it was only one small beach that were cleaned off, the other beaches alongside the cape were full with trash. Super unpleasent and non turist friendly. Hope for the future to see some change about this, especially when this place could have been a dream place without all the trash..
