For a delightful day trip from the hustle and bustle of Tirana, The Cape of Rodon on the Adriatic Coast of Albania is the escape you need! In addition to the breathtaking natural beauty of the coast, the region offers the historic Castle of Skanderbeg built in 1463. The other treasure near the castle is an Albanian Cultural Monument of The Church of St. Anthony, a fine example of Byzantine architecture from the Illyrian cradle of Christianity in the Balkans. Kayaking in the clear water of Adriatik sea and fresh air will complete the experience In addition to hiking, kayaking and cultural tours, participants will be treated to a traditional Albanian sea food featuring regional specialties.
Overview
Located right by the beach and still open for everyone, the Church of Saint Anthony will show to you the trace of Bizantine Empire. The old church, keeps a lot of secrets on it while you are going to witness a few rows of wooden stoles ascended by a large cross. Once we are out the church, we can take a walk by the shore and upon desire jump in the water to cool off.
Traces of the communist regime are still here as following back the trail bunkers are going to appear on the hill. Along the way up-hill the Rodoni Castle built by our national hero Skanderberg is going to appear. Nice landscapes are going to be with you all the way as the height of the walls down the sea are not for the faint of heart. The castle being on the right side of the cape is going to take us down the beach so make sure u have some comfortable shoes so the terrain doesn’t defeat you. The trip is going to be fulfilled by a clambake on the blanket.

One of the first sights to discover is the Saint Anthony Church, a cultural monument located right by the beach and still open to service. Inside the old church, a few rows of wooden stools are overlooked by a large cross, for an interior that is both historic and updated. Once outside, we can take a stroll by the water and have our yoga class, and (weather permitting) jump right after into the sea to cool off.
Later we follow the trail back inland past the many former bunkers on the hill to get to the path that leads to the cape’s other important historical structure: the Rodoni Castle, built by the national hero Skanderberg. On either side we’ll see the precipice of the cape and the sea below, which is as intimidating as it is beautiful. The castle itself is back on the beach on the right side of the cape, so we’ll have to climb back down to reach it (make sure to wear comfortable shoes because the path is rocky and sometimes slippery). We will enjoy a picnic lunch al fresco on the blanket.
