Central Albania (UNESCO)

Car Rental Berat Airport (TIA)

from €26/day · all-in pricing

Berat, the UNESCO-listed 'City of a Thousand Windows', is one of Albania's most beautiful towns — tiers of white Ottoman houses climbing the hillside beneath a hilltop castle still inhabited today. It sits about two hours south of Tirana, so the easiest approach is to pick up a rental car at the airport and drive down the SH4. A car also opens up the surrounding Osum valley, the Tomorr mountain, and an easy onward route to Vlorë and the coast. Albania Auto Rentals compares live euro quotes so you book the right car for the trip.
