Durrës  One of the oldest cities, the country’s main sea port, the second largest industrial center after Tirana. Durres lies on a small peninsula on the coast of Adriatic Sea. All through the history, Durres was the most important city which linked West Europe with East. Between the 1st and 3rd centuries it was an important port and trading center on the Via Egnatia trading route between Rome and Byzantium. After a great number of earthquakes , much of ancient Durres sank into the sea or collapsed and was subsequently built over.

Today the city is well known for the nearby beach resort of Durres, its wonderful sand and warm sea water.
