Durrės/Durrazzo

by JLBG - last update: Oct 20, 2007

Caution : this is not a new page. I have tranfered here without any change my previous Durrės page, based on my 1988 travel. I have now built a new Durrės page, based on my May 2007 visit.

Durrės is the main harbor for Albania, only 39 km from the capital Tirana. It has close to 100,000 inhabitants and is the second largest city in Albania, after Tiranė.
Durrės
Epidamnus was founded around 625 BC by the Corcyreans, who were the ancient inhabitants of the island of Corfu and by the Corinthians from the Greek city of Corinth. The Romans seized the city in the 3rd century BC and changed the name to Dyrrhachium which became later Durr?s in Albanese and Durrazzo in Italian.

 Buddy, you must let me know how you manage to always stay on the go! You are, without a glimmer of doubt, the sultan of travel.

 I found your Durres tips very helpful. And the amphitheater is still closed!
