Tips

  • They don’t have many souvenirs and restaurants, so pack your food
  • Drink lots of water: it can be pretty toasty during summer so make sure you drink lots of water

  • Don’t forget your camera:!t  provides one lot of photo opportunities
  • If you’re on a tour of Butrint in Albania then it’s always a good idea to leave a tip with your tour guide as a sign of appreciation. I’d usually say €3 to 5 is about right
