Berat
Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008, Berat is an Albanian town known as the "city of a thousand windows" for its distinctive Ottoman-era architecture, where churches and mosques line the streets of a well-preserved old quarter filled with murals and frescoes. The river Osum runs through the centre, and Mount Tomorr — a national park — rises to the east. A walkable food-and-drink scene and multiple scenic viewpoints round out the offer.
