Description
Founded in 588 BC by Greek colonists and embraced by the Illyrian tribes of the Taulantii, Apollonia was one of the most prominent cities of the ancient world — a center of philosophy, culture, and trade. Nestled on the right bank of the Vjosë River, this archaeological gem reveals the grandeur of Hellenistic temples, Roman monuments, and early Christian architecture.
Surrounded by olive groves and panoramic landscapes, the site offers a journey through centuries of human history — where myth and reality intertwine harmoniously.
