Central Coast Half day Adventure, off-the-beaten-path

Why visit Cape of Rodon

Cape of Rodon is one of Albania's most rugged coastal spots — a peninsula of red cliffs, an old castle-church and Cold War bunkers. It's reached by a rough road and rewards with solitude.

Planning your visit

Cape of Rodon is best suited to adventure, off-the-beaten-path. Allow half day to do it justice. For the most current opening hours, ticket prices and transport details, check official sources before you travel — these change seasonally.
