Butrint National Archaeological Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site showcasing a rich tapestry of ancient civilizations. While largely accessible, visitors should expect uneven terrain requiring comfortable walking shoes; some areas may be challenging for those with mobility issues. It can be explored independently with provided signage, but a guided tour is highly recommended to fully appreciate its historical significance. The park is open year-round, with spring and autumn offering the most pleasant weather, while summer can be very hot and crowded. Expect an entrance fee of approximately €6-€8 (700-1000 ALL), with guided tours costing extra. A typical visit lasts 2-4 hours, and it's advisable to bring water and sun protection, especially during warmer months. The park is conveniently located near the Albanian Riviera, making it an excellent stop when visiting Saranda or Ksamil.
