The Castle of Porto Palermo, nestled on a picturesque peninsula in Albania, offers stunning coastal views and rich history, making it a popular tourist destination. It is generally accessible by car, with a short walk to the castle entrance, though visitors with mobility challenges may find internal access difficult due to stairs and uneven surfaces. Both solo exploration and guided visits are feasible; a guide can provide deeper historical context, while solo visitors enjoy flexibility. The castle is typically open year-round, but the best time to visit for pleasant weather and to enjoy nearby beaches is from late spring to early autumn. The approximate cost is minimal, usually a small entrance fee (a few euros equivalent), and a typical visit duration is 1-2 hours to explore the fortress and surroundings. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes, bring sun protection and water, and be prepared for limited facilities directly at the site, though seasonal cafes might operate nearby.
