Summer Day town Elbasan & the “Little Switzerland" village

During this day trip we will visit a city, with ruins dating from the Roman era and a very pleasant little village in the hilly side of the city. The city of Elbasan is one of the largest in Albania. In fact, though it has an early Ottoman name, it was definitely an Illyrian settlement since the 4th century BC. Settled on the valley of Shkumbini river, it developed and expanded as a station along the famous Via Egnatia Roman road. The Romans called it ‘Ad-Quintum mansio’.
