What's more
Butrint is a town located among spectacular lakes on a lush, green hill. It is also home to a Greek theatre that dates back to the 3rd century BC. Interestingly, there is also an impressive 6th-century baptistry and basilica. Do also note that it is incredibly hot on most days of the summer and you may need a generous dose of sunblock and plenty of water while you’re exploring Butrint, on foot.
