The
castle
at
Cape
of
Rodon
is
a
must-see
destination
in
Albania.
This
breathtaking
castle
perched
on
a
cliff
offers
stunning
views
of
the
Albanian
coastline
and
the
Adriatic
Sea.
The
castle
is
an
almost-well
preserved
example
of
medieval
architecture,
and
a
visit
here
provides
a
fascinating
glimpse
into
the
country's
rich
history.
The
castle
is
surrounded
by
lush
greenery
and
is
a
great
place
for
a
picnic
or
a
leisurely
stroll.
Whether
you're
interested
in
history,
architecture,
or
just
want
to
enjoy
the
natural
beauty
of
Albania,
the
Rodoni
Castle
is
not
to
be
missed.
Tips
and
tricks:
1/
The
road
to
Cape
of
Rodon
is
not
maintained
and
a
part
of
it
is
not
asphalted.
So
make
sure
your
vehichle
is
an
appropriate
one
for
off-road.
2/
Stop
by
at
Rodoni
Parking,
at
the
end
of
the
road.
Leave
your
vehichle
there
and
start
a
good
walking
towards
the
beach
on
your
right.
It
is
also
known
as
"Rëra
e
Bardhë"
(Eng.
The
White
Sand)
or
"Plazhi
i
Shën
Antonit"
(Eng.
St.
Anthony's
Beach).
It
is
3/
Enjoy
a
bit
of
the
beach
which
is
not
very
popular,
thus
most
of
the
time
you
will
be
surrounded
by
only
a
few
people.
There
are
a
couple
of
bars
that
offer
drinks
and
snacks.
Get
ready
for
another
walk
on
your
left
towards
the
end
of
the
cape,
nearby
which
stands
the
castle.
The
path
to
the
castle
is
not
a
piece
of
cake.
Sometimes
you
walk
through
sand,
sometimes
on
sharp
stones
and
rocks,
but
also
through
sea
grass
and
unfortunately
many
times
through
trash
:(
If
you
do
not
want
to
slide,
get
an
injury
or
even
infection,
wear
appropriate
stuff.
4/
When
getting
to
the
castle,
you
will
be
able
to
enjoy
it
a
lot.
You
can
have
a
small
picnic
there,
sit
on
top
of
the
ruins
and
make
the
best
of
it.
Do
not
forget
to
bring
a
hat
or
a
small
umbrella
to
take
cover
from
a
hot
burning
sun.
5/
On
the
way
back,
I
preferred
hiking,
which
is
not
very
difficult
and
offers
breathtaking
views
from
the
top
of
the
hill.
However,
the
narrow
trail
is
quite
dangerous
at
some
points,
so
do
not
take
it
for
granted.
Enjoy
your
once-in-a-life
experience
at
Cape
of
Rodon.
