The Kruja and Sari Saltik Cave Tour combines hiking and cultural activities. Pick up from your hotel at 9:00 a.m. for a 50-minute drive from Durres to the picturesque town of Kruje. The tour starts with a hike to the Holy Cave of Sari Salltik, a 13th-century semi-legendary Turkish dervish venerated as a saint by the Bektashis in the Balkans and parts of the Middle East. You will also pass through parts of modern Kruja before heading onto a trail that has been used for centuries by pilgrims on their way to pray at the holy side. We will walk through modern Kruja’s neighborhoods along an asphalt road until we reach the trail to the cave that has been used for centuries by pilgrims on their way to pray at the tekke. The mountain of Kruja is called the “Adriatic Balcony” by locals because of the panoramic views that can be seen all times of the day. The tour then takes you back to Kruja where you can visit the old bazaar and purchase handmade traditional goods and crafts before heading back to Durres.
