Destination story
A place with its own rhythm.
Durrës is one of Albania’s most historic cities, a major Adriatic port where ancient ruins sit alongside modern seaside life. Its legacy as a key point on the Via Egnatia has left behind a rich tapestry of Roman and Byzantine heritage, most notably the largest Roman amphitheatre in the Balkans, creating an atmosphere steeped in history.
For WOFA performers, Durrës provides a truly distinctive festival setting. The opportunity to perform against a backdrop of millennia-old history, combined with the relaxed atmosphere of a coastal resort, offers a memorable cultural exchange. Groups can share their traditions while discovering the unique character and warm hospitality of Albania.
