More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A salt-bright wind pushes you along a low coastal ridge as the Adriatic slides past on your right and the hill’s scrubby terraces hold the shape of older lives on your left. The path rises and falls across limestone outcrops, opens on a small pebbled bay, and threads through stands of maquis where the scent of thyme and pine sharpens the air.

History
Kallmi Hill sits above ancient Epidamnos (Durrës), a strategic Adriatic port with layers of Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman influence; the hill’s recent military restriction preserved sections of its ecology.
Conservation
The area’s public opening is recent; stay on trails, pack out waste, and avoid disturbing archaeological remains to protect both habitats and cultural sites.

Wear grippy shoes
Trails include limestone slabs and loose scree—trail or approach shoes with good tread reduce slips.
Hydrate and time it
Carry 1–1.5 L water and start early or late to avoid strong midday sun off the sea.
Bring a sun layer

Parts of Kallmi were restricted until recently—follow your guide and avoid off-trail exploration to protect archaeology and habitat.
