The sun tilts low over Berat and the whitewashed houses of Mangalem begin to glow; you’re driven up a narrow road where vineyards and olive trees thin into open view. Whether you pick a high ridge above the castle or a quiet coastal overlook beyond the plain, the hour before dusk pulls the landscape into sharp relief — stone walls, a river that seems to hesitate, and a horizon that refuses to hurry.
