BYLLIS

Today we made a short hike around the ancient Illyrian city founded by King Pyrrhus of Epirus. For the Albanians, the city of Byllis, dating back to the 4th century BC, is one of the most important archeological sites in Albania. It has been the largest city of Southern Illyria due to its dominating position over the Vjosa River. Nowadays it is a magical place, visited only by shepherds from the nearby village.
