Our Final episode. what do you think about Durres is it more Miami of Albania? what do you think of albania overall?
Durres, known in ancient times as Epidamnos or Epidamnus, was founded by Greek colonists from Corinth around the 7th century BCE. These Greek settlers established Epidamnos as a colony, taking advantage of its strategic location on the coast of present-day Albania. So yes, the city of Durres was founded by Greeks, but it's worth noting that it has a much older history as an Illyrian settlement before Greek colonization
Beautiful
its good if you have money
Beatiful
Your intro already showed this video is not meant to be took seriously. Do some research on Pelasgians Illyrians next time.
@@southepirote7676we did our research but that doesn’t mean we have to cover all the history and we make it easy for the people to understand.
Sorry for the little correction but durres is at least 3.000 years old and his original name was Dyrrah and in Illyrian ( Albanian ) it means " 2 winds " because there are 2 different Winds
thank you for the correction ❤️❤️
@@Maykelandmaaike yes there is a lot of archeological objects that confirm what I'm saying , but still i don't understand why this misinformations keeps circulating around... I think it's propaganda because the museums they know the reality . Isn't your fault because you have been brainwashed accidentally I think like everybody does when they try to learn some Albanian history, i guess it's because of the big bad propaganda on the Albanian history that they try to spread around. TNX btw . 👍
respect
They say that in Greece 130 years ago Arvanites spoke Albanian 70% of the people speak Albanian
Thank you, lady for sharing your great impressions !
Pls, kindly correct the historical reference of one of the most ancient city in Albania and in the Mediterranean ! Dyrrah, was its name then, under the domain of the Illyrian tribe named Taulanti. The colons (hence the name), from the Hellenic tribe of Corinthians, settled there at a later time.
If you haven't noticed it already, :) we, the Albanians, are sensitive to the historical references, especially the incorrect ones.
Other than that, I'm glad you had a great time. Come back and visit us soon !
thank you for the info ❤️❤️
Albania food is paradise 😮🎉lovely
Indeed it it 😍😍
A small greek colony has always been found in this city. However, the founders of the city are the Taulants, an Illyrian tribe. The homeland of the Taulant tribe for thousands of years has been Tirane, Durres, Kavaje and the surrounding areas. Tribalism in southern and central Albania continued until the late middle ages. It continues to a lesser extent in nothern Albania and Kosovo
Thank you for the info ❤️
Epidam was founded in the 11th century BC and not in the 7th. By the 7th century, it was called Dyrrah. It was an Illyrian city and was founded by the Illyrians, belonging to one of the greatest ruling dynasties of the Illyrian kingdom the Taulanti. So one of the biggest and oldest Illyrian cities was surely not founded by some people who only came to Europe 4 centuries before the founding of the city of Durres. The Hellenic colons came later to Durres and Apolonia but they never founded these cities. These cities were and have always been Illyrian. Please get the correct information before spreading lies or misinformation. There is not a single city in the entire territory of Illyria( 400.000 km2) that was founded by Hellens, not a single one.
thanks for the info ❤️❤️
Hi guys. I have loved watching your videos from Albania. You give them such a warm vibe and they have all been very interesting. You talked about missing. I started travelling there in 2016. I have kept coming back cuz it really stole my heart. I have made very good friends there too. Albanians are the most generous and helpful people I have met and I always miss this country. Of all the highlights I would say going to the remote village of Nivica in Tepelene was the highest. Located on top of a canyon. Thanks for sharing your experiences, it was a joy to follow you there. Best regards from Oslo.
Thank you for your comment it really means a lot ❤️ and it is definitely a great choice 😍
Im exactly from Tepelene and reading this comment about Nivica makes me feel really good , thanx a lot , glad to hear that strangers have such a great time in my land. And just a little bit of info correction , greeks never build something here , they find everything already build a long time before them by the Illyrians , the greeks just stole the ownership , like they allways do couse thats what they do they steal , they'r the biggest thiefs of the human kind ....anyway glad to hear that u had a good time
just watching the beach makes you relax
Indeed ❤️❤️
Albania it's the laser wild country of Europe and the most important country with this oldest history and language in ballkan and all Europe !
Indeed ❣️❣️
Wasn’t founded by the greeks! Was the center of illyria TAULANTIA,was the place where Quen Teuta fought the Romans.Greek colonisators founded Epidamus and the Roman name was “Dyrrah-Dyrrahchium” in Albanian means “beaten by 2 seas”
not "hard to acces"
It seems like we are saying the same thing 😉 but overall thank for extra information ❣️
Durres, known in ancient times as Epidamnos or Epidamnus, was indeed founded by Greek colonists from Corinth around the 7th century BCE.

@@Maykelandmaaike
Has existed before greeks!Was The city of Taulantia and populated by Taulantian tribes. After the big war of Illyian-Roman,Romans founded Dyrrahchium! Dyrrahchium has nothing to do with greek’s! greeks found Epidamus as conqueror same like they foundet Antipatrea in Dimale(today Berat) Dimale means two mountain in Albanian. Dyrrahchium it’s something else Epidamus it’s something else.
@@Maykelandmaaike
In the Illyrian War of 229 BC, 219 BC and 168 BC, Rome overran the Illyrian settlements and suppressed piracy, which had made Adriatic Sea an unsafe region for Roman commerce. There were three Roman campaigns: the first against Teuta the second against Demetrius of Pharos and the third against Gentius.
Thankyou for your Albania series of videos.
Very informative and honest assessment.
You seem a lovely couple
Thank you for your comment it means a lot ❤️
This is a special video (very enjoyable and well done) and is my favorite of your Albanian videos.
Durres really looks amazing and enchanting. I can tell that it’s everything you describe just by watching the video. The city, the sea, and the food 😋 are wonderful (I can tell) and worth the trip.
I’ve never been to Miami so I can’t answer the first question, but I think Albania overall is definitely worth visiting. Beautiful nature, outdoor activities, great food, great prices, cute towns, cool cities, and friendly people: these are all good enough reasons to visit.
Thank you both for making such great travel videos. 🙏 I look forward to seeing what country you visit next! 🤗
next is miami
Thank you for your comment it really means a lot and indeed Durres is so beautiful 😍
Nuk ka Asnje lidhje durresi me fjalen qe thoni ka preadhje nga greqia
Must be a bad translation 🙃
Sapo jua thash o vlla , komplet te papergjegjshem per ate qe thone , pa pike respekti .
@@iliadmalkahaha dude chill out we don’t create the story it is written online one google- Wikipedia - chatGPT
Thanks for all the places shared I will be visiting durres in June
Enjoy it is really beautiful 🥰
enjoy it bro i wish i could visit it too
Lovely city where take place the civil Roman war between Cesar and Pampeo in Dyrrachium or Durazzo where is even biggest amphitheater of Balkans in this city !
Yeah but unfortunately it was closed for a while 🙃
Albania 🇦🇱 😍 🤩 👌 love
❤️❣️
Albanian people are very hard working people and very intelligjent nation they are descent from Pellazgo Illyrian and Albanian language is the oldest language in Europe god bless Albanians🙏
Indeed ❤️❤️
Artificial Greek identity was created by Eastern Orthodox Church in the 19 century. This city has nothing to do with Greeks. These are Illyrian cities!!!
Thank you for the info ❤️
Thank you that was what I wanted to say
Please dont do history when you stay in balcan , you said epidamnus the first time and then durrachium so its different but still today the name of the city is durres same as durrachium , sorry for the advice and have a nice time there
If i had to listen to what you say in the comments we will have three different stories about one place 😂 and you can talk to wikipedia to out 3 stories in there. 🙃
@@Maykelandmaaike try other websites than Wikipedia
@@Maykelandmaaike wikipedia is just like a newspaper , it depends on who make the articles and in what purpose
@@besnikillyrian8520yeah well we use chat gpt that collects all the data about the country and we use local websites. And the story says that it was ruled by the Greek colonists and they expanded it. The history goes way back but my videos are a bit of everything not a history class. I am not here to talk about how human evolved from monkeys to human 😂
And on top of that if you read the comments section each albanian is telling different story. So from experience we know we can’t make everyone happy 🙃
We don’t have ocean, we have the Adriatic Sea 🌊
Nicee❤️❤️
waw nice information bro
Yes Durres is Miami of Balkans beautiful 👍
Indeed it is we are going to miss it ❣️
absolutely
❤❤
❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️
ancient greeks have nothing to do with modern greek. they were wiped out by gothic invasion.
Thank you for the info but it seems like each one in the comments have a different story 🙃 overall we take all the info from the internet (wikipedia-local sites)
Lovely couple 😊
Thank you ❤️❤️ that’s so nice of you 🥰
yeah true
❤❤❤ loved Durres and the entire series I followed every place you went to and hope you’ll continue your videos 😍
❤️❤️
yeah me too
❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
❤️❤️
It was founded by the Greek ????? So u saying that an ancient city in the hart of Albania was build from the greeks , for sure not the best vid , but olso a bad joke too...anyway hope u enjoyed
people make mistakes broo
No we don’t 😂 read it on wikipedia greek colonists also founded the city and expanded it
First of all, the greek colonists also founded the city you can find this information everywhere online. They were big part of building the city. Second of all the joke was not about albania it was abou The Netherlands. Overall we loved albania obviously and i can do jokes because this is who i am and if you don’t like the joke you don’t have to watch the video because it’s not meant for everybody. The whole purpose is for fun❤️❤️
@@Maykelandmaaike ok than , stick to the info that u find on line it your choise and im fine with that nothing changes to me , u not the first and neither the last , but , your choise cant prevent me for saying what i said ... If u were a little more peacefull or just a little more interested in what u said and not just say it couse u heard or read that on line , instead of fighting me and making clear to me that u can count till 2 , u could have asked me why i reacted like i did , but its ok , whats importand is that peace is still ruling the world . By the way i love Netherland too , huge fan of football
@@iliadmalkatrust me i am so interested and i travelled across all the country and we loved it. The history is so big and we read a lot about it and if you read my main comment you will find the whole story. But we can’t share all the history about the places we visit so in every video we give a bit of the Albanian history so people understand that albania has a big history and some things are nice to know about. We can’t cover all the history because it becomes a class and not a travel video ❤️ overall history is a history it is in the past let’s not argue about the past and focus on enjoying the present and the future 🙃
i was there in durres this year and i want to say that the citiy was very dirty and the beach was not clean it is sad but durres it was far away to be like miami
for me ksamil is more beautiful than durres
That is sad to hear probably you visited durres during high season. And we were there in November it was very calm and nice.
But also ksamil for the beach is much nicer the nature there is so nice
no bro you were not relaxed probably
Wtf durres is the oldest city in albania..was founded by illiryan..queen Teuta
we need to pay attention in history class
Durres comes from Albanian words: Dy Rhahe, which means two hills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank for the info ❤️
Having fun ?
Yeyyy❤️❤️
of course they are having fun the beach is innof to have alot of fun
@@theglobalduck you mean “enough”
Durres didnt come from greek hahaha is a illyrian language and greek langauge is albanian language changed from marco bocari in 1825, the term greek mean those with orthodox faith like bisantine empire albanian laguange is proto indo europian the root of all langauge in world over 7000 years old. 70% of world have origin from pelazgian illyrian tribes
In the publications and archival sources, there is no doubt that the Durrës toponym comes from the Middle Ages, from the last millennium. It is to be believed, that the designation Durrës is a lexical play in time of the ancient name Dyrrah, just as the Latinized name Dyrrachium was played by the Romans, in the Italianized name Durazzo by the Italians (Venetians) during the Middle Ages. The derivation of the name Durrës from the name Dyrrah speaks of a direct dependence of these two toponyms, of belonging to the same urban civic space, so it goes without saying that the medieval Durrës and that of the Ré period are located on the same urban civic space of ancient Dyrrah. The archeological topography map drawn by us, proves the best and vice versa, that Dyrrah, hidden underground, lies under the area of today's Durres, that is, not only on the eastern slopes of the hill range, but also in the urban plain space below them, up to also on the water banks of the Lagoon (Swamp) turned into a construction area.
thank you for the info ❤️❤️
This is not founded by Greeks but by ilyrians these ancient people are same as old like ancient Greeks just Google it modern Greeks they don't have nothing to do with old Greeks modern Greeks they come from Turkey iran and middle Eastern
Read the main comments that’s google❤️
First of all.... The people who live in so called Greece today used to be called "Romej" during Byzantine Empire and "Raja" during Ottoman Empire times (except the Arvanitas who used to be called always by their name like "Albani", "Arbanoi", etc.) and the name "Greece" never existed during Byzantine times.
During Ottoman times in the Balkans, after the big powers pushed for an uprising in the place that today is called "Greece", an independent country was formed in 1821-1832. The majority of the population there was of Arvanitas (and Chameria) stock, they also were the backbone of the uprising for independence from the Ottoman Empire. The rest of the minority population was of Slav, Turks and Aromanian stock.
After the gain of independence the place was so divided, and with a prolonged civil war that a real country could not be formed.
Fearing the disintegration of the place after Ottomans left (and possibility of a return of the Ottomans), Prince Otto of Germany was brought in by European powers to clear the mess and do nation - building there. He was proclaimed King of the place by big powers and given plenipotentiary powers.
The Price Otto royal family in Germany happen to be an admirer of the ancient civilizations, one of them being the extinct so called ancient made up "Greek" civilization, traces and archeological findings of which are also seen in that region called today "Greece" as well.
Being an ancient history romantic and buff, Otto came up with the idea, that the only way to keep the place together and for a chance to build a country there, was to adopt/impose some kind of neutral/foreign ancient language and culture for all people living in that place, that will make possible for the people to stick together under one language and culture imposed on them.
So with a special royal decree, he proclaimed a version of the ancient "Greek" (the easier one to be taught and learned by people there in those times) as an official language of the place, and also came up with the new name for the place, calling it with a special royal decree "Greece".
Everything else was banned, and the new "country" formed, was ordered to be rebuild anew in resemblance of the old romantic view of the so called ancient Greek civilization, starting with the buildings, names of people, places, cities and villages, regions, mountains, fields and all were changed to made-up names loaned by the ancient literature of so called ancient "Greek" civilization.
This of course was associated with money brought by European powers to rebuild. The more people in that place agreed with the change of their true national and ethnic identity and declare themselves artificially "Greeks/Helenes" and adopt to the new order, the more money was to be pouring in.
Naturally, the strongest resistance to this artificial and made-up solution, was made by the Arvanitas (and Chameria), but at no avail.
It is legendary, the loss by one vote in the Price Otto's Parliament of that time, of Arvanitas proposal to have the Albanian (Arvanite) language as an official language of the place called 'Greece" today, and to call the new country "Arvanoi" (instead of "Greece").
There is plenty of scientific and factual evidence, archival and historical documents, as well as studies and publications by major authors and authorities in the field about as above.
One interesting fact here, is that one of the earlier German/Austrian well known historians and scientists of that time, Fallmerayer, alerted Prince Otto and others to this nonsense, of declaring a whole people (slavs, arabs, latins) and place by a name not belonging to them, and injecting an extinct language, culture and civilization on people who had no idea about it and did not belong to it at all, the exception of course being Albanians that are native in the region.
By the way, Fallmerayer, is a banned figure and historian in what is called Greece today.
Germany is still paying for the Otto's mistake, even today. It has gotten stuck with the country so called "Greece". It is now forced to pour free money, even today, out of Germany's pocket (through European Union as well) year after year to keep it alive and going, as this "Greece" cannot stand on its own. It is an artificial creation of Prince Otto's fantasy (a "zombie" country so to speak), and the new generations of the Germans and Europeans are continuing to pay the price for it.
Moreover, what Prince Otto did back then, is tantamount to ethnic cleansing. He forced inhabitants of a whole region/place (called "Greece" today) to change by force their culture, language, national and ethnic identity to something else that those people were not, so they could artificially change in order to look modern and civilized (like ancient Greeks in Otto's personal view) and possibly be united. And of course, Arvanites and Chams (as the majority population in the region) suffered mostly from this ethnic cleansing.
All this revelation, informs another major point: history taught about what today is called Greece, it appears to be taught wrong (you for an example and many others). People are wrongly taught in schools that today's Greece and its people are the direct descendants of ancient Greeks. Greece and Greeks of today, in some extend, also think they are superior to others just because they are called "Greeks" and their country "Greece" by decree (not by the virtue of the truth). They also seem to believe for some reason, they are entitled to the German and European money being handed out to them.
The school textbooks and historiography should change, telling people the truth as it is. And with this, will come many other changes, in the way we see relations with the country called "Greece" today. Another fun fact, Greece carries the law of war against Albanian, the reason being because Albanians predate them and the Greeks fear this so instead they want to wipe us out like what Israel is doing against Palestinians, the same thing Greeks did with Albanians in western Greece.
brooo this is too much
@@theglobalduck Had to. I know there will be Greek nationalists using this video as a credible source to claim Albanian lands and history so I thought I'd put this out there.
@@southepirote7676 okeey goodjob
Greek colonialists expanded the city also and they are part of the history. And we are giving people a bit of the history we are not here to teach a lesson. Overall this is our world problem people are connected to history and fight for but if you look closely lots of people fought for years and died and the lands they fought for are empty. History is a past and you seem so attached to it. What you can change is the future, in order to make the world a better place we need to stop fighting for history and the past but instead learn from it and become better. This is my message to you and to the world. The less you belong the happier you live❤️ i am Lebanese and what israel is doing to palestine is also happening in Lebanon. So again what they fight for is history. That we need to change it is sad what is happening but this happened for years across the globe. And the reason for is people are attach to something don’t belong to them. Soon we all gonna die and nobody is going to remember us neither one of us is taking anything everything stays here. Isn’t that a big sign that we don’t belong here? Then what are we fighting for the history? I have been through wars myself and the one thing i learned is to say bye and leave to another place. The less you belong the more happy you live it is that simple❤️
Greeks never been there 🙄 only romans and its much older
Also the colonists greek you can find that info on the internet
Read more
hahah waw nice advice
Hahahah,Greeks on the 7th century did not exist if you know basic historical facts!
And dont be so shallow with the EU investments as there is about 2 million Albanians that work and pay taxes in Europe .
You don’t have to be negative ❤️ Later, during the Hellenistic period, Durres became known as Epidamnos (or Epidamnus) and was settled by Greek colonists from Corinth around the 7th century BCE. The Greeks expanded the city and established it as a prominent trading hub. Call wikipedia and tell them to change history 😉 and the tax joke. You don’t live in The Netherlands to understand so don’t get offended on something you don’t know, it is a waste of your good energy 🙃
@@Maykelandmaaike wikipidia isn’t the fountain of the pure truth and history is ever changing organizem!You said Greek and that wrong!Between the Helens and Greeks there is 1000 years gap and 600 years of Bizantine!!
As for how tax works in EU or Holland i know extremely well!
People that quit jobs dont pay tax.
@@ilirrroku9576chat gpt is and indeed there is a big history and i am not here to teach a lesson i am here to show the place enjoy it and give a small history about it. 🙃 people that quit there jobs used to pay taxes 😉 and we pay taxes over social media revenue. Overall we are not here to argue, if you have a bad day exercise will do better then a negative comment 😉
why are you lying when you don't know the history really don't talk about it
Wikipedia: Durres, known in ancient times as Epidamnos or Epidamnus, was indeed founded by Greek colonists from Corinth around the 7th century BCE. These Greek settlers established Epidamnos as a colony, taking advantage of its strategic location on the coast of present-day Albania. So yes, the city of Durres was founded by Greeks, but it's worth noting that it has a much older history as an Illyrian settlement before Greek colonization.
I don’t make the story it is everywhere on the internet 🙃❤️
