Borsh Castle

Borsh Castle, perched above the village of Borsh near Sarandë, offers a rewarding stop for travelers interested in Albania’s layered history and coastal scenery. The hilltop ruins date mainly to the Middle Ages, with traces of earlier settlement, and their stone walls still outline a once-fortified community. While the castle is largely in ruins, the setting is its main attraction: visitors can enjoy wide views over the Ionian coast, olive groves, and surrounding mountains. It is best suited to those who appreciate quiet historic sites and short uphill walks.
