Phoenice, an ancient city dating back to the 5th century BC, offers a fascinating glimpse into Illyrian and Greek history. Visitors can wander through the remains of a theater, agora, and fortifications set against a backdrop of rolling hills. The site is less crowded than other Albanian ruins, providing a peaceful experience. A small on-site museum displays artifacts unearthed during excavations, adding context to the stone structures.
