€2,000 Per Square Meter in “Volga”

Durrës Market

The rise in prices for apartments in Durrës has reached a historic peak, forcing local residents toward the suburbs as international capital dominates the city center.

In prestigious areas like “Shetitoria Volga”, prices have officially crossed the €2,000 per square meter threshold. This surge is primarily fueled by a wave of foreign investors from the EU—specifically Italy, the Czech Republic, and Poland—who are acquiring premium stock for high-yield seasonal rentals.

"We have observed consistent growth in central Durrës—at least 20% annually for four years. Areas like Golem and Mali e Robit have reached full capacity, leaving practically no space for new coastal construction."
