Blue Eye Spring – Nature's Hidden Gem

Begin your adventure with a visit to the stunning Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër) — a crystal-clear natural spring nestled in a lush forest. Marvel at the deep blue waters fed by an underground river, and capture the perfect photo in this peaceful, scenic setting.

Gjirokastra – The Stone City (UNESCO World Heritage)

Continue to the enchanting hillside city of Gjirokastra, known for its stone rooftops, Ottoman-era architecture, and cobbled streets.

Explore the imposing Gjirokastra Castle, wander through the charming Old Bazaar, and learn about the city’s rich history at the Ethnographic Museum. Pause for a delicious lunch at a traditional local restaurant.

Lekursi Castle – Sunset Over the Ionian Sea

On the return journey to Saranda, stop at Lekursi Castle, perched high above the city. Enjoy panoramic views of Saranda, the Ionian coastline, and Corfu, and watch the sun dip below the horizon — a perfect way to end your day.
