Four Days Tour in Saranda

Explore The Natural Wonders And Historic Fortifications Of Saranda On A Guided Day Tour

Begin your exploration of southern Albania with a comprehensive guided tour starting from the coastal city of Saranda. This journey focuses on two of the region's most iconic landmarks: the mesmerizing Blue Eye spring and the historic Lekuresi Castle. By departing in the morning, you gain the advantage of visiting these sites before the midday heat, ensuring a comfortable and enriching experience as you delve into the geological and architectural heritage of this beautiful Mediterranean destination.

The Blue Eye, or Syri i Kaltër, is a natural phenomenon where crystal-clear water rises from a deep underground source within the Mali i Gjërë mountain range. The pool displays a stunning array of colors, ranging from deep emerald green at the edges to a dark, intense blue at the center, which resembles a human pupil. This national park is a haven for nature lovers, offering numerous walking paths that wind through lush greenery and smaller, equally enchanting spring water mirrors.

After immersing yourself in the natural beauty of the spring, the tour continues to the elevated ruins of Lekuresi Castle. Perched strategically on a hilltop overlooking the Ionian Sea, this 16th-century fortification provides panoramic views of the Saranda bay and the distant island of Corfu. The castle grounds serve as a perfect vantage point to understand the historical importance of the region, offering a glimpse into the defensive strategies employed during the Ottoman era in Albania.

This tour is designed for those who appreciate the intersection of history and natural splendor. By combining the mystical atmosphere of the Blue Eye with the commanding presence of Lekuresi Castle, you gain a well-rounded perspective of Saranda's unique character.
