Michelle
At 0.5€ per person, entrance is basically free! Absolutely worth the visit. Parking was 3€ for up to 3 hours, which also feels like a steal. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because there was trash and graffiti along the path, which was rather disappointing. It may also be worth noting that the restaurant at the end of the path to the Blue Eye is closed when outside of the main tourist season, so bring along a bottle of water and some snacks if you’re planning to spend a while there.

Beautifully place to walk and it was interesting to see the lake. If you arrive with a car you need to pay 300 lek and 50/per person for entrance. If you drive with the motorcycle you might not need to pay parking. We stayed there maybe just for an hour, but it seems like you can hike around that area.

The Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër), Albania The Blue Eye is a must-see natural wonder! It's absolutely breathtaking. The main attraction is the water—it’s impossibly clear and vibrant, glowing with deep sapphire blues in the center eye and stunning turquoise rings around the edges. It truly looks like a giant, mesmerizing eye staring up from the earth. The surrounding nature is lush and green, making the whole spot incredibly picturesque. From the parking lot/entrance gate, it's about a 2 km walk one way to reach the main spring. The path is paved and generally easy, but it can be hot! If you don't want to walk, there are convenient ways to get there: You can often rent an electric scooter at the entrance. Look for the road trainwhich shuttles visitors along the path for a small fee. The water is cold. Go early in the morning to avoid the crowds and get the best photos. It's a short but unforgettable stop!

The water was extremely beautiful and super clear. We went on a very hot day so the cold water was amazing and we went kayaking. I would highly recommend doing the 10 euro kayaking to the blue eye. It was a little crowded but otherwise it was fantastic.
Milan
Beautiful spot with crystal-clear water, but not an all-day attraction. A small train runs for less active visitors, but I recommend walking – it’s a pleasant stroll on a well-maintained path. You can grab a snack or buy souvenirs nearby. Public toilets are available, though they could be better maintained. Worth a short visit!
