Overview

Stop 1: The Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër)
Your first destination is the magical natural spring known as the Blue Eye. Hidden deep between lush mountains, this crystal-clear spring offers breathtaking views and an unforgettable experience. The water maintains a chilly temperature of 8–12°C even during the summer, making it a refreshing natural wonder.
Enjoy a peaceful coffee break surrounded by untouched nature, the soothing sound of flowing water, and the serene energy of this mystical place.
Stop 2: Lekursi Castle
On your way back to Saranda, you’ll stop at the historic Lekursi Castle, perched high on a hill overlooking the entire region. From here, you’ll enjoy a spectacular 360° panoramic view — including the city of Saranda, the island of Corfu, Butrint Lake, the Bistrica River, ancient and modern architecture, mountains, churches, and mosques — all in one breathtaking landscape.

After the tour, you will be comfortably dropped off at your original point of departure.
