What To Expect

The Blue Eye

Embark on a scenic journey to one of Albania’s most captivating natural wonders — the Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër). Hidden in the lush village of Muzinë, this crystal-clear spring is famed for its vivid blue color, surreal underwater visibility, and its eye-shaped appearance. A declared Natural Monument, the Blue Eye emerges from more than 50 meters deep, with water gushing at up to 7 cubic meters per second. The sight is breathtaking — you’ll see straight to the bottom as the vibrant blue water bubbles mysteriously from the earth.
