Përmet is known for its wonderful nature, rich culture, and its nickname “The City of Roses,” thanks to the many flowers that brighten the town. One of Albania’s major rivers flows through Përmet, creating a large scenic canyon that adds to its unique beauty.

During this day tour from Saranda, you will visit the famous Benja Thermal Baths, known for their warm, mineral-rich waters containing sulfur and magnesium. These natural pools are believed to offer several healing benefits, such as relieving joint and muscle pain, improving blood circulation, soothing skin conditions, and reducing stress.

After your relaxing spa time, the tour continues through the peaceful trails of Langarica Canyon, one of the most stunning natural attractions in the region. You will also explore cultural highlights, including the historic Katiu Bridge . On the return journey, enjoy a short stop in Kelcyra to admire the small waterfall beneath the roadside cafés—a quiet, refreshing, and very photogenic spot.
