What To Expect

The Blue Eye

We will explore the National Park of “Blue Eye” - an attractive tourist place, located in the village of Muzinë, near the national road Delvinë - Gjirokastër. It’s a very picturesque area, where crystal clear water gushes out from within the mountain Mali i Gjërë. This actual spring is the largest and a most interesting source among the other 18 springs that flow from Mali i Gjërë. It has been declared a Natural Monument and has oval shape similar to the shape of an eye.The spring has great depth, which goes up to 50m, and it’s surrounded by dense and lush vegetation. All in all, the area offers a great time out for adults, as well as for children.

1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Included

Lekuresi Castle

On this tour we will explore The Fortress of Lekuresi, believed to have been built in 1537, when Sultan Sulejmani attacked Corfu. The castle is located within the ruins of Lekuresi village, on the top of the hill, above the city of Saranda. It really is a strategic position where you can see the entire bay of Saranda, the road that leads to Butrint and the islands of Ksamil. In addition, you can also see the Island of Corfu. A place rich in history, and a fantastic view.

Many mishaps

There were so many mishaps with this tour I do not know where to begin. The driver was given the wrong time and did not meet us at the port. If it had not been for Port security making calls for us we would have given up on the tour altogether. When he was located we had to walk 10 minutes to his car. He did not have our names on a display card or any ID saying he was with the tour company. Last minute messages were sent but the port has no Wi-Fi and we were off the ship. We did finally take the tour but the driver, although he was nice and polite, had little to no information about our stops. The company was very nice during the booking process and the Blue eye was beautiful, and worth the ride but book with some else.
Good experience

Our tour was good we arrived on a cruise ship with limited time to visit these attractions. Our guide was very informative and we enjoyed seeing these sites.
Great cruise ship tour!

This is a great tour to do off a cruise ship. Just the right amount of time to get great photos. Perhaps stay away from politics.
Beautiful trip!

It was a wonderful trip, an amazing excursion that would make us minisome 😍 Besides the beautiful nature is the hospitality of the locals, the typical gastronomy of the province, the tranquility of nature is one of the things that we will not forget 😍
Interesting. A well-clear fountain with a considerable volume of water.

Location without any structure. A source of water that with the reflection of the South looks very blue, face super clean water. Interesting.

It doesn't seem like there are a whole lot of options of things to see in Sarande, so we were glad to do this tour. They were prompt in picking us up off the boat and taking us to the two sights. The sights were both interesting and our tour guide did a good job telling about them as well as life in Albania.
