What To Expect
The Blue Eye
What makes the Blue Eye so fascinating is that divers have attempted to descend into its turquoise waters to calculate its depth several times without succeeding. Thus, it remains a mystery how deep the Blue Eye is, but the deepest point the divers have reached is 50 m (164 ft) deep. Syri I Kalter (which is Albanian for “Blue Eye”) is a unique place that you should definitely add to your Albanian itinerary.
Kantina E Veres Isak
Kantina e Verës ISAK offers an incredible experience of Albanian hospitality with a quaint and charming vineyard setting. Visitors are treated to a tour of the wine production, and olive oil before tasting raki, fresh vegetables, cheeses etc

Good trip but over priced

3.00Had a lovely tour guide who was very accommodating, however we were all very surprised about having to pay £15 extra on top of the £50 for the tour for the wine tasting when it was advertised as a wine tasting tour, although it did mention alcohol not included the title of the tour was misleading and overall not sure why we paid £50 each to get driven to two places.
Very good
