Tour Itinerary
1️⃣ Lekuresi Castle
Our first destination is the Lekuresi Castle, a striking fortress dating back to the 16th century. Built in a square shape with two round towers positioned diagonally, the castle offers panoramic views of Saranda, the Ionian Sea, and the nearby Greek island of Corfu. 2️⃣ The Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër)
Next, we’ll visit the Blue Eye Spring, one of Albania’s most captivating natural wonders. The crystal-clear water bubbles up from deep within the earth, creating a mesmerizing deep blue “eye” surrounded by lush greenery.
3️⃣ Butrint National Park
Our final stop is the Butrint National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that showcases layers of history from ancient civilizations. Here, you’ll explore: The Roman theatre The Temple of Asclepius The aqueduct The Byzantine church
Strolling through the park feels like traveling through time — from the Hellenistic period to Roman and Byzantine eras — all set amidst tranquil natural scenery.
From here one can control the whole town as well as the islands of Ksamil.
Inhabited since prehistoric times, Buthrotum was a city of the Greek tribe of the Chaonians, later a Roman colony and a bishopric. Inhabited since prehistoric times, Butrint has been the site of a Greek colony, a Roman city and a bishopric. Following a period of prosperity under Byzantine administration, then a brief occupation by the Venetians, the city was abandoned in the late Middle Ages after marshes formed in the area. The present archaeological site is a repository of ruins representing each period in the city’s development.
Also very interesting the presence of a rare insect called "The Blue Dragonfly" The Blue Eye (Albanian: Syri i kaltër) is a water spring, natural phenomenon occurring in Sarande, Albania. A popular tourist attraction, the clear blue water of the river bubbles forth from a stunning, more than fifty-metre-deep pool. Divers have descended to fifty metres, but it is still unclear what the actual depth of the karst hole is.
