What To Expect

The Blue Eye

After around 3:30 hours of Driving we will reach Blue Eye of the south Albania. Located in a village near Finiq, the Blue Eye or Syri i Kaltër is a water spring that perfectly describes Albania’s natural beauty – breathtaking. Full of water so clear you can see all the way to the bottom and the sunlight makes it a magical place, especially to take some neat photos or have a quick swim. The spring is an easy hike from the parking area and you can refresh on a cafe nerby. Please note that from the Parking there is a 25 Minutes (one way) walk to the Blue Eye. For 3 euro Ekstra you can get a shuttle from a mini train provided from the administration.

Ksamil

According to many people, Ksamil is the most beautiful beach in the country and it has been named by a lot of magazines as “The Maldives of Europe” and rightly so. It is the perfect place to take some photos and liven up your Instagram profile as its vibrant blue colors and fresh seawater will leave an impression very few places can. Please note that during the summer season Ksamil gets very busy and difficult to navigate so the tour will be adjusted accordingly.

Saranda

Possibly the most well-known city in the Southern Riviera, Saranda is a top tourist attraction city because of its beautiful beach, Albanian-Greek mixed cuisine and modern resorts and bars you can find there. Full of Olive trees and a very calming nature it is the best place to have a nice lunch and conversation after a tiring, but yet finished, trip. A short stroll in the promenade of Saranda with the chance of having lunch.
