Description

Experience the magic of southern Albania on an afternoon journey from Ksamil or Saranda to the famous Blue Eye spring and the hilltop Lekursi Castle. Your adventure begins with a comfortable, air-conditioned ride through scenic landscapes, setting the tone for an unforgettable sunset tour.

Arriving at the Blue Eye, you can choose to stroll a tranquil forest trail or opt for a local train ride for a small fee. The entrance fee is payable on site, and your guide will assist with tickets and share fascinating stories about this natural wonder.
