Description
Join us on a journey through some of Albania’s most spectacular landscapes and destinations. Starting with an early morning pickup from Tirana, Durrës, or Golem, you’ll travel south through picturesque countryside, dramatic mountain scenery, and stunning coastal panoramas.
Along the way, your guide will share fascinating stories about Albania’s history, culture, and traditions, turning the journey itself into part of the experience.
Sarandë – The Gateway to the Albanian Riviera
Our first stop is the beautiful coastal city of Sarandë. Situated along the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea, Sarandë offers stunning views of the coastline and the nearby Greek island of Corfu. Enjoy a short break to stretch your legs, capture memorable photos, and soak in the atmosphere of Albania’s most famous seaside city.
Ksamil – Paradise on the Albanian Coast
Next, we continue to Ksamil, widely regarded as the crown jewel of the Albanian Riviera. Unlike many tours that simply pass through, you’ll have ample free time to truly experience this stunning destination.
Swim in the crystal-clear turquoise waters, unwind on the white-sand beaches, or explore the small islands scattered just offshore. For those looking to make the most of their visit, optional activities such as kayaking and boat rentals are available. You may also choose to enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the beachfront restaurants, where fresh seafood and spectacular sea views await.
The Blue Eye – Albania’s Natural Wonder
In the afternoon, we head inland to visit the famous Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër), one of Albania’s most mesmerizing natural attractions.
Surrounded by lush forest, this remarkable spring is known for its vivid blue color and extraordinary clarity. Follow the scenic walking paths through the tranquil landscape and admire the mysterious depths of the spring, which continue to fascinate visitors and scientists alike.
With water flowing from deep underground at a constant temperature of around 10°C year-round, the Blue Eye is one of the country’s most unique natural phenomena and an unforgettable highlight of your journey.
Return Journey
After exploring the Blue Eye, sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenic drive back. You’ll return to your original pickup location in the evening, bringing home unforgettable memories of Albania’s stunning southern coastline.
