Description
Begin your journey from Durrës or Golem, where you’ll be picked up from your accommodation and welcomed by your local guide. As you head south, the scenery gradually shifts into a stunning mix of coastal views, rolling hills, and traditional villages along the Albanian Riviera.
Your first major stop is in Sarandë, a vibrant seaside city overlooking the Ionian Sea. Here, you’ll have time to explore the promenade, take photos, and enjoy the lively atmosphere of one of Albania’s most popular destinations.
Continue towards Ksamil, known for its white sandy beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Often called the “Maldives of Albania,” Ksamil offers the perfect setting to relax, swim, or simply unwind by the sea. You’ll have free time to enjoy the beach, sip a drink by the shore, or take in the breathtaking island views just offshore.
Midday, choose a local restaurant where you can enjoy fresh seafood caught from the nearby waters, along with seasonal dishes, local cheeses, and refreshing drinks or local wine.
In the afternoon, head inland to visit the famous Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër), one of Albania’s most mesmerizing natural attractions. This deep natural spring, with its intense blue color and crystal-clear water, is surrounded by lush greenery and offers a peaceful, almost magical atmosphere. Walk along the wooden paths, take photos, and learn about the natural phenomenon behind its vivid colors.
After a full day of exploration, relax on the scenic drive back to Durrës or Golem, enjoying the coastal landscapes as the sun begins to set—bringing your unforgettable Albanian Riviera experience to a perfect close.
