Description
Begin your adventure with a visit to the stunning Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër) — a crystal-clear natural spring nestled in a lush forest. Marvel at the deep blue waters fed by an underground river, and capture the perfect photo in this peaceful, scenic setting.
Continue to the enchanting hillside city of Gjirokastra, known for its stone rooftops, Ottoman-era architecture, and cobbled streets. Explore the imposing Gjirokastra Castle, wander through the charming Old Bazaar, and learn about the city’s rich history at the Ethnographic Museum. Pause for a delicious lunch at a traditional local restaurant.
Finally, visit Lekuresi Castle, built in 1537 by the Ottoman sultan Suleiman I the Magnificent. Admire the square plan of the castle, which forms a large open space in the center, a sort of terrace from which it is possible to have an extraordinary view.
