“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful day trip — highly recommended! We had a fantastic day on this tour with our guide, Ervin. The morning started at the Blue Eye, which was absolutely stunning and felt really peaceful. Then we headed to Sarandë for lunch — a nice chance to enjoy some local food by the coast. The highlight for me was Ksamil in the afternoon, where we had time to relax and enjoy the beautiful clear water and beach views. Ervin was friendly, informative, and kept everything well-organized without rushing us. A great mix of nature, sightseeing, and relaxation — definitely worth it!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 278 reviews · 4h 30m · from $45

Half-day Saranda tour with Lekursi Castle views and Blue Eye kayaking plus big free time for photos, swimming, and relaxing.

“The best part of the trip was the kayaking, hands down. That does not mean that the rest was boring or not good, but for me the kayaking is what makes this trip special. You get to enjoy the crystal clear, but cold waters which is particularly nice on a hot day. If I had just gone to Blue Eye for the spring, without the kayaking, I might have even been disappointed. Overall, this is a well-rounded tour. Ledjon as a guide knows exactly how much historical and political background information is needed, but can always provide more. As others have mentioned, parking near the starting point is difficult, so…”

Both Blue Eye and Gjirokaskra are great places to visit. Gjirokaskra was the highlight of our visit to Albania, fabulous town with plenty of time to explore and have a great lunch in one of the local restaurants. Clean, comfortable mini van and we were dropped off at our hotel on the way back to Saranda. Highly recommended.”

4x4 Jeep safari from Saranda to Lekuresi Castle, Porto Palermo Secret Beach, Qeparo, Piqeras and Albania’s Blue Eye, with English guide.

“The tour was amazing! Albania is so welcoming and coming from America we didn’t expect to love Albania so much. The staff was so kind and picked/drop off at the perfect location. My favorite part was probably the off road jeep experience which was a lot of fun! We all stayed together in a large group with 6 jeeps total. The Albanian family style lunch was very good and it was all homemade. We passed by and stopped at multiple places where it is important to go see. It is a very long day but it’s filled with a lot of fun! When I come back I will be doing…”

Full-day South Albania tour from Tirana or Durrës to Sarandë, Ksamil, and Blue Eye, with guide, boat ticket, and free Wi-Fi.

“Lovely trip to Sarande and back. It’s a long trip which last about 16 hours. You get to stay in Sarande or nearby areas for about 6 hours including lunch break. Enough to see the area and enjoy some times. For someone first time in America or traveling alone with small groups of friends, this is perfect trip to experience south Albania if you are not sure taking the local bus alone. Will definitely recommend”
