★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 18 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $98

A 4 to 5 hour Saranda day trip with a vineyard raki tasting, a walk around the Blue Eye spring park, and Ottoman castle views.

“A besutiful part of southern Albania we were glad to see with our exceptional guide Klajdi. The drive to it was a beautiful glimpse into the Albanian landscape. Blue Eye is fascinating; the only sad part: not all tourists follow the signs of this beautiful but fragile ecosystem. The tasting was great and we got a hint how raki and local products are made. The castle has truly a nice view especially at sunset but it can get crowdy.”
