Hot sulfur baths at Benja, a gorge full of caves and color-changing springs, then Langarica Canyon for hiking and possible swimming near Saranda.
“Absolutely amazing experience! This is really something you have to take the opportunity to experience, it is a memory for life. We got a super nice and professional guide, he showed us through the langarica canyon and we got to swim in three natural mineral baths. The walk through the canyon was on foot through water/mud/stone so swimming shoes are a must. Can't describe how nice it is. The guide was familiar and recommended us to leave earlier to avoid the heat and crowds of people, which was a stroke of genius. We had time to swim and hike for hours before the heat came and the crowds of people…”

Klajdi is a fantastic guide and driver + he takes the coolest pictures, who spends a lot of energy creating the right experience for the guests. My husband and I had the pleasure of him alone for a whole day and the trip to the hot springs and the beautiful Langarica Canyon in Përmet has been one of the highlights of our holiday.
