It was a very nice experience. We had the last tour at 4:00 p.m. and had a super friendly guide. Since we were the last tour, we could take our time and enjoy everything. We were a group of 5 people plus the guide. This was great because there weren't that many people and we could have a great conversation. We highly recommend the tour; it's well worth it. After the tour was over, the guide even drove us to our hotel instead of the designated drop-off point. This was very kind.

Full description

Your tour begins at 16:30with a scenic drive from Saranda or Ksamil to the famous Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër), Road to go take one hour. Upon arrival, you'll have the choice to either walk the 1.5–2 km trail through the lush forest or take the local train ride for a small extra cost (600 Lek round trip). Entrance to the Blue Eye is 50 Lek per person, payable on site.

Once inside, you'll explore the magical Blue Eye spring — a stunning natural phenomenon with crystal-clear, turquoise water bubbling from deep underground. We'll stop at 2–3 different viewpoints for amazing photo opportunities and take in the peaceful sounds of nature all around.

After soaking in the views, we’ll stop at the local café by the spring, where you can relax with a coffee or drink in this serene setting.

Next, we head to Lekursi Castle, just a 30-minute drive away. This hilltop fortress offers panoramic views of Saranda, the Ionian Sea, and Corfu. We’ll explore the castle grounds and settle in just in time for the breathtaking golden hour — perfect for stunning sunset photos and a relaxing drink as the sun dips behind the hills.
