• Kalaja e Lëkurësit - When visiting Saranda, a stop at Lëkursi Castle is highly recommended. This fortress, dating back to the 16th century, features a square layout with two round towers positioned diagonally. Its strategic location on a hill approximately 300 meters high offers stunning views of Saranda, the Butrint Lagoon, and even the island of Corfu, making it a favored tourist spot. Additionally, within the fortress, there is a renowned bar and restaurant in Saranda, providing the most beautiful sunset views.
• The Blue Eye - Albania’s renowned Blue Eye (Syri i kaltër) is a water spring and natural wonder that every visitor should experience. A popular tourist attraction, the stunning light turquoise river captivates with its beauty. Visitors will first be enchanted by the surrounding dense forest and the beautiful light blue river flowing through this natural paradise. The Blue Eye is situated beneath a small metal balcony, allowing for a closer view. It is a water spring with exceptionally clear light blue water bubbling in a pool over 50 meters deep. The clarity of the water is mesmerizing, allowing one to see straight to the bottom. Divers have attempted to explore the Blue Eye to determine its true depth, but the extent of the mysterious hole remains unknown.
  (Note: A 30-minute walk is required to reach the destination, so it’s advisable to bring a bottle of water.)
