    Lekursi Castle (Kajala e Lëkurësit) is a castle on Lekursi Hill, just behind Saranda with an amazing view over the town and bay, making this the most popular and iconic viewpoint of Saranda. Inside the walls of Lekursi castle is a restaurant (Restorant Kalaja e Lekuresit) with an enormous outdoor terrace.
