A beautiful visit to the natural spring of Blue Eye, a hidden place between the mountains where you can enjoy a magnificent view of transparent water, that still can't be measured how deep it is. Even during summer the temperature of the water remains always 8-12 C. You can enjoy a nice coffee surrounded just by nature, the sound of the water and the feeling of being in magical place.

On the way back to the city, a short visit to Lekursi Castle, build by Sultan Suleiman the Great. A 360o view of all the region around, where your eyes can enjoy a magnificent sight-seen of a big island ( Corfu), a city ( Saranda), a lake ( Butrinti Lake), high mountains, new and old constructions, churches and mosques, a river ( Bitrica River). All in one from the top of this strategic place.

    Kalaja e Lëkurësit

    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. Although it can be busy in summer, it is definitely a great spot for dinner or drinks, especially around sunset. Sometimes there is also traditional folk music and dance for a truly Albanian experience.
