  The drive south takes you through the heart of Albania, offering stunning views of the countryside, traditional villages, and the dramatic landscapes of the Ionian coast. As we approach the south, you’ll notice a shift in scenery, with lush olive groves, sparkling blue waters, and rugged mountain peaks in the distance. After a few hours of travel, we arrive at Ksamil, one of Albania’s most breathtaking seaside destinations.

Here, you’ll have free time to swim, sunbathe, and explore the area at your own pace.

  The Blue Eye

  Next, we journey inland to one of Albania’s most famous natural wonders, the Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër). Nestled in a lush forest, this stunning spring is a deep, crystal-clear water source with mesmerizing shades of blue and green. The exact depth of the spring remains a mystery, as divers have been unable to reach the bottom. As you arrive at this magical spot, take a walk along the wooden pathways leading to the spring, surrounded by untouched nature. Feel the cool air rising from the icy waters and admire the hypnotic beauty of the deep blue center. You can take incredible photos, enjoy a peaceful moment by the water, or visit the small café nearby for a drink with a view.
