What you can expect

Step off the beaten track and explore the raw beauty of southern Albania on a full-day small-group tour from Saranda. Designed for curious travellers, this experience blends nature, culture, and slow travel into one unforgettable journey.

The day begins with a relaxing drive inland, where you’ll soon reach the legendary Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër). Surrounded by wild forest and birdsong, this natural spring shimmers with mesmerising shades of blue — and its depth remains a mystery to this day.

After soaking in the atmosphere, the journey continues along the Albanian Riviera, where you’ll pass sleepy villages, coastal cliffs, and vibrant green landscapes. Along the way, your guide will offer the option to stop at scenic overlooks, peaceful countryside spots, and local places of interest.

Whether you're capturing panoramic photos, listening to local stories, or enjoying a traditional lunch (optional), this flexible tour gives you space to experience southern Albania your way — no rush, no crowds, just pure exploration.

Perfect for photographers, nature lovers, and travellers seeking hidden gems beyond the tourist trail.
