Ksamil
  • 4h
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. Known for its powdery white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters, Ksamil is often compared to the Maldives of the Balkans. Here, you’ll have free time to swim, sunbathe, and explore the area at your own pace. Included in the price is the Boat Tour to Ksamil Islands
Saranda
  • 1h
After a relaxing time in Ksamil, we head to Saranda, a vibrant coastal city often called the "Gateway to the Albanian Riviera." While we won’t be stopping for long, you’ll have the chance to capture a few stunning photos of Saranda’s picturesque bay and charming promenade. Your guide will share a brief history of the city, which has seen Greek, Roman, and Ottoman influences over the centuries.
The Blue Eye
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
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 mesmerising 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 centre. You can take incredible photos, enjoy a peaceful moment by the water, or visit the small café nearby for a drink with a view
