What you can expect

  • Begin with an early morning pickup from Tirana, Durrës, or Golem. Sit back and relax as you travel through Albania’s picturesque countryside, winding mountain roads, and stunning coastal scenery while your guide shares fascinating insights into the country’s history, culture, and traditions.

    Your first stop is the breathtaking Vjosa River, one of Europe’s last wild, free-flowing rivers. Take in the untouched natural beauty, admire the turquoise waters, stretch your legs, and capture unforgettable photos.

    Continue to the famous Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër), a spectacular natural spring with crystal-clear, sapphire-blue water rising from deep underground. Walk along shaded forest paths, enjoy the peaceful surroundings, and discover one of Albania’s most iconic natural wonders.

    Next, arrive in Ksamil, often called the “Albanian Maldives” for its white sandy beaches and crystal-clear Ionian waters. Enjoy free time to swim, relax, have lunch at a seaside restaurant (not included), or join an optional boat tour (extra fee) to discover hidden coves, secluded beaches, and the beautiful islands just off the coast.

    The journey continues to Saranda, Albania’s vibrant seaside city. Stroll along the lively promenade, enjoy a coffee with panoramic sea views, browse local shops, or simply soak up the Mediterranean atmosphere before beginning the scenic drive back.

    After a day filled with breathtaking landscapes, coastal beauty, and unforgettable experiences, return comfortably to your original pickup point in the evening.
