Blue Eye (Syri i kaltër) is a water spring and natural phenomenon that each visitor should witness. You’ll be enchanted by the surrounding dense forest and the beautiful light turquoise river that flows through this natural paradise. It is more than 50-metre deep and the water is very cold.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the old town is famous for being a well-preserved city of authentic architecture and its fortress overlooking the entire city, the old houses lean against the slopes of the hills with their beautiful old wooden facades. Enjoy its castle, the massive open-air bazaar as well as its delicious regional cuisine.
Head off to some virgin beaches, like Kakome, Krorez or the islands of Ksamil. Some of the best beaches can only be reached by boat, so a boat trip is a must-do when you’re in Saranda.
