Visitors will have time to explore the city, enjoy its unique character, and experience one of Albania’s most important cultural destinations.

After visiting Gjirokastër, the tour continues to the famous Blue Eye, one of the most beautiful natural attractions in Albania. The Blue Eye is known for its crystal-clear water, deep blue color, and peaceful natural surroundings. Please note that there is approximately 2 km walking distance from the entrance to reach the main attraction, so comfortable shoes are recommended.

In the afternoon, arrival in Saranda, hotel check-in, and free time to enjoy the seaside atmosphere. Dinner will be served at the hotel, followed by a free evening in Saranda.

Day 2: Boat Trip from Saranda

After breakfast, departure from Saranda port for an optional boat or speedboat trip along the beautiful Ionian coast. This is one of the highlights of the Saranda Ksamil Gjirokastër Tours, offering travelers the chance to visit hidden beaches and coastal spots that are best reached by boat.

Please note that if weather conditions are not suitable for sailing, the boat trip may be cancelled by the authorities. In that case, beach time will take place near the hotel instead.
