• The Blue Eye - After around 3:30 hours of driving, we will arrive at the Blue Eye in southern Albania. Situated in a village near Finiq, the Blue Eye, or Syri i Kaltër, is a water spring that epitomizes Albania’s stunning natural beauty. The water is so clear you can see all the way to the bottom, and the sunlight creates a magical atmosphere, perfect for taking photos or enjoying a quick swim. The spring is an easy hike from the parking area, and there’s a nearby café where you can refresh yourself. Please note that from the parking area, it is a 25-minute walk (one way) to the Blue Eye. For an additional 3 euros, you can take a shuttle provided by a mini train from the administration.
• Ksamil - Many consider Ksamil to be the most beautiful beach in the country, often referred to as “The Maldives of Europe” by numerous magazines. It’s an ideal spot for photos to enhance your Instagram profile, with its vibrant blue waters and fresh seawater leaving a lasting impression. Please note that during the summer season, Ksamil becomes very busy and difficult to navigate, so the tour will be adjusted accordingly.
• Saranda - Arguably the most famous city in the Southern Riviera, Saranda is a top tourist destination known for its beautiful beach, a blend of Albanian-Greek cuisine, and modern resorts and bars. Surrounded by olive trees and serene nature, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a nice lunch and conversation after a tiring trip. A short stroll along the Saranda promenade offers the chance to have lunch.
• Kalaja e Lëkurësit - Located a few kilometers from Saranda, the Lekursi Castle offers a stunning panorama of the entire bay of Saranda and the island of Corfu. It’s also a great spot for a quick dessert or drink.
• The Castle of Porto Palermo - Porto Palermo is a bay a few kilometers south of Himarë along the Albanian Riviera. It is the most well-preserved garrison built by Ali Pasha in the region, and you can also find the Porto Palermo Castle, also known as the Ali Pasha Castle, constructed around the 19th century. Along the beautiful beach in the bay, you can also find the Porto Palermo Tunnel, a submarine base no longer used by the military, built in 1969 by Enver Hoxha as a home base for Fast Attack Crafts.
