Overview

Sail across the Ionian Sea to Saranda, Albania’s sun‑kissed coastal gem, and choose between two unforgettable ways to explore this fascinating land.
Option 1: The Blue Eye & Saranda at Leisure
Venture inland to the magical Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër), where crystal‑clear sapphire waters bubble up from deep underground, surrounded by lush greenery. Soak in the colours, breathe in the tranquillity and capture stunning photos before returning to Saranda for relaxed free time along the lively seaside promenade.
Option 2: Ancient Butrint & Saranda Walking Tour
Step back through 2,500 years of history at Butrint, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of extraordinary ruins – theatres, Roman baths, exquisite mosaics and a Venetian castle with sweeping views. Enjoy lunch back in Saranda, then discover the town on a guided walk.

Q: Will I get seasick on Albania Cruise from Corfu?
