Overview

Start your day with a scenic morning departure from Saranda, heading inland through the beautiful landscapes of southern Albania. Enjoy a relaxing drive past traditional villages and along the Vjosa Valley, one of Europe’s last wild rivers.

Your first stop is at the Permet Thermal Baths (Benja), a peaceful natural oasis surrounded by mountains and greenery. The mineral-rich waters, with temperatures between 26°C–32°C, are known for their therapeutic benefits. You’ll have free time to relax in the warm pools, take photos, and enjoy the unique atmosphere next to the Ottoman bridge and Vjosa River.

A short walk leads you to the stunning Langarica Canyon, where you can explore narrow rock formations, crystal-clear waters, and untouched nature. This light adventure is perfect for walking, swimming, and discovering one of Albania’s hidden gems.

Kelcyre

Permet, Natural AttractionsKËLCYRË GORGE This magnificent gorge lies between Këlcyrë and Dragot with a length of 13 km. It forms a deep canyon with a depth up to 1,000 meters. The Mezhgoran and Dragot caves are located on the east side of the gorge. Along the river, tourists can admire many underground springs, including the Black Water of Këlcyrë, which springs from the Vjosa River creating a variety of colors. The karst springs called the “Rrepet of Këlcyrë,” which originate from underground rivers, are particularly beautiful, flowing from a height of about 80 m from the Vjosa to create magnificent waterfalls.

Benja Thermal Baths

The thermal waters of Benja (Bënjë) are natural sulfur springs with water rising up through deep tectonic cracks. In total there are 6 springs with each having water following a natural way up into a stone bath. You can find these thermal baths on both sides alongside the Lengarica Canyon. The biggest and most famous bath is next to the iconic Kadiut Bridge at the start of the Lengarica Canyon, so obviously, this is also the busiest one. You can find the other, smaller baths further up in the canyon.
