Butrint National Park

We start at Butrint National Park, Albania’s most iconic site, and the first to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.I’ve guided here for 15 years and even helped with excavations, getting to know this place well. We’ll begin at the Sanctuary of Asklepios, where ancient healing took place, and then move on to the Theater, Roman Baths, and the Gymnasium. After that, we’ll see the beautiful Baptistry mosaics and the Great Basilica. We’ll pass through the Monumental Gates and finish with stunning views from the Venetian Castle. There is no rush here, just a chance to truly feel the past. Relax, enjoy the stories, and connect with history along the way.

Ksamil Beach

Ksamil- The Postcard Made RealWe’ll take a 30-minute pause in Ksamil, just long enough to soak in the postcard beauty of this coastal gem. With its powder-white beaches, crystal-clear shallows, and the tiny green islands scattered just offshore, Ksamil feels almost too perfect to be real. It’s the kind of place where time slows down—you’ll have a chance to snap a few unforgettable photos, breathe in the salty breeze, and maybe dip your toes in the Ionian Sea. Even in a short stop, the magic of Ksamil leaves an impression

The Blue Eye

The Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër) is a natural wonder, a karstic spring with waters so clear and deep they seem to glow with every shade of blue and green imaginable.This is a place where the earth’s secrets bubble up to the surface, and the colors shift before your eyes, drawing you in like an artist’s brushstroke.

Lekuresi Castle

Lekursi Castle stands proudly 250 meters above sea level, offering an unparalleled 360-degree view of the entire region around Saranda and the Ionian coast. From this hilltop fortress, you’ll have a sweeping panorama that stretches out over the sparkling waters, the hills, and the coastline. It’s not just about the castle—this vantage point gives you a chance to see it all: the Blue Eye, the ancient ruins of Butrint, and the shores of Ksamil, all from above. You’ll feel like you’re standing on top of the world, with the history of the region and the natural beauty laid out before you, ready to be absorbed. It’s the perfect way to wrap up your journey—taking in the whole picture, from the land to the sea, and everything in between.
