Start your day with an early pickup from Tirana, Durrës, or Golem and travel comfortably towards southern Albania with a professional guide sharing interesting facts along the way.

After a short break, arrive in Saranda, one of Albania’s most beautiful coastal cities on the Ionian Sea. Following a brief introduction from the guide, enjoy 1 hour of free time to stroll along the promenade, relax by the sea, enjoy a coffee with a view, or capture memorable photos.

Continue to Ksamil, famous for its white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. Here, you'll have around 2 hours of free time to swim, sunbathe, enjoy lunch by the sea, or simply experience the Mediterranean atmosphere. Before your free time, the guide will explain all available options and assist you if needed. You may also choose an optional boat trip to the nearby islands.

Your final stop is the Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër), one of Albania’s most spectacular natural wonders. Surrounded by lush greenery, this famous spring is known for its deep turquoise waters and mysterious depth. Enjoy 1.5 hours of free time to explore the park, admire the spring, take photos, or relax at a nearby café.

Utflykten ändrades kl 22:30 kvällen innan till att bli en resa till Ksamil, Sardena och Blue eye. Samma tid fick också reda på att vi inte kunde bli upphämtade med pick-up utan fick ta taxi 40 min för att bli hämtade. När vi skulle hämtas vill de ändra plats igen. Guiden duktig och kunnig men helhetsintrycket blir ju dåligt när man inte får det man har bokat och betalat för- varken resmål eller service blev rätt!

L'excursion Gjyrokastra-Ardenica a été remplacée au dernier moment par une autre : Gjyrokastra-Ksamil-Saranda ; j'aurais préféré la première car je ne suis pas fan de la plage ; c'était pas mal , mais nous n'avons eu droit qu'à 55 minutes à Gjyrokastra ( très bien mais beaucoup trop court ) alors que nous sommes restés 2 heures et demi à Ksamil ou je n'avais donc pas grand chose à faire .
