Tour Gjirokaster,Blue Eye & Lekursi Castle
Tổng quát
Vé di động
The fascinating old centre of Gjirokaster is on UNESCO’s World Heritage list. Largely medieval, with some lovely architecture to admire, reflecting the town’s wealthy past, it is built on a hill overlooking a valley and mountains. This interesting museum will give a good impression of the way of living in Albania during the Ottoman period.
On our way back to Saranda, we will pass from the national park Syri I Kalter. In this peaceful forest, we will walk (15 min) to the crystal clear spring called Blue Eye, where 900 m3 water per minute is coming from deep down the earth. If time permits, there will be a short coffee break at the restaurant next to the fast streaming river in the park, before heading back to the port of Saranda.

Gjirokaster
First stop is in Gjirokaster (Old Town) Defined by its castle, roads paved with chunky limestone and shale, imposing slate-roofed houses and views out to the Drina Valley, Gjirokastra is a magical hillside town described beautifully by Albania's most famous author, Ismail Kadare (b 1936), in Chronicle in Stone. There has been a settlement here for 2500 years, though these days it's the 600 'monumental' Ottoman-era houses in town that attract visitors. For Albanians, the town is also synonymous with former dictator Enver Hoxha, who was born here and ensured the town was relatively well preserved under his rule, though he is not memorialised in any way here today.
The Blue Eye
Second Stop: Blue Eye. Albania’s famous Blue Eye (Syri i kaltër) is a water spring and natural phenomenon that each visitor should witness. A popular tourist attraction, the beautiful light turquoise river stuns with its beauty. Located near Muzinë in Albania’s Vlorë County, you’ll want to rent a car to get to the famous Blue Eye. After following the signs and crossing the bridge (where you’ll pay a small fee), you’ll come across a parking spot and a footpath that leads to the Blue Eye. You’ll first be enchanted by the surrounding dense forest and the beautiful light blue river that flows through this natural paradise. The Blue Eye is located beneath a small metal balcony that was built so you can get a closer look. Even though swimming has been prohibited via signs, it doesn’t really prevent people from jumping right into the ice-cold water.

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) The experience with Leka Tours was absolutely amazing! The tour Gjirokastër – Blue Eye – Lekurs tour was perfectly organized. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, sharing stories and legends of the area in a lively and engaging way. Visiting the Blue Eye was magical – the deep blue springs and crystal-clear water used by locals were unforgettable. I felt refreshed and renewed being near the springs. The hilly terrain made the walk challenging but very interesting, and the natural surroundings were simply stunning. Lekurs and Gjirokastër were also fantastic – the combination of nature, history, and culture made this tour unforgettable. The trip was professionally organized, clear, and comfortable. I would highly recommend Leka Tours to anyone looking for a beautiful and authentic experience in Albania. A truly worthwhile adventure!

5.00Great value and friendly tour delivered everything promised in the advertisement. It was a very relaxed day with guide Jona (and driver Joni). Jona has great English-language ability and was able to clearly answer all of our many questions while touring the sites in a relaxed way. March was a great time to visit these sites as everything was uncrowded and picturesque.
100% recommendation

5.00We had to change our original plans for the day and were very spontaneous about the tour - actually too late. Nevertheless, we passed the office to see if the tour had already begun. There we arrived a quarter of an hour late. Immediately, the employee called his colleagues. To make the tour possible, the tour group came by again and took us with them. We had a wonderful tour, saw a lot and were happy to get an insight into the country and its history in this way. We didn’t have to worry about transport and organisation, but we were able to discuss details individually time and again. We are impressed by the hospitality and warmth we have experienced!
