Itinerary

Admission not included125 min

Butrint National Park is the most impressive UNESCO Heritage site in Albania. Throughout history, Butrint was a Greek city, a Roman city and a Biscopic. What makes Butrint special is the unique combination of archaeological ruins, which are surrounded by water and nature. The nature has integrated itself in the historical sight, which makes it a beautiful place to visit.

80 min

Ksamil, which is one of the most attractive areas of southern Albania. Therefore, the Albanian people describe Ksamil beach as "the pearl of the Albanian Riviera". Without a doubt, Ksamil beach is the prettiest beach in Albania.

Admission not included90 min

The Blue Eye of Albania is one of the most beautiful places to see in Albania. The Blue Eye is a natural fresh water spring. The natural spring pumps bright blue water to the surface. The Blue Eye has become a touristic attraction, since the water of the spring is a magical blue colour. Moreover, the spring resembles a human eye. The dark underwater cave looks like the black pupil of a human eye. And the blue water resembles the iris of a human eye.

90 min

Nestled at the top of the hill and overlooking Saranda is Lekursi Castle. The views overlooking Saranda and even into the farmland nearby, are stunning and well worth the trip. Thanks to that unbeatable view, it’s one of the best Saranda attractions that you can see! It’s of course one of Saranda’s top sunset spots.

History, nature and adventure

We had an amazing day out with Aris. All items on the itinerary are well worth it. My personal favourite was walking through the Albanian mountainside and visiting the Blue Eye spring. Would highly recommend both the trip and Aris!

Amazing Tour

The places on the tour were amazing and not to be missed. But more importantly was the enthusiasm and professionalism of our tour guide, Elnejda. She was extremely knowledgeable and made the entire day smooth, interesting, and fun. Plus she was able to give us insights into the history and culture of Albania. She definitely made this our happiest day in Albania!

Day out in Saranda Aris Travel&T Butrint park/Blue eye/ Lekursi castle

My friend and I were blessed to be taken on adventure with Aris Travel & Tours, our tour guide Elnejda was more than we could possibly ask for. We went from exploring the history of the Butrint Archeological Park, to the vibrant and exhilarating Blue Eye in Saranda before ending the trip with the beautiful views from and of Lekursi Castle. Elnejda was the thing that brought everything together for us, we felt very comfortable from the first greeting and that perpetuated throughout. Being a very down to earth, patient and knowledgable guide. If we didn’t see the beauty of the city of Saranda before the tour, we absolutely do now, and hope to return. You can leave assured that you will very probably leave having no unanswered questions, great pictures and a day to treasure to the very end! Faleminderit shume Elnejda! The pleasure was absolutely ours!

All the sights around Saranda in one.

This trip allowed us to visit all of the key sites around Saranda without the hassle (and time) of Albanian buses. We ended up being the only ones on the tour and Elnejda took us around to each site in the company branded car which was comfortable with AC. We were also provided with a bottle of water and Elnejda went out of her way to show us how to get tickets for the bus back to Tirana for the next day and recommend a delicious spot for Gyros for dinner. I will say if you are looking for information on the Butrint NP, this is not the tour for you, Elnejda guided us around tge Park but didn't provide a lot of info, the museum at the end has some great info in it.

Aris Tours attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the tour. From seamless logistics to comfortable transportation, they ensured that the entire experience was hassle-free. I must commend Aris tour for their commitment to sustainable tourism practices. They emphasized the importance of preserving Butrint's natural and cultural heritage, encouraging responsible behavior among the visitors. This dedication to sustainability resonated with me, and I appreciate their efforts in protecting this historical treasure for future generations. In conclusion, my experience with Aris Tours and the Butrint tour was truly exceptional. The combination of a knowledgeable guide, the mesmerizing historical site, and the agency's commitment to sustainability made it a trip to remember. I highly recommend Aris Tours to anyone looking to explore the captivating world of Butrint and uncover the secrets of its rich history.
