Itinerary
We will explore the National Park of “Blue Eye” - an attractive tourist place, located in the village of Muzinë, near the national road Delvinë - Gjirokastër. It’s a very picturesque area, where crystal clear water gushes out from within the mountain Mali i Gjërë. This actual spring is the largest and a most interesting source among the other 18 springs that flow from Mali i Gjërë. It has been declared a Natural Monument and has oval shape similar to the shape of an eye.The spring has great depth, which goes up to 50m, and it’s surrounded by dense and lush vegetation. All in all, the area offers a great time out for adults, as well as for children.
On this tour we will explore The Fortress of Lekuresi, believed to have been built in 1537, when Sultan Sulejmani attacked Corfu. The castle is located within the ruins of Lekuresi village, on the top of the hill, above the city of Saranda. It really is a strategic position where you can see the entire bay of Saranda, the road that leads to Butrint and the islands of Ksamil. In addition, you can also see the Island of Corfu. A place rich in history, and a fantastic view.

There were so many mishaps with this tour I do not know where to begin. The driver was given the wrong time and did not meet us at the port. If it had not been for Port security making calls for us we would have given up on the tour altogether. When he was located we had to walk 10 minutes to his car. He did not have our names on a display card or any ID saying he was with the tour company. Last minute messages were sent but the port has no Wi-Fi and we were off the ship. We did finally take the tour but the driver, although he was nice and polite, had little to no information about our stops. The company was very nice during the booking process and the Blue eye was beautiful, and worth the ride but book with some else.
Hello dear! I'm sorry for your energy. We have been communicating with you all the time by e-mail. We have sent you a message with the driver's number and contact details. It is not the agency's fault... that you were not available... and you not had internet. I sent the message about two hours before the tour.. I am copying it here.: Hello! Your guide for today is Marsildo. You will meet at the outer port gate. Your name will be written on the paper. His phone number is: +355692295495. You can also contact him on WhatsApp.
Our tour was good we arrived on a cruise ship with limited time to visit these attractions. Our guide was very informative and we enjoyed seeing these sites.
Thank ju dear!
This is a great tour to do off a cruise ship. Just the right amount of time to get great photos. Perhaps stay away from politics.
Thanks dear !Thank you very much! Our task is your satisfaction!
Amazing place! Had a blast with my family. Blue Eye was so nice and from the fortress of Lekuresi you can see the hole city of Sarande.

It doesn't seem like there are a whole lot of options of things to see in Sarande, so we were glad to do this tour. They were prompt in picking us up off the boat and taking us to the two sights. The sights were both interesting and our tour guide did a good job telling about them as well as life in Albania.
Thank you so much for your kind review. And, we are just as glad, here at Tea Tours, that you also took the opportunity to enjoy your tour with us, to see some of the beautiful local sites, just outside of Saranda. We hope you'll come visit us here in Albania again! Wishing you all the best.
