Tour Gjirokastra, Blue Eye y Castillo Lekursi
Descripción
El fascinante centro antiguo de Gjirokaster está en la lista del Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO. De origen mayoritariamente medieval, con una hermosa arquitectura que refleja el rico pasado de la ciudad, está construida sobre una colina con vistas a un valle y a las montañas. Este interesante museo dará una buena impresión de la forma de vida en Albania durante el período otomano. De regreso a Saranda pasaremos por el parque nacional Syri i Kalter. En este tranquilo bosque, caminaremos (15 min) hasta el manantial de agua cristalina llamado Ojo Azul, de donde brotan 900 m3 de agua por minuto desde las profundidades de la tierra. Si el tiempo lo permite, habrá una breve pausa para tomar café en el restaurante junto al río de corriente rápida en el parque, antes de regresar al puerto de Saranda.

Itinerario
La primera parada es en Gjirokaster (Ciudad Vieja) Definido por su castillo, caminos pavimentados con piedra caliza y esquisto, imponentes casas con techos de pizarra y vistas al valle del Drina, Gjirokastra es una mágica ciudad en la ladera descrita maravillosamente por el autor más famoso de Albania, Ismail Kadare (n 1936), en Crónica en piedra. Ha habido un asentamiento aquí durante 2500 años, aunque en estos días son las 600 casas "monumentales" de la época otomana en la ciudad las que atraen a los visitantes. Para los albaneses, la ciudad también es sinónimo del ex dictador Enver Hoxha, que nació aquí y aseguró que la ciudad se conservara relativamente bien bajo su gobierno, aunque hoy no se le conmemora de ninguna manera aquí.
Segunda parada: Blue Eye. El famoso Ojo Azul de Albania (Syri i kaltër) es un manantial de agua y un fenómeno natural que cada visitante debe presenciar. Una atracción turística popular, el hermoso río turquesa claro aturde con su belleza. Situado cerca de Muzinë, en el condado albanés de Vlorë, querrá alquilar un coche para llegar al famoso Ojo Azul. Después de seguir las señales y cruzar el puente (donde pagarás una pequeña tarifa), te encontrarás con un lugar de estacionamiento y un sendero que conduce al Ojo Azul. Primero te encantará el denso bosque circundante y el hermoso río azul claro que fluye a través de este paraíso natural. El Ojo Azul se encuentra debajo de un pequeño balcón de metal que fue construido para que pueda ver más de cerca. A pesar de que la natación ha sido prohibida a través de señales, realmente no impide que las personas salten directamente al agua helada.
Tercera parada: Castillo de Lekuresi Por último, explore el castillo de Lekuresi, que ofrece vistas panorámicas del campo circundante.

Our tour guide Jona was absolutely brilliant!!! She was such a wonderful, experienced gal who made our day extra special! Jona is very passionate about Albania and the beautiful sights we visited today. We learned so much from her, she is a great asset to Leke Tours! THANK YOU!!!
The tour was very well organized. Our guide and chauffeur were very reliable and all meet-ups were on time which is something I value a lot. Our guide Jona knew a lot not just about history but of the Albanian society and the nation’s livelihood in general. It was a pleasure listening to her and she also offered some valuable insights into what the new (post-Communist) generation of Albanians are like and what they think about society and politics. The itinerary was as had been chosen by us (three stops) but by the time we got to Lekuresi castle, our family (two adults and two under aged children), was exhausted. The weather was very warm that day so that played a major role. I can warmly recommend this tour!
Everything perfect with this tour, Jona's kindness and his clarity in explaining every detail of everything we were seeing, beautiful places and adequate time for everything, excellent everything
It was really a top experience! Both the tour guide and the bus driver were incredibly friendly and helpful. They took their time for everyone, were very patient and gave clear explanations. The atmosphere in the group was super cozy, partly thanks to our tour guide Jonah, who really made it something special. Everything was well organized and you immediately felt welcome. This tour is definitely recommended. If you are in Sarandë, you really can't miss this! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Nice combination of activities. Great transport with AC. Tourguide Jonah does this every day, but still remains enthusiastic. The time in Gjirokaster is a bit short if you want to go to the fortress and quite long if you don't.
The tour was great. Jona was a very knowledgeable and engaging tour guide and made the experience very interesting. There was a good amount of free time to explore the sites within the overall itinerary, and we managed to fit a lot into the day.
Very nice tour , well worth way to spend the day a must
If you are in Sarande I would recommend Leka Tours. They took me to Gjirokaster, Blue Eye, and Lekursi castle. The tour guide was very friendly and welcoming. She is extremely knowledgeable. I learnt a lot about the history, geography and culture of Albania from her. The tour was educational and informative. Also the customer service is very good. I made the booking last minute, Leka Tours responded quick and was able to give me a tour the next day. Thank you Leka Tours for making this trip memorable. Also a special big thank you to the lovely Tour Guide for showing me the beauty of Albania. I will always remember this trip and remember your great hospitality.
The duration of the tour is 7 hours or more not 5 to 6 as advertised. This makes it difficult to use as a shore expedition unless your ship is staying very late. The tour itself is fine but the van rides are quite long and the tour guide says little during these. The stops are enjoyable but far from outstanding. Our tour guide was friendly and helpful when we needed special arrangements for drop off.
Super nice day with beautiful views, plenty of time and great guiding 🙏 The tour took about 7 hours and we had time for both city, nature and castle.
