Tour Gjirokaster, Blue Eye & Castello di Lekursi
Descrizione
L'affascinante centro storico di Gjirokaster è nella lista del Patrimonio Mondiale dell'UNESCO. In gran parte medievale, con alcune belle architetture da ammirare, che riflettono il ricco passato della città, è costruita su una collina che domina una valle e montagne. Questo interessante museo darà una buona impressione del modo di vivere in Albania durante il periodo ottomano. Sulla via del ritorno a Saranda, passeremo dal parco nazionale Syri I Kalter. In questa tranquilla foresta, cammineremo (15 min) fino alla sorgente cristallina chiamata Blue Eye, dove 900 m3 di acqua al minuto provengono dalle profondità della terra. Se il tempo lo consente, ci sarà una breve pausa caffè al ristorante accanto al fiume in rapida corrente nel parco, prima di tornare al porto di Saranda.

Itinerario
La prima tappa è a Gjirokaster (Città Vecchia) Definita dal suo castello, strade lastricate di calcare e scisto, imponenti case con tetto in ardesia e vista sulla valle della Drina, Gjirokastra è una magica città collinare descritta magnificamente dal più famoso autore albanese, Ismail Kadare (nato nel 1936), in Cronaca nella pietra. C'è stato un insediamento qui per 2500 anni, anche se in questi giorni sono le 600 case 'monumentali' di epoca ottomana in città che attirano i visitatori. Per gli albanesi, la città è anche sinonimo dell'ex dittatore Enver Hoxha, che nacque qui e assicurò che la città fosse relativamente ben conservata sotto il suo dominio, anche se oggi non è commemorato in alcun modo qui.
Seconda fermata: Blue Eye. Il famoso Occhio Azzurro dell’Albania (Syri i kaltër) è una sorgente d’acqua e un fenomeno naturale a cui ogni visitatore dovrebbe assistere. Una popolare attrazione turistica, il bellissimo fiume turchese chiaro stordisce con la sua bellezza. Situato vicino a Muzinë, nella contea di Valona in Albania, vorrai noleggiare un'auto per raggiungere il famoso Occhio Blu. Dopo aver seguito le indicazioni e attraversato il ponte (dove pagherete una piccola quota), vi imbatterete in un parcheggio e un sentiero che conduce all’Occhio Azzurro. Rimarrete prima incantati dalla fitta foresta circostante e dal bellissimo fiume azzurro che scorre attraverso questo paradiso naturale. Il Blue Eye si trova sotto un piccolo balcone di metallo che è stato costruito in modo da poter ottenere uno sguardo più da vicino. Anche se il nuoto è stato vietato tramite cartelli, non impedisce davvero alle persone di saltare direttamente nell'acqua gelida.
Terza tappa: Castello di Lekuresi Infine, esplorate il Castello di Lekuresi, che offre viste panoramiche sulla campagna circostante.

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.
We had an amazing day on the Gjirokastra, Blue Eye and Lekursi Castle tour. Our guide, Jona, was incredibly kind, friendly and knowledgeable. She shared a lot of interesting information throughout the day and made sure everyone felt comfortable and enjoyed the experience. Gjirokastra is absolutely beautiful and definitely worth visiting. The Blue Eye is a must-see, with its stunning crystal-clear water, and the panoramic view from Lekursi Castle is truly unforgettable. Everything was well organized, and the whole day was a lot of fun. Thank you, Jona, for making this tour such a special experience. We highly recommend it!
