I had a fantastic experience on this day trip, visiting the Blue Eye first, followed by Lekursi Castle and then Ksamil Beach. The Blue Eye was absolutely beautiful, with plenty of time to walk around, take in the scenery and enjoy the natural surroundings. From there, we continued to Lekursi Castle, where we were rewarded with a stunning panoramic view, including the beautiful island of Corfu. Our final stop was Ksamil Beach, which also included a speedboat ride to and from the other side of the island. We didn’t get particularly close to the famous Hand of Ksamil, but we were able to view it from the boat, which was still a lovely experience. Afterwards, there was plenty of free time to eat, relax and swim for those who wanted to. It is a long day, mainly because of the early start, multiple pickup points in Tirana, Durrës and Golem, and the heavy traffic on the journey back. However, I definitely felt it was worth it to experience all three places in one day, as well as passing the Vjosa River along the way. A big thank you to our guide, Aurel Qosja, who was very knowledgeable, patient and enthusiastic throughout the trip. He was always happy to answer questions and made sure everyone was included and comfortable. A special thank you also to our driver for getting us safely to and from all the destinations. A long day, but a memorable one and definitely worth doing if you want to see some of the highlights of southern Albania in one trip! 🇦🇱
