Vlorë: Blue Eye, Ksamil Beach & Saranda Day Trip

Begin your day with a comfortable departure from the Tourist Solutions office in Vlorë and enjoy a scenic 2-hour drive through the breathtaking landscapes of southern Albania as you head toward some of the most extraordinary natural and coastal destinations the country has to offer.

Your first stop is the legendary Blue Eye — one of Albania's most stunning and mysterious natural wonders. A short walk of approximately 1.3 kilometers leads you to this extraordinary spring, where impossibly clear water bubbles up from an unknown depth through a perfectly round pool of vivid blue and green — one of those rare natural places that genuinely takes your breath away. Enjoy free time to explore, take photos, and immerse yourself in the surrounding forested nature.

From the Blue Eye, head to the beautiful seaside village of Ksamil — one of the most beloved beach destinations on the entire Albanian Riviera — where you will spend 4 glorious hours enjoying the crystal-clear turquoise waters and white sandy beaches that have made this place famous across Europe. Swim, sunbathe, explore, or enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the many excellent local restaurants found right on the beach.

Before returning to Vlorë, make a short stop in Sarandë — the sparkling jewel of the Albanian Ionian coast — where you can stroll along the beautiful promenade, grab a coffee, take in the view of the Ionian Sea and Corfu in the distance, or simply relax by the sea. Please bring swimwear, a change of clothes, and a reusable water bottle. Motion sickness prevention is recommended for those who are sensitive to winding mountain roads. Not suitable for people with insect allergies.
