From Durres/Golem: Ksamil, Blue Eye & Lekursi Castle Day Trip

This day trip from Durres or Golem covers three of southern Albania's most visited sites in a single itinerary. The route takes in Ksamil, a coastal village on the Ionian Sea near the Greek border, the Blue Eye natural spring near Saranda, a karst pool known for its deep blue colour and constant water temperature, and Lekursi Castle, an Ottoman-era fortification above Saranda with views across the bay and towards Corfu. For more options in the region, see things to do in Tirana and the wider Albanian itinerary listings.

Tickets typically include transport and a guide for the duration; meals, entry fees to individual sites, and personal expenses are generally not included.
