A long but smooth day trip from Corfu to Sarandë and UNESCO Butrint, with guided coastal bus touring and optional ruins plus lunch.

“I did not realize the voucher was not all I needed. I never got information about a boarding card. I was a little frazzled for a minute, but it all worked out & Yotta ( I'm not sure of the spelling) came through for me & handed me a boarding pass. You have an excellent team. They took very good care of us. I'm not a history buff, but I thoroughly enjoyed everything I learned today. Thank you, Ursula Hawkins”

Six-hour Saranda day trip with Lekuresi Castle views, Blue Eye spring, UNESCO Butrint ruins, and Ksamil swim time, with port pickup.

“The day trip was great, even though it rained most of the day—something none of us can control anyway! Our guide mentioned they usually get 300 days of sunshine a year, so I must have brought the rain with me from the UK! He picked me up from my hotel and drove us to all the different stops. Each place was fascinating to visit, and our guide was knowledgeable and friendly throughout. A great experience overall!”

“Tony was a great guide. Interesting stops , don’t expect much from Sarande as a tourist destination. It is definitely not developed for tourism. The van we were sent was incredibly uncomfortable and had seen better days and had minimal to no air conditioning. At times felt like we would pass out from the sweat and elevated temperature. Also it might be good to warn guests about what is not included such as the train and lunch at blue eye which only accepted cash Lets or Euros - so if you had no cash you are forced to walk 20 Minutes uphill under the blazing sun or sit at the…”

Guided day trip from Saranda to Butrint, Ksamil, Blue Eye and Lekursi Castle, with tickets, pickup and views.

“This trip stands out by how varied it is - from a natural wonder to an ancient ruined metropolis to the perfect sunset spot. Before the tour I had felt a bit lukewarm towards the Blue Eye, but that‘s because I did not suspect how beautiful it is - it‘s literally an oasis in the middle of the barren mountainside, the contrast is so promounced it‘s almost unreal. Next, the beach at Ksamil is a placid enough stop. Then Butrint, an Unesco-listed archeological site, which I had to say I even preferred to Pompeii (heresy, I know!) on account of its lovely location, at the point between the sea and…”

5-hour Sarandë trip to UNESCO Butrint and Ksamil, Ionian pearl beaches, with small-group guide and AC transport.

“Our guide was amazing, on time, informative, friendly and fun! Butrint was beautiful and the beaches at Ksamil were stunning. Be warned - you only stay in Ksamil for an hour and they charge around 15-20 euro for a sunbed, but we sat in a cafe/bar just off the beach and took turns to go for a swim which worked really well.”
