The 10 Best Off-Road Safari Trips in Albania

1.Saranda Jeep Safari 4×4 a Castle, Secret Beach and Blue Eye

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 177 reviews · 6 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $72Our pick

4x4 Jeep safari from Saranda to secret beaches, Ottoman viewpoints, Qeparo village, and the Blue Eye, with pickup and easy value.

“È stata un'esperienza unica! La rifarei subito e ve la consiglio caldamente. Il tour è organizzato benissimo dal team, siamo stati trattati egregiamente e con 13 euro hai anche un ottimo pranzo. Viaggiando da solo ho avuto l'opportunità di conoscere delle persone fantastiche con cui condividere tutto questo. Il giro dura circa 8 ore e si gira molto tra bellissime spiaggie, una cittadella antica (Qeparo). Non ultimo i bellissimi fuoristrada attraverso sentieri di roccia, terra e piccoli torrenti, che ci portano al blue eye. Il tutto incorniciato da musica a palla, canzoni italiane e tanta bella gente in macchina! Complimenti agli autisti del tour, ci hanno fatto divertire!”
