Saranda: Lekursi Castle, Blue Eye, Gjirokaster, & More Tour - Mesopotam Monastery (Saint Nicholas): Where Faiths Shifted Hands

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 884 reviews · 9 hours · from $47Our pick

Saranda day trip to Lekursi Castle, Blue Eye, Gjirokaster and more. Small-group guide plus comfy Mercedes van and great value.

“This day trip was a perfect blend of fun, history, and natural beauty. The itinerary was well-paced, giving us just the right amount of time at each stop, from the mesmerizing Blue Eye spring to the charming streets of Gjirokaster, the elegant Ottoman Bridge, and the panoramic views from Lekursi Castle. Our guide was not only informative and engaging throughout the tour, but also incredibly considerate. Since we were staying in Gjirokaster, he made sure we knew exactly how to reach our hotel and even helped us plan our route to the bus station for our next destination. That extra level of care made the experience feel personal and stress-free.…”

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!”
