Highlights
Starting from your accommodation we head to Drino’s valley in our 4×4 vehicles to enjoy our off the beaten path adventure among wild vegetation, breathtaking views, and remote villages in pure off road. We reach our lunch place, a traditional family restaurant among mountains. Later we proceed to our destination, through tangerine and orange plantations, towards the ancient ruins of Butrint, UNESCO World Heritage. After you visit the ancient ruins you have enough time to enjoy the sea breeze and a very unique natural habitat of rare plants, insects, animals and birds of the lagoon. We leave Butrint to drive south until we reach The Blue Eye a famous water spring of crystal clear water and unexplored depths. Take your time to refresh and take some more photos and collect memories that will remain with you forever. We drive back to Gjirokastra with the setting sun accompanying us till we reach our destination and bring you safe home.

About Gjirokastër
Gjirokastër is a stone town of Ottoman tower houses climbing a steep hillside beneath a fortress, in the Drino valley of southern Albania.
Grey stone houses with heavy stone-slab roofs climb the slope below Gjirokastër's hilltop castle, which holds a museum of weapons and looks out over the Drino valley. The old town, listed by UNESCO together with Berat, grew up in Ottoman times around a bazaar. Tall fortified family homes such as the Zekate House, built in the early nineteenth century, show how well-off households once lived.
