    Great day visiting two very historic sights in Gjirokaster. The Cold War tunnel was fascinating. Blue Eye was pristine and beautiful.

  • 5Knowledgeable and friendly tour guide.

    Our tour guide, Marsia, was so knowledgeable and friendly and made so much effort to chat with everyone on the tour. The tour itself was very interesting and well-paced. We would definitely recommend :)

  • 5Excellent guide, interesting tour

    Marisia was an excellent guide and we loved the tour! The highlight was the time in Gjirokastra. Our tour had only 7 people and we appreciated being picked up and dropped off right at our hotel.

About Saranda

Saranda is a sunny port on Albania's Ionian coast, curved around a wide bay with the Greek island of Corfu in sight across the water.

Saranda climbs a steep hillside above its bay, with a palm-lined promenade at the water's edge and apartment blocks stacked up the slope. Its name is a local form of the Greek for Forty Saints, after a monastery whose ruins lie among the houses. The mosaic floor of an ancient synagogue was found near the harbour, and Lëkurësi Castle, a sixteenth-century fortress on the ridge, looks over the town towards Corfu.

Top-ranked sights in Saranda: Lekursi Castle (Kajala e Lekuresit).
