Itinerary
Relaxing and restorative, with the mineral pools being great for both skin and joint benefits. The Ottoman Stone Bridge and Vjosa Valley add a nice touch of local history and scenic views. Tip: The pools can be a bit crowded at times, so if you can go early in the morning or later in the evening, it could be a more peaceful experience.
This is definitely a must-see! The crystal-clear water and the surreal, intense blue color are mesmerizing. It’s a peaceful spot where you can enjoy nature and take plenty of photos. Tip: It’s a bit of a walk to get there, so wear comfy shoes!
A quieter, less touristy spot that offers a real sense of history and serenity. The monastery’s surroundings are peaceful and it’s a lovely place for a reflective stop.
If there’s time, this is the perfect way to end the day. The panoramic views over the city, the beaches, and even Corfu make for stunning sunset photos.

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).
