Activity itinerary

Syri I Kalter

The Blue Eye, known locally as “Syri i Kaltër,” is one of Albania’s most enchanting natural sites. This incredible spring pushes out cold, crystal-clear water from a deep underwater cave, creating swirling shades of blue and emerald green. With an estimated depth beyond 50 metres, the source remains a geological mystery, adding to its charm. Visitors can enjoy wooden viewing platforms, forest trails, and the relaxing sound of flowing water. The area is protected as a nature monument, making it a perfect stop for nature lovers, hikers, and photographers exploring Southern Albania.

Its circular towers and historic stone walls reflect centuries of strategic importance, once guarding the coastline and local villages. Today, the castle is known not only for its history but for its incredible panoramic views stretching from Saranda Bay to the island of Corfu and the mountain ranges behind it.
