The Blue Eye

Reviewed By 248fredrik_ - Stockholm, Sweden

Booked tour at the tourist center a day in advance. A 30min bumpy ride later and you have beautiful nature and a magical waterspring that is crystal blue! Wish we had more time to explore the surroundings and maybe eat by the water! Try to go early or else it will be quite crowded!

Butrint National Park

Reviewed By B1714D - Belgrade, Serbia

Along with Berat and Gjirokaster, Butrint left the strongest impression on our 2 week Albania tour. It's an UNESCO heritage site, not to be missed if you're in Albania's south. Butrint national park is just a 10 min drive south of Ksamil. There's a big parking lot in front, and the entrance fee is low as around 6 Euros. The site dates back to 8th c BC, showing the Mediterranean historic timeline. Within the site you'll find Hellenic, Roman, Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman heritage. Highlights not to be missed include: - Hellenic Lake and Lion gates from 4c BC - ancient Roman theater from 3rd c. and Roman baths, - Agora from Greek era, later Roman Forum as a center of civic and commercial life, - remains of 6th c Byzantine Baptistery, - Great Basilica from 6th c (perfect), - Acropolis on the middle hilltop with a small museum and great views, - Venetian tower. All around the park, there are explanations in English which is great and makes it very easy to navigate and understand. Great souvenirs inside the park at very reasonable prices. Count on around 2 hours for a visit.

Gjipe Beach

Reviewed By 574boriss

Came down to Gjipe for a day, but stayed for the night since there is camp at the beach. Also there are a few bars/restaurants at the location. We left the car at the parking, and went down on foot beacuse the road to the beach is driveable only by 4x4 vehicles.

Livadhi Beach

Reviewed By 103Denis123 - Tirana, Albania

I love this beach because there is a love of space. Beach is with pebbles, crystal clear waters, you can rent umbrellas or have your own, and you can eat very good dishes in some local tavernas with reasonable prices. Among them i would suggest Angelos restaurant.

Llogara National Park

Reviewed By B1714D - Belgrade, Serbia

Driving the coastal road from Vlore to Saranda is the best drive you can have in Albania. The distance between the two is only 140 km, but you need 3 hrs for that without stopping, so you might imagine how curvy the road is. The drive reminds of the Amalfi coast one on a smaller scale. With stopping, which I strongly suggest you need an entire day. I suggest this itinerary: From Vlore you ascend to almost 1.000 m altitude with a significant temp drop, driving through terrific mountain roads with several restaurants to stop or honey to buy along the way. First scenic spot is "Panorama Llogara" - terrific place with unbelievable views of the coast beneath you and from where paraglyders take off. After that, just two curves below is one of the bigger Enver Hohxa bunkers, along with several smaller, again great views. Your third stop should be Dhermi - imo best sea town with the best beach in whole Albania (you see it up from the previous two stops). Fourth stop is Himare, also a nice beach town. Fifth and last stop before Saranda should be the Ali Pasha fortress in Palermo bay (read that review). It will be a full day of great sites to see along the way.
