★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 25 reviews · 4 hours · from $82Our pick

Review of Saranda’s Blue Eye, Lekuresi Castle, and Albanian wine tour, with practical tips on transport, walking, food, cost, and value.

“This felt more of a multi-stop car ride rather than a tour. The time with the guide was very brief and it was only at the start of each stop, where he’d give us a brief overview of the location. He was really good, but I just wished he’d come along and add more colour to what we were seeing. The car we drove in was nice but the driving was reckless and more often than not it felt uncomfortable. It’s also a utilitarian car rather than a van or a minibus meaning that personal space is non-existent. The Blue Eye is highly overrated in my opinion and we were…”

Review of Saranda’s wine, Blue Eye, and Lekuresi Castle tour, with tasting costs, timing, views, guide tips, and booking advice.

“Klajdi is a great guide, told us quite a lot of interesting things about Saranda and took us to all places without any problems. The wine tasting was the part we have been looking forward to the most and the one that disappointed us more as well, so don’t expect amazing wines there. Otherwise the Blue eye was gorgeous, and the view from the castle is breathtaking. Get ready to take some pictures!”

5.Wine and Raki tasting tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $77

Taste Saranda wine, raki, cognac, jams, and farm produce on a private tour with castle views and hotel pickup.

“An absolutely fantastic guide who is knowledgeable about all processes will lead you through the entire farm. You will learn how they create different wines from their grape, how they make raki/liqueurs/olive oil, grow their own fruit/vegetables etc. You can then taste their wines, raki and liqueur together with a table filled with picking food from their farm. It was so good! For such a cheap price I recommend everyone to go there and experience the farm, soon there will also be their own restaurant built on the farm.Auto-translated”

We were dropped off at the entrance to the Blue Eye, we chose to get the train down to see it which was easy. - blue eye beautiful!
