(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Butrint National Park
We start at Butrint National Park, Albania’s most iconic site, and the first to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I’ve guided here for 15 years and even helped with excavations, getting to know this place well. We’ll begin at the Sanctuary of Asklepios, where ancient healing took place, and then move on to the Theater, Roman Baths, and the Gymnasium. After that, we’ll see the beautiful Baptistry mosaics and the Great Basilica. We’ll pass through the Monumental Gates and finish with stunning views from the Venetian Castle. There is no rush here, just a chance to truly feel the past. Relax, enjoy the stories, and connect with history along the way.
Ksamil Beach
Ksamil- The Postcard Made Real We’ll take a 30-minute pause in Ksamil, just long enough to soak in the postcard beauty of this coastal gem. With its powder-white beaches, crystal-clear shallows, and the tiny green islands scattered just offshore, Ksamil feels almost too perfect to be real. It’s the kind of place where time slows down—you’ll have a chance to snap a few unforgettable photos, breathe in the salty breeze, and maybe dip your toes in the Ionian Sea. Even in a short stop, the magic of Ksamil leaves an impression
The Blue Eye
The Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër) is a natural wonder—a karstic spring with waters so clear and deep they seem to glow with every shade of blue and green imaginable. This is a place where the earth’s secrets bubble up to the surface, and the colors shift before your eyes, drawing you in like an artist’s brushstroke. As part of your tour, you’ll hop on the eco-friendly train, which will carry you gently through lush landscapes, guiding you closer to the heart of the spring. It’s an easy ride, but with a view that feels like you’re entering another world—one that’s timeless, untouched, and impossibly beautiful.
