From Saranda: Blue Eye & Wine Tasting Tour with Traditional Albanian Food

Begin your day with a comfortable pickup from Saranda or Ksamil and travel through the scenic landscapes of Southern Albania, passing rolling hills, forests, and traditional villages. Your first stop is the famous Blue Eye Spring (Syri i Kaltër), one of the region’s most beautiful natural attractions, known for its deep sapphire waters and lush surroundings. Guests have time to walk the forest trails, enjoy the refreshing atmosphere, and photograph this unique natural wonder before continuing their journey through the countryside.

The experience continues at a local, family-run winery where you’ll enjoy a guided tasting of 4 Albanian wines—typically a mix of red and white varieties—alongside a traditional grape raki and a selection of homemade Albanian dishes such as fresh bread, local cheeses, seasonal vegetables, and regional specialties. During the tasting, you’ll learn about organic farming practices, the winemaking process, and the culinary traditions of Southern Albania, all within an authentic rural setting with peaceful views of the surrounding nature. With private transportation included from start to finish, this full-day experience perfectly blends natural beauty, culture, gastronomy, and local hospitality, making it ideal for couples, families, and small groups seeking a deeper connection to the landscapes and flavors of Albania.
