Why visit Saranda?

Saranda anchors the Albanian Riviera with a sweeping crescent of white pebble shores along the Ionian Sea, perfectly positioned across the water from the Greek island of Corfu. The town’s lively seafront promenade, the Lungomare, buzzes at sunset as locals and travelers gather to sample grilled red mullet and freshly shucked oysters at seaside tavernas. Just beyond the central harbor lies the Lëkurësi Castle, perched high on a strategic hilltop offering panoramic views over the entire bay and the Ksamil islands.

Beyond the immediate coastline, the region serves as a gateway to extraordinary archaeological and natural wonders. A short drive inland leads to the UNESCO-listed Butrint National Park, where ancient Greek, Roman, and Venetian ruins emerge from dense eucalyptus forests. Nearby, the surreal freshwater spring known as the Blue Eye bubbles up from limestone karst more than fifty metres deep in dazzling shades of cobalt and turquoise. Visitors also frequent the mirror-like waters of Mirror Beach, known locally as Plazhi i Pasqyrave, before returning to town for a traditional dinner of Tavë Kosi, a savory baked lamb and rice dish spiced with garlic and oregano.
