The Blue EyeSaranda to Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër) The Blue Eye is a stunning natural spring located about 20 km (12 miles) from Saranda, nestled in the mountains.

What to do: Explore the Blue Eye Spring: The area around the Blue Eye is lush and green, making it a peaceful spot to relax and enjoy nature. The water is a cool 10°C (50°F), and although it's not recommended to swim due to the powerful flow, you can enjoy the scenery and take photos.
