Things To Do
Visit Buthrotum

Visit Ksamil Islands
Ksamil is Europe’s newest strand pearl, and although more and more people find their way here, There are still plenty of places where you can be alone, and at the same time beaches with life and movement. Ksamil is, however, perhaps best known for its four islands that you can go by boat, but the other beaches are just as nice. The sand is white; the water is crystal clear with a turquoise blue color. We recommend to bring some sunscreen and your favorite swimsuit.
Visit Blue Eye
The Blue Eye is a water spring and natural phenomenon occurring near Muzinë in Vlorë County, southern Albania. A popular tourist attraction, the clear blue water of the river bubbles forth from a depth of more than fifty meters.
