SHORE JEEP EXCURSION

Once you reach the port of Saranda onboard your MSC cruise ship, our staff will welcome you to the ship’s mooring point and our professional drivers will guide you towards the pristine beauty of the Albanian Riviera, full of beautiful beaches, friendly people and unforgettable landscapes.

The jeep tour starts from Saranda with an exceptional visit: the monastery of San Giorgio, a sacred place of Orthodox tradition, is a gem that has remained sheltered from mass tourism. To reach it we will cross off-road roads that can be traveled only with our Jeeps, and are known by few.

We will then continue with a visit to the historic Lekursi Castle, built in 1537 by the Ottoman Empire in a dominant position above the city of Saranda to protect the entire surrounding region. Today is a breathtaking place for photos, including beautiful views of Corfu and the Ksamil islands, a must-see for your visit to Saranda.

Fun and wild nature await you among stimulating and exciting off-road routes in the Albanian countryside that will lead us to the Blue Eye national park. After a walk in the park we will reach the Blue Eye source, an extraordinary lagoon considered a monument of nature, which enchants visitors with its crystal blue waters. Nobody knows its true depth, but 90 cubic meters of water per minute gush out to feed the Bistricë river for 25 km, up to the Ionian Sea. The source of the Blue Eye is one of Albania’s most fascinating spectacles.

We will go to the discovery of Albania through pristine places, we will stop in the most panoramic places we will meet along the way so that you can take the best photos of your day in Saranda.
