What people say

Frenchie Marie
"The Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër in Albanian) is a water spring and initial water source of the Bistricë, a 25 km long river which ends in the Ionian Seat just south of Saranda. The source is a natural phenomenon with a depth of at least 50 meters, the deepest any diver has been able to go, so the actual depth is even unknown. The Blue Eye is famous for its stunning beauty and clear turquoise water. The water is so clear that you can see al the way through to the bottom and observe the light blue bubbles rising to the surface. There is a small platform from which you can observe the phenomenon from above. "

"The Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër) is a mesmerizing natural spring near Sarandë, Albania, famous for its vivid blue waters that seem to shimmer like a sapphire. This stunning water source bubbles up from over 50 meters deep, and its clarity and intense color make it look like a giant blue eye. Surrounded by lush forests, it’s a popular spot for visitors to admire, take a refreshing dip, and explore the trails around this hidden natural wonder."
"There is a small entrance free, but very worthwhile. From the entrance gate, cross the bridge and follow the trail through the beautiful vegetation/forrest. "
