We stopped off here on our way to Gjirokastra - there is a big sign on the main road so was fairly easy to find. Its in beautiful surroundings with trees, birds, dragonflies etc around a spring of the most amazing blue colour. The water was freezing when we visited so we didn't swim but it was a nice visit...

The owner of the hotel we were staying at in Saranda very kindly took us to this amazing place just off the Saranda - Gjirokaster road, and told us it was called Blue Ice, so we had no idea what to expect. When we arrived we saw the name Blue Eye and still had no idea what to expect, but... More

A clean water source surrounded by fascinating nature. The colour of the water is deep blue, what gave the spot its name.

Went to Blue Eye by coach and although the coach driver managed to get the coach stuck meaning we had to walk the rest of the way we loved the place... Its beautiful, and the water is so fresh and pure you can drink it straight from the lake and have a swim. It really nice a stunning place and... More

The Blue Eye Spring really is a wonder of nature.It's not easy to find the place, and hard to reach by bus, but it's definitely one of the highlights in Albania. Don't miss it.

The Blue Eye Spring really is a wonder of nature. We were absolutely gobsmacked at its beauty. We also have to mention the restaurant that sits near the spring and serves delicious BBQ food by the running stream. We tucked into a plate of mixed grilled meat, bowlfuls of fresh, green salad and a side of fried, seasoned potatoes all... More

It may be the time of day we arrived, but I was a little underwelmed by this site.We arrive early and the site was quiet, only a couple of other visitors, although to be honest in Sept the whole of Albania was very quiet. Perhaps you needed midday light, but the pool is not as big as I expected and... More

While the spot is nice, there is nothing particularly outstanding about the place, especially if you have been in wooded areas with ponds & streams. If you are passing by stop; I would not make this a special "must see" thing to do.
