The Blue Eye

About a 2 mile rt. During season theyve a one way train, take it, the walk back is easy. Love to see. Be advised if you are not in active walking health or have other mobility issues this maybe a difficult trek. No wheel chair anything one off path, also have to climb a stonledge to over look the spot. Go if you can

The Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër), Albania ​The Blue Eye is a must-see natural wonder! It's absolutely breathtaking. ​The main attraction is the water—it’s impossibly clear and vibrant, glowing with deep sapphire blues in the center eye and stunning turquoise rings around the edges. It truly looks like a giant, mesmerizing eye staring up from the earth. The surrounding nature is lush and green, making the whole spot incredibly picturesque. ​From the parking lot/entrance gate, it's about a 2 km walk one way to reach the main spring. The path is paved and generally easy, but it can be hot! ​ If you don't want to walk, there are convenient ways to get there: ​You can often rent an electric scooter at the entrance. ​Look for the road trainwhich shuttles visitors along the path for a small fee. ​ The water is cold. Go early in the morning to avoid the crowds and get the best photos. It's a short but unforgettable stop!

"Stunning spring with incredible deep blue and turquoise colors, resembling a blue eye. The road is scenic and beautiful. We went during winter and had the place to ourselves, but it gets busy and full of water activities in the summer. Highly recommended if you're nearby!

Beautiful place! It's about 1,5 km walk there and back by a well maintained paved path. Dogs are also welcome and ours was happy tp drink some cool spring water! There were some stray dogs but we managed to avoid contact. Not many people i January, on a Tuesday, and the cafes on the way and at the spring were closed. Tickets were 200 lek.

A nice but slightly long walk to the Blue Eye. It was a bit tiring but there are some views along the way where you can stop to take in the scenery. For those who are slightly tired or can’t be bothered to walk there is the option to rent electric scooters which seats 2 people for around 5 euros. There are toilets (dirty, hold your breath and don’t go into the stalls they are disgusting) on the route to the Blue Eye but they are slightly far towards the end of the walk.

The place itself is very nice. The park is beautiful and the whole lake looks amazing. However it was sad that despite the signs forbidding swimming in the lake/water source there were crowds of loud people swimming and polluting the water. This fact destroys the whole pleasure of admiring the Blue Eye. The park itself isn't too big, you can see everything in around 1-1.5hours.

The water was extremely beautiful and super clear. We went on a very hot day so the cold water was amazing and we went kayaking. I would highly recommend doing the 10 euro kayaking to the blue eye. It was a little crowded but otherwise it was fantastic.

+ The eye is beautiful. The walk there is very convenient and paved with many cafes / stops to buy water and such along the way. The surrounding area has different hike trails. - It's very crowded, the eye itself is relatively small and the views around it aren't as impressive as the arial photos.
