Overview

Combine natural wonder with ancient history on this unique day trip from Gjirokastër. Discover the mesmerizing Blue Eye spring and explore the Roman-era ruins of Hadrianopolis in Sofratikë village — all in one flexible experience designed for small groups or private travel.

  • What You’ll Experience:

The Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër):

Depart from Gjirokastër at 9:30 AM and enjoy a scenic 40-minute drive to the famous Blue Eye spring. Spend around 1.5 hours admiring this crystal-clear natural phenomenon, taking photos, and soaking in the peaceful surroundings.

Hadrianopolis Archaeological Site:

On the return from the Blue Eye, make your way to the nearby village of Sofratikë (about 30 minutes from Gjirokastër). Visit the ancient Roman settlement of Hadrianopolis, where ruins of an amphitheater and other structures tell the story of a once-thriving Roman city.

Optional Lunch Stop:

Enjoy lunch at a local taverna in Sofratikë. While not included in the tour price, we highly recommend trying the traditional Albanian dishes such as fresh salads, grilled seasonal vegetables, potatoes, and your choice of grilled chicken, lamb, or beef — all accompanied by homemade raki.
