Blue Eye

Blue Eye

Blue Eye is a natural karst spring in southern Albania, located in the mountains between the cities of Saranda and Gjirokastër. It is the source of the local Bistricë River, from which the water flows to the Ionian Sea south of Saranda. Looking down from the viewing platform above, the outer ring of water is bright and light blue, while the center is deep blue, almost black, making the entire water surface look like a deep blue eye gazing at the sky. The spring water constantly surges up from an underground cave; as you approach, you can hear the continuous roar of the water. The water is so clear that you can see dozens of meters deep. The water temperature is icy cold year-round, and a touch will make you shiver. It is precisely because of the low temperature and lack of impurities that the water color appears exceptionally rich and transparent. The surrounding area is designated as a nature reserve, characterized by oak and sycamore forests. Walking along the forest trail, you are accompanied by dense shade and the sound of water, making it much cooler than the surrounding lowlands.Saranda · 50.8 km from Tepelene District

Pyramid of Tirana
No. 2 of Night Attractions in Albania

Pyramid of Tirana

5.6
4.8/5
38 reviews
The Pyramid of Tirana is a landmark building in the capital of Albania. Originally a museum dedicated to former Albanian leader Enver Hoxha, it has served as a conference center and a television studio over the decades. It also sat abandoned for a long time, with its exterior walls covered in graffiti. Its sloping facade, however, became a place for local youth to climb and play. After a comprehensive renovation, this old building has been revitalized. Its interior has been transformed into TUMO, a creative technology education center for teenagers, offering courses and activities focused on programming, robotics, and art. The bright, colorful space adds a sense of lightness to the originally heavy concrete shell. One of its sloping sides has been converted into a series of steps, allowing people to walk all the way to the top of the building to overlook the city view, continuing the building's unique climbable appeal. Not far in front of it hangs a Peace Bell, cast from shell casings collected during the social unrest of the late 1990s to commemorate those who lost their lives. A bell and a building perfectly encapsulate the changes this city has undergone over the decades.Albania · Tirana

Lake Shkodër in Albania is absolutely stunning! 💖 From afar, it looks like a giant emerald embedded in the earth. 💎 Every snapshot is a masterpiece of traditional Chinese ink painting. The lake's mirror-like surface in the early morning, paired with little red flags fluttering in the wind, makes for incredibly photogenic shots. The distant mountains appear and disappear in the mist, creating an ethereal atmosphere! ☁️ 📷 Best Photo Poses: ✔️ Posing in front of the little flags is a must! 200% success rate! 📸 ✔️ Bring a telephoto lens to photograph the birds; they're all master posers! 🦆

The pyramid in Tirana is a very strange building. It was built during the Hoxha government. Now the building has been abandoned, but it has become a famous tourist attraction because the slope of the building is about 50 degrees, which is a huge slide, attracting many citizens to come and play, which is really ironic.
