Private Tour: Butrint UNESCO Site & Lekuresi Castle | Saranda, Albania

For those who want to experience the best of southern Albania without the crowds — this is your tour. A private, exclusive excursion from Saranda combining the two most iconic landmarks in the region: the ancient city of Butrint and the panoramic Lekuresi Castle.

Butrint – Where History Comes Alive

Saranda sits like an amphitheatre around its bay, and just 20 minutes away lies one of the Mediterranean’s greatest archaeological treasures. Butrint is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where 27 centuries of civilization are layered beneath your feet. Walking the shaded paths of this protected national park, you’ll discover theatres, baptisteries, and fortress walls left behind by the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and Venetians. Your English-speaking local guide brings every stone to life.

Ksamil – Lunch by the Sea

After Butrint, we stop for lunch at Restaurant ABIORI in Ksamil — right next to the beach and specializing in fresh seafood and fish. A true taste of the Albanian Riviera.

Lekuresi Castle – Views

That Steal Your Breath
Built in the 16th century, Lekuresi Castle sits high above Saranda with panoramic views stretching across the Ionian Sea all the way to Corfu. It’s the perfect final chapter for a perfect day.
