Butrint UNESCO City & Lekuresi Castle | Group Day Tour from Saranda, Albania

One of the most iconic day trips from Saranda — and for good reason. This guided group tour takes you to two of southern Albania’s greatest landmarks in a single, perfectly paced day: the ancient UNESCO city of Butrint and the breathtaking Lekuresi Castle.

Butrint – 27 Centuries of History

Saranda’s famous bay gives way to countryside that leads to one of the Mediterranean’s most remarkable archaeological sites. Butrint — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — was once a thriving Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Venetian city, and its ruins are among the best-preserved in the Balkans. Your guided walk takes you past an ancient theatre still used for performances today, a stunning baptistery, and city walls that have stood for millennia.

Lekuresi Castle – The View Above Saranda

After Butrint, the tour climbs to the 16th-century Lekuresi Castle, where panoramic views of Saranda, the Ionian Sea, and the island of Corfu stretch out before you. A photo stop here is non-negotiable. Lunch is included and served at the castle area, before your return to Saranda.
