The Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër) in Albania is a stunning natural spring known for its incredibly clear, deep blue waters. It is generally accessible via a paved road to a parking area, followed by a short walk on a relatively flat path, though the immediate viewing platform may involve steps and uneven terrain, making it less suitable for wheelchairs. Visitors can easily explore this site solo with a rental car or taxi, but it is also a popular stop on guided tours often combined with nearby cities like Sarandë or Gjirokastër. The Blue Eye is open year-round, though the best times to visit are spring and early autumn for pleasant weather and fewer crowds; swimming is officially prohibited and dangerous due to strong currents. The approximate cost is very low, usually just a small entrance fee (e.g., 50-100 ALL) and a parking fee. A typical visit duration is 1-2 hours, allowing ample time to admire the captivating phenomenon where water bubbles up from a more than 50-meter-deep karst spring. There's a small restaurant on-site, and comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
