The Blue Eye is a water spring and initial water source of the Bistricë, a 25 km long river which ends in the Ionian Seat just south of Saranda. The source is a natural phenomenon with a depth of at least 50 meters, the deepest any diver has been able to go, so the actual depth is even unknown.

The best way to reach the Blue Eye is by car or with a taxi or tour. From the parking lot, it’s a 20-minute walk ( 2 kilometers) to reach the Blue Eye. At the entrance, you can also rent electric scooters if you don’t feel like walking.

You can also reach the Blue Eye by bus, but since most buses in the direction of Gjirokastra and Tirana now take the new road via Kardhiq instead of the mountain pass (SH99) via the Blue Eye, the options are limited.
