The Castle of Lekuresi, built at the beginning of the 17th century, perches 1,800 feet above the city of Sarandë. It boasts amazing views of Lake Butrint and the mountainous region beyond, including the Ionian and Adriatic Seas and the coastline of Corfu.
Continue with a scenic drive to the Mesopotamian Monastery. Although the interior of the monastery is still under reconstruction since work began several years ago, you can view the exterior. Capture photos of this fine example of a Byzantine fortified monastery built in the 12th century. The church was reconstructed in the 17th and 18th centuries and is named Saint Nicolas Church.
Reboard your coach for the return trip to Saranda to take a walking tour through the city.
Notes:
Wear comfortable walking shoes.
