Begin your tour with a drive to Butrint, one of the many ancient Greek colonies on the Illyrian coast that later became a key city in the Roman Empire.
Visit the Butrint Archaeological Park -- once an important Greco-Roman port city and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, visitors can wander among the ruins of one of the great cities of the Ancient World.
Inhabited continuously from the 7th century BC until it was abandoned in the 18th century, Butrint's excavated remains are early Greek and Roman. The circular baptistery from the 6th century AD is paved with fine mosaics. However, archaeological excavations show that Butrint was important to the Chelonians.
A panoramic drive brings you to the Blue Eye spring. In this beautiful spot, shaded by centuries-old oak trees, legend holds that a twelve-headed dragon held back the spring waters from the villagers. Pagan rituals were carried out and, today, the waters flow freely. Taste some local delicacies in the Blue Eye restaurant.
