Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Blue Eye, known to locals as Syri I Kalter, is the largest of 18 springs that emerge from the Earth roughly 15 miles from Saranda in southern Albania. Its unique name comes directly from its magnificent and ethereal beauty, which creates the illusion of a blue eye. Its deep blue center flows water outward, creating a light blue color before meeting a ring of green vegetation that gives the impression of eyelashes.

The waters are responsible for feeding the Bistrica River. It remains a constant 50°F, so any swimming for more than a quick dip will require a wetsuit to avoid inevitable hypothermia. The depth of the Blue Eye has yet to be determined. Blue Eye Map
