The Blue Eye of Albania, known locally as Syri i Kaltër, is a natural spring with crystal-clear blue waters resembling an eye. It is located in the Muzine village and is a popular tourist destination. The entrance fee for the Blue Eye is 50 Lek (approximately 0.50 euros) per person, and it must be paid in cash[1][2][3]. If you plan to drive, there is a parking fee that varies depending on the duration of stay, typically ranging from 200 to 800 Lek (approximately 1.60 to 6.70 euros)[3][5].
Visitors have several options to reach the spring after paying the entrance fee. You can walk the approximately 20-25 minute path from the ticket office, rent an electric scooter for about 5 euros per hour, or use the road train service for 300 Lek (3 euros) per person one way[1][6]. The site offers amenities such as a local restaurant and basic facilities like cabins and toilets[3].
The Blue Eye is open daily from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, making it accessible year-round. It’s recommended to visit during the shoulder season (May, June, September, or October) for a more enjoyable experience, as the peak season (July and August) can be crowded and hot[5].
