If you visit Saranda, you should definitely make a stop at the Lëkursi Castle. This fortress dates back to the 16^th century and is constructed in the shape of a square with two round towers sitting diagonally to one another.

Its strategic position on a hill of about 300 meters in height as well as its panoramic views of Saranda, the Butrint Lagoon and even the island of Corfu, make this destination a tourist favorite. Not to mention that, inside the fortress, you will find one of the best-known bars and restaurants in Saranda which also offers the most beautiful view of the sunset.
