Soak in Benja thermal sulfur baths, walk Këlcyrë gorge springs, then swim and hike in Lengarica Canyon on an English-guided half-day from Saranda.
“Absolutely amazing experience! This is really something you have to take the opportunity to experience, it is a memory for life. We got a super nice and professional guide, he showed us through the langarica canyon and we got to swim in three natural mineral baths. The walk through the canyon was on foot through water/mud/stone so swimming shoes are a must. Can't describe how nice it is. The guide was familiar and recommended us to leave earlier to avoid the heat and crowds of people, which was a stroke of genius. We had time to swim and hike for hours before the heat came and the crowds of people…”
