Unveiling Sazan Island
Our voyage begins from the vibrant city of Vlore, setting sail at 10:00 AM. The first stop on our tour is the enigmatic Sazan Island, the largest island in Albania. Nestled between the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, Sazan Island is a treasure trove of history and natural wonders. The ancient Greeks were among its earliest visitors, drawn by its strategic location and unique landscape.
Today, the island's rich military history is evident in the extensive underground tunnels that crisscross beneath its surface. These tunnels, once secretive military installations, now add an air of mystery and adventure, inviting explorers to delve into their hidden depths. As you wander through these ancient passages, our knowledgeable guide will provide fascinating insights into the island's past, making the history come alive.
Exploring Haxhi Ali Cave
Next, we navigate towards the mesmerizing Haxhi Ali Cave, a natural wonder etched into the rugged shores of the Karaburun Peninsula. This magnificent cave boasts labyrinthine passages and crystal-clear pools, creating an underwater wonderland teeming with marine life. Our guide will lead you through the cave, sharing the historical significance and natural beauty of this hidden gem. For those seeking an extra thrill, snorkeling inside the cave offers a chance to witness the vibrant marine ecosystem up close.
Relaxing at Saint Vasil Beach
After the excitement of the cave, we head to the tranquil shores of Saint Vasil Beach.
