Day 21 - Sarande - Lost then Lookout

Had till 3pm free time to get lost (not really - it’s actually pretty easy navigating around Sarande). Visited 2 local museums - unfortunately not much chop. Then walked up the backstreets and older districts. The place is pretty run down and neglected. I’ve no roaming data here on my Holafly eSIM. I can understand now why that is so. Take a look at the local street power and communication cabling works - seems as though you just run your own cables. A real buggers muddle.
This afternoon I went on a bus tour about 20 kms inland to a place known as The Blue Eye. Its attraction is the crystal clear water that surfaces from a connected natural aquifer 100kms away.
Amazingly clear and supposedly 10C. Lots went in including me. It was bloody cold - but a pleasant retreat from the heat. Afterwards we went to a great lookout overlooking Sarande and Corfu. There’s remains of a 15th century castle built by the famous Sultan Sulieman of the Ottoman Empire. The place was crazy jammed packed with people waiting for the sun to set into Ionian Sea.Read more
