A View Above Saranda ✨✨✨

#mediterranean 📍Lëkurësi Castle is a historic fortress that overlooks the city of Saranda and the Ionian Sea. Built in the 16th century by the Ottomans, the castle once served as a strategic point to protect the area from invaders. Today, it is one of the most popular attractions in Saranda, not only for its history but also for the breathtaking panoramic views it offers. From the top, you can see the entire city, the Ksamil islands, and even the Greek island of Corfu on clear days. Many visitors come here in the evening to enjoy the magical sunsets and the peaceful atmosphere✨ #albania #castle #tourism #visitalbania #saranda
