Blue Eye, Protected karst spring in Vlorë County, Albania
The Blue Eye spring forms a deep pool with transparent water, creating a natural well that extends beyond fifty meters beneath the surface.
The Albanian government formally designated the Blue Eye and its surrounding 180 hectares as a Natural Monument in 1996, establishing protection measures.
The spring serves as a natural landmark for the local population, who named it Syri i Kaltër due to its circular shape and deep blue center.
Visitors can reach the spring by taking the Saranda-Gjirokaster road and following signs through the village of Krongj near Muzinë.
The spring produces 18,400 liters of water per second, forming the source of the Bistricë river that flows 25 kilometers to the Ionian Sea.
