Jeep Safari
Thermal baths of Benja and Gjirokastra. Driving from Saranda through the mountain of Skerfica and heading for the Thermal Baths of Benja. Coffee stop on the way to Uji I Ftohte Tepelene, a well-known place to all travelers who pass by that area.
Wonderful views of Vjosa River with its crystal-clear water.
The Vjosa River flows across the entire valley, and eventually branches out into the Langarica River – the latter stretching across a canyon of the same name. The caves within the Langarica Canyon are really a sight to behold! Warm waters join Langarica’s stream, which despite the naturally cold temperature of the river, keeps it at a warming 29-30 degrees Celsius all year round. These are the thermal baths of Bënja, or llixha as they are called in Albanian. People flock here to seek recovery from rheumatism, skin, and kidney ailments to name just a few of the symptoms known to be relieved here. They say in fact, that each thermal pool, rich in minerals, serves a particular healing purpose!
Stop in the medieval town of Gjirokaster on the way back, free time to visit the old bazaar and fortress.
Driving back to Saranda from another road, through the pass of Muzina.
