Things to Do in Sarandë
Lëkurësi Castle sits on a hilltop overlooking Sarandë and the sea. It's a major draw for visitors to the area, especially at sunset when the light hits the water and the city below. The castle gets busy, particularly in the evening, but most people find the views worth it. You can walk around the grounds, and there are amenities on site. It's genuinely kid-friendly, which makes it an easy family outing.

Our weighted 10-point Holiday Score combines Google's overall rating, review volume, and sentiment around specific topics (service, food, atmosphere, accessibility). Sub-dimension scores weight category-specific signals — for restaurants we look at food and value mentions; for hotels at cleanliness and location; for beaches at water quality and facilities. Accessibility is weighted from verified wheelchair and mobility attributes.
Scores above 8.5 represent outstanding quality. 10.0 is reserved for editorial picks.
Why we like it
We keep coming back for the views, honestly. A sunset from up here is one of those moments that reminds you why you came to the coast in the first place. The site handles a crowd, it's accessible, and it doesn't feel like you need to book ahead or jump through hoops to get there. It's straightforward and delivers what it promises.
