Visiting Sazan Island was an unforgettable experience! Nestled in the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea, this small island is a true hidden gem that offers a unique blend of natural beauty, historical intrigue, and serene tranquility.

The island’s untouched landscape is breathtaking, with lush greenery, rocky cliffs, and pristine beaches that make it perfect for nature lovers. Whether you're exploring the island’s scenic trails or relaxing on its secluded shores, the stunning views and peaceful atmosphere provide a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

One of the highlights of Sazan Island is its rich history. The remnants of military bunkers and fortifications from different eras offer a fascinating glimpse into the island's past, making it an intriguing destination for history buffs. Walking through these abandoned structures, you can almost feel the echoes of the past, adding a sense of mystery and adventure to your visit.

The island is relatively undeveloped, which adds to its charm. Without the crowds and commercialization, you can truly appreciate the natural beauty and serenity of the place. It’s a great spot for snorkeling and diving, with its clear waters revealing a vibrant underwater world.

Sazan Island is a must-visit for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat in a stunning natural setting. It’s a place where you can disconnect from the world and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and history.

I highly recommend a visit to this...

If you want to touch the island, the beach, an ex military zone, an old port, ‘40-‘90 (houses of the comunism generals) buildings and an old city in the same time, for just 1 hour... than the Sazan Island is what you looking for! The only way you can go there is by boat (those boats have a schedule for the “Sazan Ride”, usually after they visit Karaburun). I was there couple of times as a Tour Leader and everyone was pleased and very happy. I strongly recommend it if you want something different from your...

Place which has been abandoned in 1970. Prior to that after WW2nd 150 soldiers families were living on the island. You will be able to see rouins of the town - school, restaurant, houses, hospital, cinema. All has been left and now only 4 soldiers are based there. Island is full of bunkers and gives opportunity to understand better the comunistic regime in Albania. It is worth to have a walk and see the town. Beaches are also nice there - clear water (no sunbeads available). But best is to focus on the...

Ilha onde era uma antiga prisão. Edifícios abandonados que não visitei pois na viagem apensas tínhamos 1 hora. Ilha com uma pequena praia de pedras. Água não muito fria e com ondulação.
