For the most incredible sunset views in Sarandë, you have to make your way up to Lëkurësi Castle. Perched on a hilltop, this old fortress offers a stunning panorama of the town, the Ionian Sea and even Corfu in the distance.

Today, the castle is partially restored and functions more as a viewpoint and leisure spot than a full historical site. There is a restaurant and seating areas inside, making it a popular place to watch sunsets over Sarandë and the coastline.

My honest opinion: It can be touristy, but the scenery still makes it worth it.

• Can get busy in high season evenings

• More scenic spot than historic museum
