Lekursi Castle

Lekursi Castle, perched on a hill above Sarandë, is best known for its sweeping views of the Ionian Sea, the town, and nearby Corfu. Built in the 16th century by the Ottomans, it offers a quick introduction to the area’s strategic past as well as one of southern Albania’s most scenic viewpoints. Visitors usually come for the setting rather than extensive historical remains, making it a worthwhile stop if you enjoy panoramas, sunset views, and a short outing close to the coast.
