Lëkurësi Castle

Lëkurësi Castle is a striking historic landmark overlooking Sarandë, Albania. Its origins date back to antiquity, with the site said to have been first fortified around the 4th century BC, though the structure visible today is largely Ottoman-era. Built on a hilltop, the castle offers sweeping views over Sarandë and the surrounding coastline.

The castle’s strong, complex design includes towers, defensive walls, and interior halls. Visitors can explore its grounds, walk its old passageways, and take in panoramic views of the town and the Ionian Sea below.

A cafe on site lets visitors relax and enjoy the view after exploring — Lëkurësi Castle is one of the most popular sunset viewpoints over Sarandë.
