Dog-Friendly Attractions Around Saranda

One of the Mediterranean's great archaeological sites, this UNESCO-listed city spans Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Venetian ruins set in a lush lagoon-side landscape. Leashed dogs are welcome along the ancient paths and nature trails, making it a rare dog-inclusive world heritage visit.

A mesmerising natural spring of impossibly blue, ice-cold water bubbling up from deep underground in a small protected park. The walk in is leashed-dog friendly, with a mostly paved, sunny path; some street dogs gather in the parking area, so keep yours close.

A 16th-century Ottoman castle crowning the hill above Saranda, with the best panorama in the area over the bay, Butrint lagoon and Corfu. The terrace cafe-restaurant generally welcomes leashed, well-behaved dogs, making it a classic sunset stop.
