The Blue Eye (Albanian: Syri i Kaltër) is a water spring and natural phenomenon occurring near Muzinë in Vlorë County, southern Albania. A popular tourist attraction, the clear blue water of the river bubbles forth from a depth of more than fifty metres. Divers have descended to fifty metres, but it is still unclear what the actual depth is.
This is the initial water source of Bistricë river, 25 km long, which ends in the Ionian Sea south of Sarandë.
The source stands at an altitude of 152 m and has a discharge rate of 18400 liters per second.
If you are brave enough, you can jump in it and the water will push you up back to the surface. However, it is worth noting that the temperature of water is a mere 10 degrees Celsius (50 degrees Fahrenheit) even despite the scorching heat during Albanian summers.
