Avis
The water here is absolutely pristine—crystal clear, like something out of a fairy tale. However, there are far too many people for such a small area. There are no changing rooms or proper toilets at all, so people are forced to hide in the bushes. This is quite strange, especially considering that we paid a considerable amount of money for the excursion. Building a changing room and a restroom once so that visitors can use them would not cost a fortune. Please think about improving the comfort of tourists. That is why I am giving four stars instead of five. The island itself is very small, but the water is simply paradise. The crystal-clear sea alone is worth taking the boat trip for. Unfortunately, the locals seem to care more about making money than about visitors' comfort. There are huge queues at the restaurants just to get some fairly ordinary food.
An amazing place we don’t want the Trumps overtaking
Arnavutluk’un bu bölümünde Durres tarafına kıyasla deniz çok daha güzel. Muazzam bir berraklık var ve su tertemiz. Ada uzunca bir süre askeri amaçla kullanılmış ve tarihi kalıntıları gözlemlemek mümkün.
Sazan Island is a beautiful place with incredibly clear, crystal-blue water. The beach is quite rocky, with large stones both on the shore and in the sea, so don’t forget to bring water shoes – they really help! There are also sea urchins in the water, so it’s worth watching where you step. A beautiful natural place and a great stop during a boat trip around the area.
