Day 02

Blue Eye - Tiranawe leave the guesthouse to the Blue Eye (Capri Eye), cross the wire bridge visiting stone groves of Nderlysa. Their appearance is quite interesting since having the shapes completely rounded and smooth, they look exactly like tubs. During our journey, since the water flows are scarce, we can freshen them up. These rock masses are finalized with a natural crystal water pool where we can swim on it . Then we continue on the road to the Blue Eye. The location of this beauty is in Cape Kapre, one of the most beautiful Alps villages. When returning from the Blue Eye to the village of Thethi, we visit the canyon, which is about 2 km long and 60 meters deep, ranging from 2-3 meters wide to 30-40 meters. There is an incomparable beauty, where all the time there is enough water for canoe passionate enthusiasts .
