The exact depth of the karst spring is unknown, but it is more than 45 meters (divers were unable to go lower due to the strong pressure of the water gushing from underground). Tourists come here to admire the unusual spring: the water in its center is bright blue, and at the edges it is light blue. The picturesque surroundings of the Blue Eye are also worth attention: it is surrounded by dense oak forests.

Butrint is an ancient settlement founded in the Antiquity period: in the 7th-6th centuries BC, a Greek colony appeared here. The city flourished for over a thousand years, and managed to survive the raids of the Vandals, Goths, and Slavic tribes. In the 15th century, the settlement was abandoned. In the 1920s, archaeological excavations began on its site, during which well-preserved structures from different periods were discovered. Now there is a museum-reserve in Butrint.
