Looking for the perfect vacation destination that combines the beauty of the Maldives with the accessibility of Europe? Look no further than Albania. This Balkan country is fast becoming one of the most popular seaside destinations thanks to its picturesque beaches that rival tropical resorts, but are much closer and cheaper. 

Albania: a treasure of Europe

For a long time, Albania has remained little known to most tourists, writes the Mirror.

However, it is now actively developing its tourist infrastructure and is confidently ranked among the best European resorts. In particular, its resort of Ksamil, located on the Albanian Riviera, has gained the fame of the “European Maldives”.

With white sand, crystal clear water, and charming beach huts, Ksamil offers a vacation that can easily be compared to the Maldives, but is much more affordable.

What makes Ksamil attractive?

Ksamil is known for its beaches, which resemble postcards from paradise islands. Tourists from different parts of Europe admire this place and note that it is easy to visit, unlike the distant tropics. And the combination of natural beauty and reasonable prices makes a vacation here even more attractive.

When planning a vacation in Ksamil, you should also visit Gjirokastra, one of the most picturesque cities in Albania, with its ancient architecture and charming atmosphere. No less impressive will be the Butrint National Park, where you can see the Salt Lagoons and enjoy nature.

Tourist season and peculiarities of vacation in Albania

The sea season in Ksamil starts in May, so it's the perfect time to plan a trip. Albania is famous not only for its beaches, but also for its rich history, architecture that combines different cultures, and unsurpassed local cuisine.

In addition, vacation prices here remain quite budget-friendly, which adds another nice bonus to the trip.
