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.
