Albania is quickly establishing itself as one of Europe’s best destinations for summer vacation. Beautiful sandy beaches, clear blue waters, and affordable prices are attracting tourists from all around the world in recent years.
If you are thinking about spending a summer vacation in Albania and doing it on a budget, consider the following cities.
Himare
Himare is a charming small city that will give you a truly relaxing summer vibe. Its beaches and waters are among the best in the whole of Albania, and the place is peaceful, making it perfect for a family vacation. There are also plenty of things you can do besides sunbathing and swimming, including exploring Himare Old Town and enjoying staples of Albanian cuisine.
Dhermi
If you are looking for a lively city, then Dhermi should be your first choice. Besides offering an outstanding beach experience, Dhermi also has an outstanding nightlife as an abundance of bars, restaurants, and night clubs attracts younger tourists. The city also boasts unique architecture and offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking.
Ksamil
Most tourists don’t believe Ksamil is actually in Albania when they arrive there since its beaches and waters remind them of those found on tropical islands. However, it will cost you only a fraction of what you would spend to go to a place like Seychelles. Ksamil has plenty of opportunities for water sports as well as other activities like visiting the archeological site Butrint, which is part of UNESCO’s World Heritage list.
