(TIR-FAX) – Albania’s Adriatic and Ionian coastlines are increasingly becoming a draw for tourists seeking a more affordable alternative to traditional Mediterranean destinations like Spain and Croatia. With its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters, the Albanian Riviera is steadily gaining recognition for offering a quieter, budget-friendly travel experience.
Located between the Adriatic and Ionian seas, Albania’s coastline is known for its scenic beauty, featuring both popular beaches and secluded coves. Despite comparisons to Mediterranean hotspots, it remains a less crowded and more affordable option.
The country’s growing appeal was highlighted in The Mirror, where British travel expert Laura Hewson shared her recent experience. “It was cheaper and much more beautiful because there were no tourist crowds,” Hewson said, explaining that a four-star hotel, including breakfast, cost less than hostels in Spain and Italy.
Albania’s popularity is also rising on social media, with travellers drawn to videos showcasing the country’s landscapes and quiet beaches.
In places like Vlorë, the cost of living remains low. A typical meal costs between 10 and 15 pounds, with pizzas priced at under 5 pounds. Beverages are also affordable, with beers costing just 2 pounds.
Flights from the UK to Albania are also budget-friendly, with direct routes from London to the capital, Tirana, available for as little as 28 pounds.
With its combination of scenic beauty and affordability, Albania’s Adriatic coast is fast becoming a more popular choice for European holidaymakers.
