Albania is fast becoming a HOTSPOT for British holidaymakers, thanks to its cheap prices, stunning resorts, and rich culture, reports The Sun.
Travel writer Katrina Turrill highlights the Balkan gem’s hidden treasures, from secret waterfalls to untouched coves, in The Sun‘s “Best of Beaches” series. Locals shared top tips on the best places to visit and stay.
Marketing expert Genc Krasniqi raved about Albania’s diverse coastline, from the sandy shores of Velipoja in the north to the secluded Gjipe Beach, perfect for camping. Linda Alia, a local tour guide, recommended the quiet beaches of Qeparo, Borsh, and Livadh for those wanting to escape the crowds.
For a taste of the tropics in Europe, Jack and Manon Dushku say Ksamil is the place to be. “It’s like a tropical island but in Europe!” they told The Sun, advising travelers to visit in early summer before peak season.
Beyond the beaches, Albania is home to breathtaking natural wonders. Theth’s Grunas waterfall, the hidden Haxhi Ali Cave, and the remote village of Vermosh offer stunning scenery for adventurers. Meanwhile, history buffs can explore the hilltop castle of Gjirokastër for just over £3.
For those on a budget, Krasniqi recommends the coastline from Kavaja to Zvërnec, where accommodation, food, and drinks come at bargain prices.
With Albania’s mix of sun, sea, and affordability, it’s no wonder Brits are flocking to this Mediterranean marvel!
