Summer in Albania isn’t just another getaway — it’s a Mediterranean story waiting to be lived. A land where crystal-clear waters meet ancient ruins, where the aroma of freshly baked byrek drifts through seaside towns, and where true hospitality still feels personal.
Tucked between the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, Albania is no longer Europe’s best-kept secret — it’s Europe’s rising starfor those seeking authenticity, beauty, and affordable elegance.
☀ The Albanian Riviera – Where the Sea Shines Brighter
Stretching from Vlora to Ksamil, the Albanian Riviera is a sun-drenched paradise lined with golden beaches, small fishing villages, and endless blue horizons.
Dhermi – Known for its turquoise waters and chic beach bars.
Himara – Peaceful, authentic, and ideal for families or couples.
Ksamil Islands – Albania’s very own Maldives, where the sea sparkles in shades of blue you won’t believe exist.
Whether you dream of lively beach clubs or secluded coves, the Riviera offers the perfect summer rhythm — your way.
