Ksamil in Albania – the new under-the-radar destination – has been hailed by travel experts as a European paradise similar to the Maldives, writes Max Channon in an article published in the British daily “Daily Express.”
The beautiful coastal village with white sand and turquoise waters is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the top summer holiday destinations – a place most Britons never thought they would visit!
Until a few years ago, Ksamil in Albania was not on the radar of most tourists when it came to a summer holiday destination.
However, travel experts have listed Albania as a hidden European paradise and a budget destination – similar to the Maldives.
Holidays in Ksamil offer a peaceful escape in the embrace of nature.
Ksamil is known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters, sandy beaches, and secluded islands.
“From sunbathing to enjoying the freshest seafood, Ksamil holidays capture the essence of a Mediterranean paradise,” writes lastminute.com.
Ksamil is a beach destination – considered the paradise of southern Albania.
The Albanian Riviera has many beautiful beaches. But this place gives the feeling of beaches in Bora Bora.
Unlike other Mediterranean beaches, Ksamil is still a quiet and isolated place – with crystal-clear and turquoise waters.
The coastal village offers white sand and fantastic views of the Ionian coast.
Moreover, the beach is surrounded by stunning mountainous landscapes.
Hotel prices in Ksamil range from 25-45 euros, depending on the 3 or 4-star hotels you choose or the month you visit.
Albania is not expensive to visit. Compared to other European countries, Albania is a cheap holiday destination.
The average daily travel costs are 42 euros per person per day.
A double room in a hotel costs 25-40 euros. A cheap meal is 2-4 euros, while at a local restaurant it costs 4-10 euros.
Albanian food is similar to Greek, Turkish, and Italian food. There are many places offering Greek salad, grilled meat, and gyros. Throughout Albania, you can see Italian-style restaurants, shops, and supermarkets. Desserts like baklava and Turkish coffee are also offered.
Travel blogger Fleming Ware wrote on her site “wareontheglobe” that Ksamil’s beaches were wonderful. She praised the cheap prices, good food, friendly people, and excellent weather.
