Why Albania is Your Ultimate Summer Escape

Move over, overpriced Mediterranean spots! Albania is officially the “cool kid” of the Balkans this summer. If you’re dreaming of crystal-clear turquoise waters without the insane crowds of Ibiza or Mykonos, the Albanian Riviera is calling your name. From the stunning islands of Ksamil to the hidden coves of Himare, you’ll get those Maldives-worthy photos for a fraction of the cost.

If you get bored of lounging on the beach, head straight to the Accursed Mountains in the north. Don’t let the name scare you; places like Theth and Valbona offer some of the most epic hiking trails in Europe. Think jagged peaks, emerald rivers, and stone-built villages where time seems to have stood still. It’s the perfect spot to unplug, breathe in the mountain air, and enjoy some seriously good local hospitality.

The vibe in the cities is just as electric. Tirana is a colorful explosion of street art, trendy cafes, and history that hits you at every corner. Whether you’re exploring an old Cold War bunker turned art gallery or partying in the Blloku district, Albania has a unique energy that’s hard to find anywhere else. It’s raw, it’s beautiful, and it’s waiting for you to discover it before the rest of the world catches on!
