Paradise on a budget?! Here is how you can visit Ksamil in Albania. This lesser known paradise is growing in popularity and is a great option for anyone looking for white sands, crystal clear sea and great prices. We stayed in a two bedroom apartment for 6 nights for just £200! May and June are great times to visit before the crowds arrive in July and August. ᵃᵈ
When people see pictures of this place they instantly think of the Maldives! But lucky for us, it’s a lot closer to home (if you live in Europe that is 😅) Ksamil is a small village on the Albanian Riviera. It has been growing in popularity over the last few years and for very good reason. The beaches are absolutely amazing, the food is delicious and you can travel here on a really tight budget. We were drinking pints of beer for £1.50 🍻 Eating delicious seafood for less than £10 🦐 and our two bedroom apartment with sea view was less than £35 per night! I’ll be posting more about our trip in the coming days.
Save this for your bucket list 🤩🌴 We have heard so many great things about Ksamil and have been wanting to check it out for months. We have a free week and nowhere to be, so off we go! I’ll be posting more about this fantastic destination over the coming weeks 😍 #ksamilalbania #ksamil #albania🇦🇱
Replying to @Faye We rarely stay in fancy hotels, to keep our holidays super cheap we often find a basic apartment in a great location, with a nice view. As long as its clean and has all the facilities we need, it makes the perfect base for our travels. When you spend all day out on the beach or exploring, you just need a comfortable place to come back and shower/rest before the next day!
If you’re looking for a budget friendly destination with white sands, clear blue sea, historic sights to explore, delicious food and cheap beer 🍻 Ksamil in Albania might be for you 🤩 I have just published a blog post on our website about how you can get there, some accommodation recommendations and things you can do whilst there!
If you’re looking for white sand, crystal turquoise sea and great prices - Ksamil in Albania is a great budget friendly holiday option. Top things to know: ✈️ Fly in to Corfu and get the ferry to Sarande. Alternatively fly to Tirana and drive 4 hours to Ksamil. 🍺 Key fact: you can get a pint for £1.50. 😃 The locals are very welcoming of tourists, we didn’t have any safety concerns whilst there. 🗓️ We visited in May when the beaches were almost empty and the weather was good. May, June and September will be much less busy than July and August. 🏛️ There’s more than just beaches. The ancient city of Butrint is just 5 minutes away on the bus. 🍝 Restaurant meals from as little as £2.50. 🏠 Our two bedroom apartment was £35 per night.
