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

Fancy a spontaneous trip away but no idea where to go? Why not play @Skyscanner roulette?! ᵃᵈ

Cinque Terre is a beautiful coastal region in north western Italy. Translated to Five Lands, it is made up of five towns - Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. The quickest and best value way to explore all five towns is to buy a Cinque Terre express card, currently priced at €18.20, it allows you to use the trains all day plus access the walking trails. Alternatively single train tickets are €5. We visited here after playing @Skyscanner roulette and finding the cheapest flights to Genoa! From there it is really easy to get the train and explore the coast. Have you visited the five towns?! Which was your favourite? ᵃᵈ
