Destinations

Sarande, Albania

Sarande is the gateway to the Albanian Riviera with a lively promenade and great seafood restaurants along the waterfront. Don't miss a day trip to the ancient ruins of Butrint, a UNESCO World Heritage Site just 18km away. The old Lëkurësi Castle offers stunning panoramic views over the bay at sunset.
Ksamil, Albania

Ksamil is a small beach village with crystal-clear turquoise waters and three small islands you can swim or kayak to just offshore. The beaches here are among the most beautiful in the Mediterranean and very affordable compared to nearby Greek islands. Try fresh grilled fish and mussels at one of the many laid-back beach shacks lining the shore.
