@thetravelmum: 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. #ksamilalbania #ksamil #albania #bestbeaches #cheaptravel #budgettravel #maldives #thetravelmum
When you do post more could you put your accommodation details please

it looks absolutely nothing like the maldives but it's amazing though, if you want a budget friendly summer vacation :)

You cannot compare any beach or nature in Europe with the tropical Maldives.

Albanian here: Ksamil is beautiful but visit OFF SEASON only. There are 100s of beautiful hidden bays along the coast i can rec before Ksamil.

Looks beautiful but don’t compare it to Maldives, they look nothing alike 😅 Maybe Croatia would be a better comparison here.

I absolutely do not recommend it, you feel like going 30 years back in the past, the water is full of trash

Their sunbed with that canopy infront of the beach cost 200Euros for a day’s rent, I don’t think that’s cheap.. sunbed rental by the beach in Greece and Italy is much cheaper than Ksamil Albania😃
