Albania's Dream Coast

With the coming summer, the question that we hear most often from readers has to do with vacations.

Some seek a place on the sea, a simple and free country to cross just a week off the beautiful but chaotic Italian shores. Our answer is always only Albania, a country we're in love with. Yes, why choose Albanian beaches during the summer? The sea, such as in dreams, convenient prices and warm hospitality, writes one of the most popular and specialized sites for tourism, 2backpack.it.

Unfortunately, we have concluded that there are prejudices in this direction, which we in Italy know very little. Perhaps because of its difficult past, we Italians still have the imagination of a poor and a little hospitable country, without thinking that Albanians are rich in resources and are willing to move forward.

What can Albania resume, besides tourism? Because with the natural beauty it possesses, this country can take out many other tourist sites in Europe and, after visiting it extensively for several months, we are sure that it will be Albania's favourite summer residence in the years to come.

Since its popularity grows especially in August, we advise you to promote, with Albanian prices, rather than Italian, and advise the Albanian Travel Agency.

Another reason for us Italians to visit this country is that we have found many localities in this country with a delightful Italian, and we can say that with this people we have many things in common like mentality, lifestyle, other customs. Here we stayed both at home and for that we wrote, in the hope that little more information is needed for all to understand that Albania is a wonderful, secure, hospitable country, two steps from Italy, and less populated and expensive than Greece and Croatia.

Since geography is not an opinion, Albania shares the same waters as Croatia and Greece, but for many years its shores have been virgin and uninhibited. Consider some of the positive things of decades of isolation. The Albanian coast is a spectacle of nature, and in many areas there is still no construction speculation.

Although the country's north reserve surprises along the coast, Albania's most beautiful areas are from Vlora to the border with Greece. Here are some of the beaches we've loved most on the southern coast, some developed as tourist spots, and some still virgin, amazing and perfect for nature worshipers.

Carburun

If you watch the maps, you will notice that beneath the city of Vlora, there is the green Karaburun Peninsula. This former military area of entry was banned for many years, until its demilitarisation in the 1990s. The area was transformed into a national park and can now be visited by boats that all leave near Vlora. If you want to visit Karaburun, you cannot lose sight of the Gulf of Grama, a rich area of natural rock where pirates were once sheltered and marked by crystal water. Rare beauty also contains white tarts, which are advised to be discovered in peace and in a complete relax.

Toothfulness

Walking south, some of the most beautiful destinations for local tourism are reached. Our mercy was truly a discovery. An incredible, beautiful, stenographic stretch of coastline, with dark blue seas, white stones and mountains near the sea, where locals and restaurants offered an atmosphere of pleasure, without chaos and noise, as we are accustomed to seeing in our own revival. Here we ate roasted fish by selecting them by hand from fishing boats and serving from restaurants. What's in our Romegna is a luxury dinner to empty my wallet, in these areas is worth a pizza. Besides the beach, this place is ideal for mountain worshipers. In the summer months, Drimad is overcrowded, especially on weekends by the country's tourists, but since there are many surrounding beaches, even at this time it is possible to find isolated and quiet areas, such as Drimad hes, located a few miles farther north, and it is accessible on a walk.

Himara

This is the country with the bluest sea in all of Albania and is a strategic point to visit other countries, always beautiful, but less frequent. While Himara is super-visited at the peak of summer (confronting hotels and enjoyable prices), the nearby beaches, such as Lyman, Livadhi, one north and the other south, offer the same panoramas, clear waters, and panoramic mountains.

Porto Palermo

Going south on a miraculous sea route, you will arrive on the small peninsula of Porto Palermo, so called Italians during World War II. Here, in addition to the sea as in dreams, you will see many bunkers dating back to the time of monism as well as a fortress dating back to the Ottoman Empire.

Borshi

At a close distance, you will find one of the most picturesque villages on the Albanian coast. The village of Borshi. With Sopot's fortress at the top of the mountain, it offers an amazing view of the coast, its six - mile [6 km] long, beautiful line. To reach the sea, you must cross the olive and agrum streets that offer a rare and unique natural spectacle. Borshi is an example of the primitive nature in Albania, with a sea and mountains creating an amazing beauty.

KSamil

Walking towards Greece, just before the border lies one of the most amazing destinations of the entire Albanian coast. In this case, it is true to feel overcrowding the summer season and the natural beauty of this section of the coast, a few miles from the city of Saranda. Ksamili is not in vain called the Pearl of the Balkans. This sea area, close to the island of Corfu, with clear blue water, schematic coastline, and all to be discovered. If you look for a little night's life, this is the right place for you, because there are lots of locals and on the beach, many weekend parties. / ATSk/
