Albania beaches
Albania is located on the coast of two seas - the Adriatic and the Ionian. The northern regions of Albania are not as popular among tourists as the southern ones. It is understandable, because the climatic conditions of the south are more suitable for recreation. But the best sandy beaches of Albania are located on the Adriatic coast.
Adriatic coast
The most famous beaches of the Adriatic coast: Velipoia; Shengjin; Durres; Kawaii. All these beaches are sandy. Importantly, the beaches of Albania are all public and free. Lovers of coastal walks will love the softness and tenderness of the sand on the seashore. The infrastructure is developed at an average level. Everything that an ordinary vacationer needs is within the reach here: round-the-clock cafes, shops, restaurants with live music are located almost everywhere. One of the most popular beaches in Albania - Durres - stretches along the coastline for 15 km. It has very warm and gentle sea water, and the sand contains a large amount of iodine..
Popular is the town of Shengjin, located a little to the north on the Adriatic coast. Despite the fact that the city is located in the northern region, the climate here is warm. This is due to the fact that Shengjin is closed from cool winds by the mountain range. The area attracts tourists who prefer clean air.
Ionian coast
Many of Albania's famous beaches are located on the Ionian coast. The coastline of the resorts, stretching between the cities of Vlore and Sandra, is called «Riviera of Flowers».
The most favorite beaches of the Ionian coast of the country are: Dhermi; Borsh; Keparo; Yal. These places are famous for the purest sea water and the amazing landscape of the mountains. Unlike the coast of the Adriatic Sea, there are exclusively pebble beaches.
Many tourists in Albania prefer the beaches of the cities of Dhermi and Himara. Dhermi has the most developed infrastructure, but prices in this area are also designed for wealthy tourists. This city is loved by the Albanian elite.
The Albanian Saranda is also known. This town is located on the coast of the bay and the beaches are located right within the city. Despite this, the water in the sea is clean. The beaches of Saranda offer all coastal entertainment. Here you can rent a jet ski, scooter or catamaran. In addition, in recent years, active construction of modern summer houses for vacationers has been carried out in this city, so there are no problems with housing..
