The Best Beaches in Albania for Uncrowded Shores and Idyllic Resorts

"If we had to draw up a list of the best of the best of Albania’s beach destinations, the Ksamil Islands would at least be among our top three, if not in the top spot. This archipelago, 12 miles from Sarandë, is more than just a postcard image. Instead it feels like something from a dream: four wooded islands in the middle of an unbelievable turquoise sea. While you likely will be won over after viewing them from a distance, wait until you reach the white-sand beaches (a rarity in an area where pebbles are more common). As you look out at the horizon, you’ll see a number of other islands that appear so close that you’ll want to reach out and touch them." - Redacción Condé Nast Traveler
