Albania's Caribbean — turquoise water, four tiny islands within swimming distance, under 4h from Helsinki.
Ksamil is the crown jewel of Albania's southern riviera — a white-sand coastline opposite Corfu, with four tiny islands within swimming distance offshore. The UNESCO-listed ancient city of Butrint is a 10-minute drive away, and an evening walk along the Saranda estuary is quiet and authentic. Albania is one of Europe's last peaceful beach destinations — prices are half of those in Greece or Croatia.
