It is bordered by the Adriatic and the Ionian Sea, and has 300 days of sunshine per year. Its coastline is made up of ancient castles, canyons, lemon groves, secluded coves, and beaches.
Here are the most beautiful beaches in the country, from Porto Palermo beach to Ksamil beach, on the other side of the sea from the Greek island of Corfu. The island of eagles is home to an ancient triangular-shaped castle and three limestone towers, built in 1804 by Ali Pasha, former governor of the Ottoman Empire. It looks like something out of a fairy tale: the place has retained a certain simplicity: no bars, no deckchairs, you swim on the sandy isthmus which connects the island to the land or just before, on Palermo beach. The most beautiful beach in Albania is in the north of Greece, opposite Italy. Grama Bay is an archaeological site on the Karaburun Peninsula. The caves add mystery to this idyllic place: turquoise waters, white pebbles, dense vegetation. Llaman beach is no less popular: the rental of parasols and deckchairs, foam evenings, and electronic music in summer. The Drymades are 2 kilometers of fine sand, pine forests, isolated coves and hidden bays. Dhermi is one of the most beautiful beaches in the country, tiny pebbles for more than a kilometer, turquoise water and parasols to rent for 1000 Lek (around 10 euros). The best beaches are in Himar and Palas, and the best are in Gjirokastra and Elbasan. The best places to swim in Albania are in the Adriatic Sea and in the north of the country, in the region of Kina and the north-eastern part of the island of Lesotho.
