Ksamil Islands - The Jewel of the Albanian Riviera (Best Things to Do | Mediterranean Paradise) 🇦🇱

Hi Team!
In this video, we arrive at the mesmerising, serene, picturesque and vibrant Ksamil Islands - the jewel of the Albanian Riviera.
We had heard mixed opinions on Ksamil and wanted to discover it for ourselves. It’s an emerging tourism destination and Albania is beginning to mark itself as a strong contender for the ultimate Mediterranean beach holiday.
With uber chic beach clubs, delicious seafood, a variety of water sports and of course, a host of beautiful and accessible offshore islands, it definitely deserves a place on your bucket list! ( … especially if you are based in Europe - the flights are super cheap!). The surrounding regions can be a bit 'scruffy' as Albania is in construction mode to deliver all of these amazing hotels / tourist sites to us, so a bit of patience is needed at times. Overall, the Ksamil Islands are incredibly charming however.
If you’re keen to check out the rest of our trip through Albania, then see my other videos on Tirana and our road trip down to Ksamil. We visited some incredible places!
Hope you enjoy!
A xx
Thanks to ‪@mstarling79‬ for the epic drone footage across the beautiful Ksamil Islands 🙏

Have seen the French riviera but this is my video of the Albanian riviera. In the ocean of travel videos this is a rare pearl. Blown away by the beauty of this place. Thanks for the fabulous masterpiece. The beautiful travel moments of a royal lady with a big smile.

Ksamil looks like such a hidden gem! The mix of stunning beaches, chic beach clubs, and those beautiful offshore islands definitely makes it a must-visit. I’ve been curious about Albania as a travel destination, and your video really shows why it’s becoming so popular. Can’t wait to check out your other videos on Tirana and the road trip - thanks for sharing your adventures!

I didn't know Albania had a riviera as well as islands and beaches

[@TheLensCapChronicles]

Yes! It seems to be well discovered in Europe but as an Australian I wasn't aware. It was a fantastic surprise! The natural beauty is incredible.

Hi Amanda. I'm planning a 5-day tour in Albania. Should i take accommodation in Ksamil or Saranda?

[@TheLensCapChronicles]

Hi! Thanks for reaching out. It depends quite a bit on the experience you are hoping for. Will all 5 days be in the same region? Do you want to experience a larger city or smaller town? Ksamil is busy with tourists but walkable and more of an intimate (but expensive) beach club experience that can be discovered in a few days. Each beach club is usually based on its own separate cove & you can visit smaller islands off of the coast. Sarande is a larger city experience but still has long stretches of beach clubs. The beach clubs tend to run one into another as the stretch of beach is so long. However, there are probably more options for nightlife in the evening. From what I saw personally, I liked Ksamil better. It depends on your personal preference, however. I hope this helps!

[@kims1912]

@TheLensCapChronicles what beach club did you rent the chairs at?

[@TheLensCapChronicles]

Hi! It was called Tre Ishujt Beach Club at Beach Number 7.

[@wonderofnature7817]

Hi guys. Nice video. How many points from 1 to 10 would you give to Albania if we describe it in points?😊

[@navidhan369]

8/10

[@TheLensCapChronicles]

Hi! That's a difficult question because there are so many variables - natural beauty, experiences, food, accommodation, transport, infrastructure ... I try to incorporate all of these aspects in my videos so I don't have to give a final ranking which is highly subjective and nuanced 😉 Thanks for watching! Appreciate the comment 🙏

[@philipg7929]

What dates did you go? Thank ypu

[@TheLensCapChronicles]

Hi! We went in June/July 😊

[@gabrielbastin8282]

is there any way to just og in the water, not on the sand, but without paying in ksamil ? thanks

[@TheLensCapChronicles]

Hi! I didn’t see any public beaches and have also done a quick Google search. It doesn’t appear like you can swim in the water unless you pay at a beach…. Unless you have your own boat or paddle board I guess! Good luck!

[@BekoBeko-uh2uz]

Yes I live here and planty of public beaches all over albania 🇦🇱

What month was this? I was 2nd week of august was really really busy in every corner, Stunning and foam parties every day. The only thing we didnt like was music everywhere and some of restaurants you had to wait cos was so busy. Loved Albania Vlore is better tho

[@TheLensCapChronicles]

@@edbocaj3071 Hi! We visited in June/July. I think we were a little bit more lucky! It wasn’t too busy for us and we didn’t need to wait at restaurants. There was definitely music everywhere through! Thanks for your comment.

[@edbocaj3071]

@@TheLensCapChronicles Ah i thought so , next time i will visit in june too or early july. August is super busy and very loud in Ksamil. Great video tho i am still in albania and dont want to leave,

[@D.H.Alb.24]

August is usually the busiest month. Anytime between April to September-October is very warm in Albania 🇦🇱 and you can still go to the beach 🏖️ I would avoid July- August because it gets too crowded. In winter is also great to visit, especially the north. The snow-covered peaks of the Albanian Alps are also popular for winter sports, with Valbona and the national parks providing a range of trails for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Aside from sports, winter in Albania is a good time to discover its rich cultural heritage. 🇦🇱
