Where The Adriatic Meets The Ionian

Albania's coastline runs from the long sandy beaches of the Adriatic to the turquoise bays of the Ionian. Vlorë, Durrës and Lezhë share the same ideal season, so they are easy to combine in one trip.

Best Time to Visit

June – September for swimming; May and October for quieter beaches and comfortable sightseeing.

Beaches & Boat Trips

Sandy Adriatic beaches around Durrës and Lezhë, and boat trips to hidden coves from Vlorë.

Seafood & Promenades

Fresh seafood, lively seaside promenades, and sunsets over the water every evening.
