TIRANA, June 18 – Ksamil appears in a list of Mediterranean “paradise islands” that must be visited, according to Italian media Fanpage.it. The report highlights Albania as an increasingly attractive and affordable summer destination for 2026.

At the same time, Albania features more frequently in rankings of budget-friendly yet visually striking destinations. Ksamil stands out for its natural beauty, small islands, and clear waters. The area attracts thousands of tourists from across Europe every year.

Meanwhile, Fanpage.it points to geopolitical uncertainty and economic pressure on holiday planning. These factors, in turn, increase demand for low-cost travel options. The outlet selected five European destinations for a July holiday week, based on travel, accommodation, and living costs.

In addition, the media outlet places Albania alongside Greece, Croatia, Malta, and Türkiye. It highlights Ksamil for crystal-clear waters, scenic landscapes, and relatively low costs. The report presents the destination as suitable for affordable beach holidays.

Located in southern Albania near the Greek border, the area sits opposite the island of Corfu. It has become a major Balkan tourist destination in recent years. As a result, clear waters and small islands have strengthened its popularity.

Moreover, Ksamil lies within Butrint National Park and near the Butrint archaeological site, a UNESCO World Heritage property. The area preserves Greek, Roman, and Byzantine remains.

At the same time, Fanpage.it highlights white sandy beaches and turquoise waters, comparing the scenery to the Caribbean. It also notes kayaking and boat trips along the coast.

Finally, the report estimates costs for a one-week holiday for two people between 18 and 25 July at around 300–350 euros per person, including transport and accommodation. It describes Ksamil as one of the cheapest and most attractive summer destinations in Europe.
