Albania, on Southeastern Europe’s Balkan Peninsula, is a small country with Adriatic and Ionian coastlines and an interior crossed by the Albanian Alps.
Albania’s southern coastline, with its lovely traditional hamlets, cobblestoned streets and small Orthodox churches, has plenty of beautiful beaches lapped by pristine waters.
Amongst the number of gorgeous beaches that Albania has, here we have listed our few favorite ones.
Drymades can be described as small bay near the village of Dhërmi with a large rock that divides the pebbly beach from the sandy one. This most beautiful beach of Albania is a perfect place to spend some time relaxing.
