Hotels in Albanian Riviera, Albania
The Albanian Riviera stretches along the Ionian Sea from Vlore to Saranda, famous for its turquoise waters, pebble beaches, and UNESCO-listed Butrint archaeological site. Summer temperatures reach the high 80s F (low 30s C), ideal for swimming, kayaking, and exploring the 4th-century BC ruins, while winter highs around 50s F (10s C) invite you to hike the Llogara Pass or visit the 16th-century castle of Porto Palermo. You can also take a boat to the remote Ksamil Islands or drive the winding coastal road for panoramic views of the sea.
