in beaches •  6 years ago 

The shorelines in Albania, a stretch of land from Shkodra to Ksamil, is a standout amongst the most lovely places to visit in Europe. With its immaculate shorelines, old villages, and lovely vistas, this part of Albania is an absolute must-see destination along the Balkan trail. Here's my list of the 8 most stunning beaches of Albania (Land of the Eagles):

Cape of Rodon, a great adventure in the Adriatic Sea

Cape of Rodon, one of the best spots of Adriatic Sea in Albania. Beautiful nature of this virgin cape makes it much more beautiful! Located 57 km from the capital of Albania, Tirana and 49 km from Durres makes this Cape reachable for everyone. It is a very popular destination for the locals, who go there for a picnic and swimming into the Adriatic Sea.

Plazhi i Gjeneralit, quiet beach in the Adriatic sea

Plazhi i Gjeneralit is a great quiet beach located near the city of Kavaja, Albania. The name means General beach, and it is named from an Italian General during the WWII, because he was amazed from this bay, and he went back to Italy to bring his family on holiday here too.

Thrown Sand Shëngjin, a great sand hill in Albania

Thrown Sand is a very popular destination in the Adriatic Sea. It is located in the coastal town of Shëngjin - Northern Albania, near the city of Shkodra. This destination is well known for its calmness.

Gjipe beach, the beautiful coastline in Southern Albania

Gjipe beach is one of the most beautiful beaches of the Ionian Sea, is located in the south part of Albania, near the village of Dhërmi, and it is a very popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. If you want to know the reason why this destination is so popular, you need to go there and try it. I am sure that this journey would be one of the best ones you ever had!

Kakome bay, the quiet bay of the Ionian sea

Are you planning for a day trip far from the noise and crowded beaches? I think Kakome bay has them both! When you add this the beautiful virgin nature and clean Ionian sea, this destination is a must!

Krorëz beach, the virgin paradise of the Ionian Sea

Krorëz beach, in my opinion, is in the top 3 of the best virgin beaches of Albania. There I enjoyed the cleanest and the clearest water of any time. This beach is located in the south of Albania, between the city of Himara and Saranda.

Grama bay and Shën Andre Bay - the heaven on Earth

Grama Bay and Shën Andre Bay are on top of the most beautiful outdoor destinations I’ve ever seen. Located in an unexplored part of Albania, the Bays remain to be virgin. Hiking from Palasë to Shen Andre first, and then to Grama Bay, is one of the most beautiful hikes in southern Albania.

The photo above is from Shën Andre Bay. This Bay is exceptionally astounding with its uncommon sand and its water. The water is spotless and has an extraordinary shading. Here you will have the chance to appreciate the sun and the find in this perfect corner of the coast.After arriving at the Shën Andre Bay, there is around 4.5 km left to the Grama Bay. The trail runs parallel with the sea as well, and it is extremely wonderful. You will take after the way, to the point that you land to an old military station which was utilized amid the communist time. From that point, you can appreciate the most delightful perspective of this hike, the perspective of the Grama Bay. It is an immaculate shoreline in an extraordinary environment, where you can appreciate the nature or bathe in the perfectly clear seawater. Check it:
