The ‘Maldives of Europe’ with clear blue seas and £2 pints | Europe | Travel
We all yearn for sun-soaked summer holidays, but with the cost of going abroad increasing each year, saving up for a European break seems increasingly challenging.
Imagine if there was a destination, hailed as the “Maldives of Europe”, where you could jet off to for “less than the price of a Domino’s pizza?” Sounds enticing, doesn’t it?
That’s precisely what @kieranbrowntravel claims you can do, and his chosen destination appears to be nothing short of idyllic.
Kieran said pints can be as cheap as £1.10 – although his video was made in 2024, and many travellers now claim prices are closer to £2 a pop. There are also accommodation options as cheap as £25 per night, and Kieran has described the place as a “paradise”.
Kieran said: “Why go on an expensive summer Europe trip to Greece, Italy, or Croatia when you can go to this underrated unknown gem?” The stunning location he was talking about is Ksamil in Albania.
He explained the average temperature between the months of May to September is 28 degrees, “meaning it’s the perfect summer destination.”
“Make the most of this destination before it gets too popular and the price increases,” he urged. He said there were beach clubs, the nightlife was great, and the sunsets were impressive too. Kieran said they were some of the most beautiful he’d seen.
“After visiting 100 countries, this is definitely up there in my favourites,” Kieran admitted. He said you can either “fly into the capital and transfer to the south,” or “fly to Corfu in Greece and get a short boat over.”
In the comment section, a sceptical user said: “Just looked. One week all inclusive £1,600pp where you getting your info lad?” To which Kieran shot back with a tip: “Why would you book an all-inclusive when the beer costs £1 and the hotels are £20. Book it separately without all-inclusive.”
Another chimed in with some booking tips: “Most reservations are made in January for the summer, today you can’t find a cheap flight for next week. Especially from October to April there are [£10] flights.”
