EL PARAISO EN ALBANIA, KSAMIL | ALBANIA #11

I have arrived at Xamil which is next to the National Park where Butrinto is now It is a very typical tourist-resort place here on the Adriatic coast It is surely one Among the most beautiful beaches in all of Albania if not the most beautiful one It's normal because it is Little pegadito pegadito to Corfu From here from Xamil you can see the island of Corfu in Greece Then they share many of the beaches The sea obviously because it's the same right The same The tone the temperature everything is the same So everyone always tourism He always goes to Greece these islands are overcrowded and areas like Albania are left more for the tourists National tourism It is true that international tourism is growing more and more in these areas areas and that the beaches here are not so big but still it's a place that gets a lot more traffic unnoticed and well worth seeing because of the colors both of the sand which is Completely white like water which is clear a very light blue it's amazing Another advantage of coming off-season here in early May is that we're about 25 percent less crowded Degrees The temperature is perfect not burning It's perfect for the beach and there's no one around That is to say There are people but very very few I mean I'm here now it's 12 o'clock which is normally when you go to a place Greek island a beach at 12 and you can't find a spot even three kilometers away and now is whe There's space for everyone on the beach This is a paradise I came here to eat at a restaurant called Gubad near well it's right where The area of all the beaches and it looks very nice It has spectacular views of everything What is this area like You've already seen that the water is well everything is impressive here So nothing else It is highly recommended on Google Maps So I'll tell you about it I'm already at the hotel Xamil where I'm going to spend the night and well first I'm going to tell you I quickly went to eat This place that I told you about It's pretty good It's not the best I've ever eaten certainly bu Well for being a place like that vacation and all it was good and plus the views were spectacular That cannot be denied Moreover there was no one else That is in that aspect perfect It is true that it has been a A bit more expensive I had some meatballs with potatoes and then as a main course some pasta Carbonara which is quite delicious All of this with orange juice and well a Coca-Cola and the A café with milk Then everything was good I mean not excellent enough to launch rockets but it was okay Quite rich and it is a bit more expensive than the rest of the trip In other words it's noticeable for the typical vacation spots that charge a bit more If during the rest of the trip I had never paid more tha 10 euros for a full meal because here I end up paying 20 for everything So it's noticeable bu Okay no problem It's still fine And I came to the hotel now and there's no electricity It has been like this for a while The girl said there's a blackout all over Shkodër and Sarandë That means there's no electricity You can see there's some Power outage Well I'm going to rest a bit I'll show you the room It doesn't have much He has the crib here This is the room The bathroom is over here This is quite good And over here Some views that do not face the beach It has a small terrace Here there is a kind of small garden the street of The ways The beach is in that direction but it's nowhere Twenty meters from here is the beach It's very good located So well that's what I wanted To be well located and quite cheap I imagine that's because It's still out of season But anyway you can find a room for 20 euros or so Maybe double in summer I don't know And it's just as hard to find her Well I've been resting a bit at the hotel There was as I've already told you That power outage lasted several hours And from what I've been told the one at the hotel happens quite often So it's not unusual You might find it strange if you come here and experience it In fact I've been without electricity and water Perfect because I wanted to I was going to pack my things and take a shower Well I haven't been able to do anything until a while ago Then I finally could I'm taking a walk now as it's about to get dark It had seemed like it was going to rain bu Okay looks like it's holding up It's making a really nice sunset I highly recommend De Xamil if you're looking for that paradise beach vibe that Greek feel They are really beautiful It's true that some of them don't have much space This one for example One is in front of the hotel and seems to be a good place to rest The water is spectacular It's a bit cooler than in summer but once you get in and do a few strokes You're perfect And honestly it's great I mean it's a peace to be here Swimming here with these views It makes you want to stay forever A new day begins It's half past six in the morning and I already told you I'm waking up Very soon these days I'm going to say goodbye to Xamil now I have loved this little town I'm leaving I miss it a lot because it's a paradise and plus knowing that it's all yours It's a I hate to have to leave but well I'm going to start going back up the country now I'm heading towards The north towards Tirana but well I will arrive in Tirana tomorrow the capital Today what I am going to do is I'll take a little drive along the Adriatic coast I'll make a few stops along the way It's a road quite scenic in other words it's not the most direct but it is more beautiful Although the path Well it will probably also be going along the mountain quite slowly but anyway there's no rush And that's stopping in some small towns or to see Some viewpoints And nothing else so let's see what we find But Xamil is highly recommended He has just arrived in Imare which is a town a little further north It is a A quite well-known town you know for vacation purposes It has some How many beautiful beaches are there like this one where I am which is the Prinos Beach It is In the heart of the promenade like the rest of the cities It has its small shops its beaches their hotels but it's not as well-known as for example the city where I'll be staying This is the city of Vlore which will be one of the largest in this area Then This is a great option if you're looking for something more peaceful especially for the summer It's when the whole area is most saturated And Vlore where I'm going will probably be quite busy Up Places like Imare which are not as touristy can be a good option An alternative to find such a beautiful beach area that is a bit more peaceful
