🇦🇱Albania
Albania has emerged as one of Europe's best-value bases, pairing a long Adriatic and Ionian coastline with low prices and surprising warmth toward visitors. Capital Tirana is energetic and increasingly cafe-driven, while southern beach towns like Sarande offer turquoise water at a fraction of Croatian costs. Infrastructure is improving fast, English is widely spoken among the young, and your budget stretches a long way.
