Turquoise waters, impeccable beaches, lush nature … no, you are not in the Maldive, but in Europe! Discover this still confidential destination that will make your Instagram signals pale of envy.
Do you dream of the Maldives, but do you fear the long flight and the price of the stay? What if we tell you that an equally breathtaking alternative has hidden much closer to home in Europe? On Tiktok and Instagram, a trend is all the anger: the ‘dupes’, this cheaper, but just as beautiful alternatives to products or destinations that are too expensive.
In the travel field is a specific destination to reduce the lion’s share thanks to this mode. The breathtaking landscapes and crystalline waters have earned a flattering nickname for several years. “It looks like the Maldive”, “The Beaches are superb”, “The Instagrammable Place” … The descriptions are complimentary on social networks where videos and photos (with or without filter?) There are many.
Even better, the term “Maldives de l’ura,” who regularly quoted from the country in possession of sublime photos, is now even imposed in certain tourist guides, especially across the channel.
It should be said that the parallel is striking at first glance: There are also impeccable beaches that extend as far as the eye can see, a sea with numerous shades of blue, secret inhale available and curious. Little Lake: We also find close to the fascinating archaeological sites. Welcome to … Albania!
Seaside resorts in the south of the country attract the largest number through their paradise. One of them in Ksamil is considered one of the most beautiful in Europe. Only downside: The good plan is known, the beaches already in the high season, and the places are expensive on the deck chairs by the sea. Instagrammable spots follow each other. For example, let us quote the sublime beach of Pema e Thate, very close to Ksamil with his beds standing to the sea.
The most beautiful in all this? Albania remains a very affordable destination compared to other European or global jewelery. One week in the hotel you cost an average of three times less than in the Maldives.
For travelers who want to discover more confidential Albania, it is also possible to explore websites classified at UNESCO. Let us quote the Kreshmoi cave, the old Byzantine city of Girkaster or the lagoon of the Butrint. Dhermi, Himara or Saranda will eventually be able to seduce you on the coast.
