The beaches
Albania's beaches are probably the most underrated but among the best in Europe. The village of Dhërmi toes the line between commercial and undiscovered, with just the right amount of local restaurants and welcoming guesthouses. At night, neighbouring Drymades caters to hedonistic holidaymakers with wild, alfresco beach parties - where you won't bump into Tom, Dick and Harry. Meanwhile, with seven kilometres of sand framed by olive groves and mountain peaks, Borsh is one of the largest but least visited coastal stretches in the country.
