10. Albania’s Riviera: Europe’s Last Undiscovered Coastline

While Italy, Spain, and Croatia get the summer rush, Albania’s coastline remains blissfully quiet. The Albanian Riviera, with its turquoise waters, secluded beaches, and charming villages, is one of Europe’s best-kept secrets. Ksamil, Himarë, and Dhërmi offer Mediterranean beauty at a fraction of the cost, with fewer tourists and warm, welcoming locals. The nearby ancient city of Butrint, a UNESCO site, is an incredible archaeological wonder that you can often explore in near solitude.
