With rough mountains falling headfirst into bright blue seas, the coastal drive between Vlora and Saranda is easily one of the most spectacular in Eastern Europe and shouldn't missed by any visitor to Albania. While beaches can be jam-packed in August, there's plenty of space, peace and happy-to-see-you faces in the low season.
As you zigzag down the mountain from the Llogaraja Pass National Park, the white crescent-shape beaches and azure waters lure you from below. The first beach before the alluvial fan is Palasa, and it's one of the best, and least developed beaches around, perfect for chilling out for a night or two if you have a tent. The next beach along is Drymades beach. To get here leave for main road for Dhërmi, then take the first right (signposted for the Turtle Club) and you'll reach the rocky white beach in 20 mins via the sealed road that twists through olive groves.
