Hotels in Albanian Riviera, Albania

The Albanian Riviera runs along the Ionian Sea in southern Albania, known for its clear waters and the UNESCO ruins of Butrint, which include Greek and Roman remains. Summer temperatures average 86°F (30°C) from June to August, ideal for swimming and kayaking in the turquoise sea, while milder spring and fall between March and May or September and October are better for hiking the Llogara Pass or exploring Butrint's ancient amphitheater without the crowds. During winter, highs near 55°F (13°C) make it a quiet time for a budget-friendly road trip along the coastal road from Vlora to Saranda, with fewer tourists and lower prices.
