Summer: non-stop flights to Albania from London starting from £32
Europe's cheapest coastline is still flying under the radar.
While everyone else is queuing for a £7.30 pint in the City, you could be on a beach in Albania for less than the cost of a round of drinks. Wizz Air flies non-stop from London to Albania from £32 return, no stopovers, just a couple of hours and you're there.

💰 How far does your money go?
A cappuccino in Tirana costs around £1.50, less than a third of what you'd pay near a London office. A local beer runs about £2, cheaper than a can from a corner shop back home. A full meal with a drink comes in under £13, roughly the price of a Zone 1 meal deal and a coffee.
☀️ The Weather
Albania holds onto summer well into September. Expect highs of 28°C at the start of the month, easing to a still-warm 24°C by the end, with plenty of sunshine and only the occasional shower. Evenings stay mild, perfect for dinner outside without needing a jacket.
🏨 Where to Stay
From simple boutique stays to five-star comfort in the capital.
Kastria Hotel — 9.3/10 · From £45/night Modern rooms close to Skanderbeg Square, ideal if you want to walk everywhere.
Xheko Imperial Hotel — 8.9/10 · From £65/night A central base right by the big park, with a rooftop bar for evening drinks.
Maritim Hotel Plaza Tirana — 9.4/10 · From £110/night Five-star comfort in the heart of the city, with a spa and pool to recover after long flight days.
🎯 What to Do
Tirana mixes communist-era history with a buzzing café scene.
Bunk'Art 1 and 2 — Cold War bunkers turned museums, built to survive a nuclear strike that never came. Skanderbeg Square — The city's centre, ringed by Ottoman mosques and communist-era buildings. Blloku district — Once off-limits to ordinary Albanians, now full of cafes, bars and street art. Dajti Express cable car — A ride up Mount Dajti for panoramic views over the whole city.
If you want to pack light for the trip, this vacuum backpack means you'll never pay Ryanair baggage fees again.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Tirana is the gateway, but the Albanian Riviera is the real reason to come in summer.
Sarande — A four-hour drive south, with turquoise water and a lively seafront promenade. Ksamil — Just past Sarande, known for some of the clearest beaches in the Mediterranean. Vlore — Where the Adriatic meets the Ionian, with a quieter, more local feel.
Fares from £32 to Albania won't last through the summer. Book before the September dates go.
