Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been to Albania a few times. Uh, so when I saw it pop up on Virgin Voyages um 2027 Med itineraries, I thought, "Yeah, that's pretty impressive."

It's it's got to be one of the hottest destinations in Europe. Um, and especially on the south coast.

So, um, the place that most people will want to head to is Sil. Um, so it's just a short drive.

Maybe stay away from Iraqi. I don't know if you've ever tasted uh raki. It is absolutely lethal.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Visit Sil for beach clubs with hammocks over the water and platforms to jump off into the sea.
Pack plenty of water and a cap to protect yourself from the heat, especially when visiting the Blue Eye.
