By Irish News Highlights Albania as a Must-Visit Destination
In an article published by the Irish daily The Irish News, Sarah Marshall suggests ways to save on holiday expenses by choosing cost-effective destinations.
The beginning of a new year often brings fresh opportunities but is also accompanied by rising costs. However, despite inflation driving prices up in many parts of the world, there are still destinations where the cost of living remains low.
For travelers seeking to save without sacrificing sunshine or unique experiences, Marshall identifies six affordable destinations for 2025:
- Albania
- El Gouna, Egypt
- Galicia, Spain
- Voss, Norway
- Bosnia and Herzegovina
Albania: The Best Destination for Adventure
Whether wandering cobblestone streets, admiring mountain peaks, or swimming in turquoise waters, Albania’s charm is often likened to that of its neighbor across the Adriatic, Italy. However, Albania offers quieter beaches, hidden treasures, and significantly lower prices.
The Irish News recommends an eight-day journey through this Balkan gem to uncover its rich history and natural beauty. Highlights include:
- Discovering Albania’s past through the Ottoman, Fascist, and Soviet architecture in Tirana.
- Hiking the trails of the Valbona National Park.
- Relaxing on the golden beaches of the Albanian Riviera.
A recommended eight-day tour starts at £911 per person, excluding flights.
