The breathtaking spot has everything a traveler could desire for a holiday \u2013 excellent weather, stunning turquoise waters, and even ancient Roman ruins.<\/p>\n

With classic holiday spots in Europe rammed this summer, more and more people are looking for less frequently visited alternatives to travel to instead.<\/p>\n

Butrint, located in Vlora County, Albania, is a national park and archaeological site offering everything tourists could desire for a holiday \u2013 excellent weather, stunning turquoise waters, and even ancient Roman ruins.<\/p>\n

It has been likened to the \u201cMaldives\u201d in reviews, thanks to its picturesque sea, white sandy beaches, and warm summer climate.<\/p>\n

Visitors to Butrint can enjoy nature walks, historical sites, and the quintessential sun, sand, and sea experience.<\/p>\n

Butrint National Park, a\u00a0UNESCO World Heritage site, sprawls across 9,424 hectares of diverse terrain, including hills, lakes, wetlands, salt marshes, and more.<\/p>\n

The park encompasses the ancient town of Butrint, inhabited since prehistoric times and later developed as a Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Venetian settlement.<\/p>\n

Its historical richness is evident in the well-preserved ruins spanning from the 4th<\/sup> to the 19th<\/sup> century, including a theater, churches, villas, forums, gates, towers, and basilicas.<\/p>\n

Entry to Butrint National Park is affordable, costing less than \u00a35 per person, making it an excellent day trip option.<\/p>\n

Visitors can explore the natural beauty, admire the ruins, visit the castle, and even take a rope ferry to a smaller Venetian castle across the Vivari channel, offering glimpses of ancient Roman and Ottoman structures.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, visitors can stay in Saranda, a resort town a 30-minute drive away, known for its beautiful bay, beaches, promenade, and 16th<\/sup>-century castle.<\/p>\n

Saranda provides various accommodation choices, all at remarkably affordable prices compared to popular tourist destinations.<\/p>\n

In addition to its affordability, accessibility is another advantage of visiting Saranda. Travelers from the UK can fly to Tirana or Corfu at budget-friendly rates and easily reach Saranda via bus or ferry, respectively.<\/p>\n
