First impressions of Albanian beaches (Ksamil, Sarande) + Blue Eye - ALBANIA TRAVEL VLOG
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
- Come to Albania for the cheapest European beach vacation in 2021!
On this vlog, we continue our Albanian road trip from Gjirokaster to Ksamil, Sarande.
We stopped at a gorgeous blue spring water called Albania's Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër) before arriving in Ksamil.
Ksamil is a beautiful beach town on the Southern tip of Albania, bordering Greece. You can even take a boat trip to Corfu, Greece from here! Because of this close proximity, the feel of this town is more Mediterranean including the beach, food, and people. Instead of the traditional Albanian food like fergese or tave kosi, you get grilled seafood on this side of the country.
Because Albania is one of the few countries open during the covid pandemic, this beach destination makes it one of the best places to travel to in 2021. Check out our reaction to the first beach we have ever visited in Europe!!

Stay tuned for more Albania travel vlog where we will show you some cool things to do in Albania. We can’t wait to try some more traditional Albanian food, sample its coffee at some of the coolest cafes and restaurants in Albania. So stay tuned for our Albania food vlog and Albania food tour. Please let us know if you have some reccommendations on things to do, places to visit, food to try, and more unique things about Abania! Check out more Albania reaction vlog coming soon as we visit other parts such as Tirana, Berat, Saranda, Ksamil, Gjirokaster, Himare, Dhermi, Gjipe, Vlore, Durres, Shkodër, and Krujë.

@JetLag Warriors 😇 i really like your videos and Specially my Most favorite ? When you saying 😉 THEY HAVE IT 👌👌👍🏻
You Have iT Bro 🤗🤗🤗
Wow, Albania just gets more and more beautiful everywhere you go. Thanks for sharing!
Loved the vlog. You guys are living the dream. Albania is beautiful.
D cafe by d spring water, so beautiful, as well as d drone shots. D water is crystal clear. This looks to me like d best roadtrip by u guys.
ah? Glad you like this roadtrip! Do you prefer beaches than mountains?
@@JetLagWarriors Both r alluring to me, idyllic beaches n tropical islands, wonderful mountains, esp d Swiss Alps n d valleys. 😀
I have never clicked so fast before.
👍👍👍😁Thanks
Albania is very beautiful!
Discovered you guys a few hours ago and I have to admit that you made me feel homesick.
Thank you for reminding me how beautiful and warm my country is, hope you enjoy your stay!
Amazing place, one of the most unknown countries for us became one of the top most countries to visit next. It is so gorgeous and you guys described it so well. The water here is so clear and the color is so beautiful. Hope you guys have fun there...!
This, surely, is the prettiest place you’ve visited so far, with accompanying serene ambience, with Pakistan an easy second, devoid of crowds.
Love the European beach vibes!
I promise im actually from Albania.Its a small country but its beautiful isint it??🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱
Efren cruiz ok i would thank you
@@andrew5243 nice take your time and watch all the channels in RUclips
Wow! Beautiful river view with the crystal clear water. Stay safe. 🥰
Thanks Sharon!
People, food, places ❤️Albania is my 2nd faverate country because of you guys. Bigggg Shukria to you.
oh thanks! Hope you get to visit one day
Thanks for this wonderful video.
Loving your videos and your beautiful smiles! Keep safe, healthy and happy.
This was our first European beach visit ever!!!🏖💙Definitely got a different vibe and feel than the beaches of South East Asia. Where is your favourite beach?
i would say long beach Perhentian island. Softer sand for the feet.
Shkozet Albania!
👍👍beautiful Albania!
D seafood meal looked so good n delicious.
By d way, what's d price like for meals, for instance, d seafood meal.
the lunch was $17! and dinner with fish $47. More expensive on this part of Albania. Maybe seafood is also more expensive
@@JetLagWarriors As long as d food is good, a little bit expensive, I guess, it's alright. 😀
You guys are having so many great memories. It’s beautiful there
The river i kinda amazing so clean and nice color
Wow, you guys are in paradise alright!!!! A spectacular beach with milky turquoise waters, satisfying sea food etc! An entire day of swimming! Ahh! So wonderful to see you having such a great time!!!
Gosh, the water of the blue eye is so clear and blue.. Wow wow wow!
The drone shot is absolutely amazing!
The creeping plants along the staircase to your room are so NICE!
9:22 the rainbow colour one is nice. 🤭
12:05 Good choice, Ivana. Shrimp is super tasty. Fresh ones are the best. My 1st choice would be crab, but it is tedious. 🤣
Last but not least : a nice vlog! kudos.
ah, almost forgot to mention one thing : that cup of coffee (at blue eye), is not in a mini cup (espresso shot style). I like! 🤣
oh the grape tree plant on our BnB was Ivana’s favourite!!!🍇
Blue eye is natural spring . Perfect mineral water for drinking
Such beautiful water..wish I was there!!
We are loving our Albania trip❤️🇦🇱 Please give us some recommendations on places to visit, interesting things to vlog, and food to try. Thank you!!😁✌️
Must visit dhermi village and the beach, and head to folie marine bar in jala Beach, amazing
And try rafting guys, definitely great experience
Dhermi beach, Gjipe beach, Jale beach, Saranda, Himara, Vlora etc
we are also going north!! So please give us recommendations...any off the beaten path places? Like Lekdush? Where not many people know about?
North has lovely beaches to, shengjin or velipoj, shkodra city is a must visit as iam from there😂and lezha is our king Skanderbeg cemetery, must see ,and albanian apls, theth is wow Valbona, and 1 place I haven't seen which is called albanian Thailand shala river u go there by a ferry or boat is around 2 hours and is so magical iam telling you, hope u enjoe guys and thank you for sharing this beautiful videos, god bless 😀😊
Enjoy albania🤗
Thanks Sarah!
Seeing that octopus makes us miss 🇬🇷
U must be craving for d Greek food.
Super nice blueish turquoise river and beach, seriously awesome 😍😍😍
The more I see Albania, the more I amazed and astonished of it’s vast beauty and serene landscape! Make me want to buy an apartment, US citizens have it easier to immigrate and establish permanent residency, than other uglier countries!
Wow guys this tour are getting more and more interesting , love the stopover by the turquoise river 👍🏻 it’s crystal clear amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I’m in awe with the whimsically path to the hotel 👏🏻 really beautiful overlooking the beach and the sunset 😱 whoaa what a scenery , hope you enjoyed and had a great time 🥰😘
Beautiful beaches…not quite tourist season yet…packed in summer…lots of really rustic beaches around there…
ah yes, the water was still a bit cold!😀
So crystal clear 😩😩
U should go to Butrint..ancient city custle amphitheatre
Looks like the perfect day! Enjoy your road trip. 🤗❤️
thanks Kat!
The food and holidays are cheap if you compare it with Greece ,Italy,Croatia considering that it does not look much different anymore to any other southern Europe holiday destination. Why should it be much cheaper in Ksamil then in Greece next door? The prices are for Europe absolutly ok......
Have fun!
Thanks!! Yeah we love the affordability aspect here👍
Guys i recommend you the boat trip from Saranda to Krorëza and Kakoma Beach..Its an amazing experience i have done it before and i will never forget it.
Udang celup tepung. Yummy! Gosh guys! I always look forward to your new vlogs. It's such a relief to see the beautiful beach and river since we in Malaysia are stuck in this neverending lockdown. More videos pls guys! Have fun and safe journey! ❤❤❤
Wow. The place is beautiful especially the beach. Food looks delicious 😋.
Amazing blue eye crystal clear beach ⛱️ with drone shots. The seafood looks savoury and tasty
Albania got it all!😀
@@JetLagWarriors Exactly
Seen rivers that colour before in Slovenia, one famous one is the Soča river, part of which was used in the film The chronicles of Narnia, Prince Caspian. The coulours really are amazing, just a little cold. Looks like some amazing views on the winding roads to the coast. Fantastic accomodation you have there. never thought I'd see Steve eating Octopus. I think whilst you are eating you also pay for the view. Salt levels in the oceans are very different in different places. More seafood. I think the seafood that you referred to as shrimp could be actually King Prawns. I think shrimp are much smaller. If you ever sea Baracuda on the menu anywhere I can recommend it.
yes, you are right!! We also pay for the view😍
I think for North Americans they're all 'shrimps'. They don't use the word 'prawn'. That's more for Brits and Australians.
@@gerardfernon3339 Ok thanks for clearing that up. Didn't know that.
Wow amazing! I feel like food is always better enjoyed with people you love. But eating with your loved ones, fresh seafood, on a pier off a beautiful beach in another country that you're exploring together? Priceless.
*sighh..
Never know that I gonna miss the sea until I watch your video..
Hope this pandemic over as soon as possible..
Thanks for the another great vlog guys
Hope you do more beach towns besides this one. Enjoyed this. Good work😇
Oh my i am so envy with the color of that river stream 😤😳😲😯😮
I know wish we had time to swim!!😂
Albania rocks 😍😍😍
Greetings from Philadelphia amazing video
I really enjoyed your video. ⭐️
Thanks for Sharing! 💕
Greetings from Albania. 🇦🇱
Nice trip. You guys should continue up to bosnia/croatia/slovenia/hungary. Its beautiful. I can guarantee you that.
so beautiful albania
Big like 👐🇦🇱🍤🥂🌞
Thank you!
The fuel is expensive! But the fish is beautifully grilled!
Wow! So niceee.....
Better than Perhentian!
The drone view is so fantastic.
Nice to see u guys in water again. It's been so long, I think, it was in Malaysia that u guys been to many beaches n rivers.
yes!! The coconut trees are replaced by grapevines here!
@@JetLagWarriors Grapevines, that sounds fabulous. 😀
Firstt🤩
Wohooo!🙌
You guuuuyyyyssss... it looks AMAZING. Am taking tips from your videos. Aaaaaah hope our visa comes through.
did you apply for a visa?
@@JetLagWarriors Yep. Should hear back sometime early this coming week. Fingers crossed!
You guysssss... our flight got cancelled 🙄 Next availability in early July!! Trying for that now. Hope they restart Fly Dubai during this period... ticket's turning out goshdarned expensive otherwise!
Steve I can see you now!! LOL. Hey I also cooked Minute Rice and you would put Catalina salad dressing or hot peppers from jar on top. I'm not sure I would try Octopus salad. Love you both!! Keep safe, healthy and happy.
Mrs. Greig, trust me, octopus salad is tasty... especially with citrusy dressings... *slurp*
@@weeeee8232 I need to become more adventurous with food like Steve and Ivana.
Yaa broaden your horizon on food choices 👍👍
@@dianegreig4627 my thought is : it is ok if you don't like a certain dish after you tried it. but, give it one try, at least. 😊
V Nice Video
😍😍
Nice one guys. Damn i've not seen the beach for almost 1year plus man
The last was with you both in Langkawi hahaha.
ooohh Langkawi!! What a good time we had
Wow!You guys are really enjoying your vacations👍🏻👏🏻cool no mask on 👍🏻regardless of indoor or outdoor- mask’s compulsory for us😥….cheers💪🏻
yes no mask👍😊
I strongly suggest you to visit the Castle of Lekursi in Saranda, it`s like a balcony above the city. There is an restaurant there and you can watch the sunset there, is just fantastic.
oh thanks for the recommendation!
Nice nice thumbnail. Nice vlog.
Udang goreng tepung !!! 🦐
Sotong goreng tepung !!! 🦑
NICE
Thanks Bruno
Wow!! What a peaceful n beautiful place… thanks for sharing guys.
I shd b grateful that the fuel cost in M’sia is very much cheaper @RM2.65/liter (USD0.60). But too bad we are in total lockdown again 😅😅
Woah, another amazing and cool vlog. Love the stunning turquoise spring water. The beach is spectacularly beautiful too. Seafood looks yummy. The stairway to the accomodation is beautiful with those colourful flower plants and creepers. Great that you guys are having a splendid time in Southern Albania.
yes from mountains to ocean!😀
@@JetLagWarriors 👍👍👏👏💞
The Ocean 😂 the ionian Ocean ❤️
excellent video, the water is so clear! BTW after a meal is tipping a must?
No it is not ...
Palau Perhentian It is not but okay lah
From Macaroni and Hot Dogs to Octopus Salad I’ll say you have expanded your food horizon Steve.
Ivana, it’s Sotong Celup Tepung in Malaysia...in Terengganu all these restaurants with deep fried breaded seafood are called ICT places.

I noticed that steve wearing the "Capal" cap made in Malaysia right? 7:28...
Yep! A gift from some of our Malaysian friends ❤️❤️❤️
Wow! Life is normal in Albania , no covid? Hmmm...
You guys left malaysia at the right time. Covid is raging like wildfire in Malaysia , lockdown big time
That wise man's saying is so familiar.. 😂😂
Welcome in Greek North Epirus beautiful Vorio ipiros
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
bestnya steve dan ivani.. udang celup tepung
The spring isnot 50 m...the end of it its not found yet..the diviers have reach till 80 m but havent found the end of it
North Albania 🏔⛰🧗♀️🥾🍀🍃
South Albania 🌊🏝⛱☀️🐚
I want to visit Greece, it’s beautiful there. Maybe you can go there next
Greece is too overused nothing mysterious to explore plus you need at least 80 dollars for a meal.
@@churchofsatanalbania1468 thanks, I didn’t realize how expensive it was. I was thinking how gorgeous it is ther
@@shirleyharold1698 Yes Greece is beautiful..But definately not worth the money.Albania looks similar to Greece and is way less expensive..Or Croatia a marvelous place as well.
Greece is nice too. It‘s more touristy and better for people that want a all-inclusive stay. Albania is better for travellers and explorers.
@@shaclo1512 Or we should better say Greece is better for wannabe spoiled instagram teens and Albania for adventurous explorers.
8:40 hmmmm interesting same word "butik" in bahasa for "boutique"
You guys are moving too fast, you should have taken a boat ride to Kroreza beach(just north of Saranda), possibly the best beach in Albania. But you have already left the area.
♥️♥️♥️♥️🇵🇰
Hi awana can u tell me where you from buy swimming costume.... such nice and beautiful
My dream
Would suggest to have some sort of gimbal for the camera … the recent videos move too fast and shaky brings about video-sickness 😵💫
2nd haha
I eat only shrimp's big small, the price is unbeatable.
8:49 they spelled butik the same way as malay language 😁
yes!!!
Udang celup tepung...
Don't ask for WILD COUGHT fish as that is very expensive, ask for FARMED. There is no way to know if it is really wild anyway.
If you want soft sand beaches you have to go to the Adriatic coast: Divjake (white sand), Spille (dark sand, very good for your health), Golem, Lalez (white sand), Shengjin, Velipoje.
ah good advice, thanks!
Hello pindi boy
It’s funny cos Saranda it’s a dry town and they let this drinkable water go to waste, I think
Go butrint
butik ... similar to malay spelling
👍🇵🇰
Thank You For 670
Ab Jaldi Sa 680 Karwa Do 😯
no problem with seafood now Steve..
Thank You For 670
Ab Jaldi Sa 680 Karwa Do 😋

Why views dropped on recent videos....
