Exploring The BEAUTIFUL Beaches of Ksamil 🇦🇱 Albania Travel Vlog
My backpacking journey around Albania sadly comes to an end in the beautiful town of Ksamil. We explore some of the loveliest beaches and beach clubs that Albania has to offer.

ABOUT ME🙋🏻♀️
I'm Christianne, a solo traveller, vlogger and entrepeneur from Surrey, UK. I spend half my time exploring new places around the globe with my backpack, and the other half creating videos about my experiences, what I'm packing, solo travel advice, money budgeting tips and anything else in relation to my backpacking lifestyle.

FAQ's
How do you afford to travel? - I now earn a full time living through creating these KZread videos, affiliate links, selling digital products and my clothing line. I used to simply just work any temporary job I could find to save up to travel! I budget the money I earn meticulously to reach my savings goals using www.backpackingbananas.com/pr...
Is travelling solo safe? - I would argue the answer is almost always yes! As long as you use your common sense and you follow your own government's guidelines about travelling in that country. I have made several videos on backpacking safety on my channel.
Do you have plans to settle down? Yes, I'm currently saving to purchase my first property in the UK and I'd love to have children one day. I doubt I'll ever live a completely 'conventional' lifestyle by society's standards though, as I often have my own preferred way of doing things.

Sadly Ksamil is no longer the same place once was. You can see the beach umbrellas are so close to each other. It used to be a dream place. Sometimes i go back and look at pictures i took 12 years ago and compare with current situation and feel pity and anger at the same time how human being could go that far and destroy such a lovely place. Unfortunately it is not just Ksamil but most of the coastline.

It's the 2024 National Geographic travel destination #1. We've been there twice now and are leaving to live there in about 3 weeks.
The beaches in Ksamil look lovely! I agree that a sandy beach is nicer to swim at than a rocky beach, but a rocky beach is nicer to have a picnic at since you don't get sand everywhere haha. I'm always curious to see what people eat so I'd like to see more food from your trips 😁 Loved this Albania series but I'm excited for Greece! Albania is definitely on my list now, I need to make it a priority ☺
Thank you for showing us Albania.

Thank you for these videos of my Albania. I just came back and already miss it. I wish you would go back next year and do a tour of the sandy beaches of Albania, north of Vlora. All youtubers so far have only showed the pebble beaches of the south, which are very picturesque, but this has created the wrong impression that all Albanian beaches are pebble beaches. Which is not true. In fact only one third of the Albania's 470km coastline is pebbly the rest, two thirds are amazing sandy beaches. I would recommend: Spille, Divjake (where there also is a National Park, very nice for a hike and a paddle boat outing), Darzeze, Seman, Golem, Gjiri i Lalezit, Tale, Velipoje.

Agreed! Especially since she stays in places not normally shown in typical travel vlogs (at least that I've found) So the food is super interesting to me. Like in Thailand and other places when she goes to the less traveled destinations, but especially countries like Albania that are overall less traveled.
I love seeing the food and loved Albania
Every good -Beautiful Albania @thank you every match@👨💻🙏🏽🌷❤👋
Albania is such a nice place! I’ve enjoyed seeing all of the videos but Ksamil was my favorite because of the backflip. Jk. I see you have made way for a spin-off channel, Hitchhiking Bananas. I look forward to seeing that! Lol
YES! Definitely interested in food filming! Mark Weins has almost 9 million subs with his food vlogs, so the people definitely want to see the food! Thanks 💕
One of the many reasons why I like your vlogs so much is that you don’t talk as much about food compared to other travel vloggers hahah. But I would still watch you if you did! You’re vlogs are amazing and really make me excited to travel and explore new destinations, thank you :D
This places so beautiful
thank you for the very interesting and informative video, including the food! And you’re both gorgeous, which helps!
MORE FOOD PICS. Girl, we need to see that yummy content with the Baileys and coffee. ❤️🙌🏽
I am so happy you're enjoying. It looks really amazing :) As a big fun of you Christianne and your channel, i know you love hiking. Since you are so close to my country, I would also recommend you to visit North Macedonia as well. Can't say we have coast and beautiful sandy beaches as in Albania, but it has a great options for nature fans, passionate hackers, cuisine and wine culture 🥰🥰🥂

come to Kamena Vourla (central Greece)..It is quite a beautiful area with tavernas in front of the beach and many coffee shops. .Also in Kamena Vourla there are boats that take people to nearby islands called Likhadοnisia. .In general, it has many beaches around Kamena Vourla and combines sea and mountain....

Are you still talking about greater Albania? Like you're not ashamed. And Turkey must take Albania. How would that look to you? Do you consider yourself Turks or Albanians? As far as I remember, Gjergj Kastriot Skëndërbej fought for Christianity and Albania, he fought the Ottomans many times. Albanians renounced themselves for self-interested reasons and became Muslims. Do you learn stories or hear them from other people's ears? Today, when Albanians have migrated to other countries, most of them to England, after years you will say that England also belongs to you? I'm fine with the borders as they are. They are not dumb who created them like this. Look to build your country now and leave the old things behind. Also, look to you men to educate yourself in general because you have a wealth of knowledge.
You should have gone to some underwater adventures in Jale and near Ksamil where you can explore amazing old ships under water and caves that are under water its super experience.

Thank you for this series! Before this, I didn't know much about the Balkans or Albania. You really have shown us how lovely it is! Seeing all your swimming adventures though, I do have a question. How do you usually dry off or change? My skin gets irritated with wet clothing, or when being covered with salt for a longer period (especially the private area). I've been wondering if you just towel dry yourself and then let the air does the rest, or if you have another way of drying up. Thank you!
@BackpackingBananas

Yeh I literally just dry off naturally. But the beaches often have showers to get rid of the salt!
I was literally at every beach you guys were in June. “Pema E Thate” beach means Dry Tree Beach. By the way Ksamil is not the best for nightlife Saranda has a better night life, lots of bars and clubs etc Enjoy Corfu it’s amazing. Corfu town is nice for shops and walking around, but if you are looking for a proper night life Kavos is a place to be.
Nice video 🇦🇱❤️

Thank you guys for the video on our country it sure does help with the tourism as the British media is soo hateful and racist towards Albanian people.
Thanks
good editing
Hi, thanks for the video. Did they ask you to show a return ticket when you arrived to Albania? Thanks

Visit Lukova in saranda I was a week before really nice
I loved it all! I want to do everything. I love seeing your food too. It's interesting to see what is on offer in all of the different places. Would you say it is easy to get veggie/vegan food there?
