Just a couple of hours from Tirana lies a stretch of coastline that rivals the beaches of Greece and Italy, at a fraction of the cost.
One of the greatest surprises for patients travelling to Albania is discovering the Albanian Riviera. Running along the Ionian Sea in the south of the country, this stretch of coast features crystal-clear turquoise water, dramatic mountains dropping to the shore, and beaches that are still wonderfully uncrowded compared to their Mediterranean neighbours.
Towns like Saranda, Ksamil, and Dhermi have become increasingly popular with European travellers. Ksamil is famous for its small islands just offshore, surrounded by water so clear it looks almost tropical. Saranda has a beautiful harbour promenade and is close to the ancient ruins of Butrint, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
For patients whose treatment and recovery allows it, extending a trip to include a few days on the coast can transform a medical journey into a genuine holiday. Many patients choose to spend recovery time by the sea, something that would be simply unthinkable to combine with UK-priced treatment.
Always check with your surgeon and with Marcin before planning coastal travel. Some procedures require you to stay close to the clinic during initial recovery. But for many patients, the Riviera is a wonderful reward at the end of a successful treatment journey.
