When it comes to going on holiday many of us travel to the same destinations, but one travel lovers insists that you visit this underrated holiday spot – it is cheap and filled with beauty.
Many of us hope to enjoy a holiday abroad each year, but the reality is that it can often be a very expensive affair. But, there are plenty of less popular spots to visit that will not break your bank.

She shared a video clip on TikTok showing the beauty of the city. She says there are “amazing beaches with crystal clear waters, stunning beach clubs and restaurants”.
Laila was impressed by how cheap her trip was after discovering cheap hotels for under 25 euros £20.85. She said: “We stayed in a nice room with a sea view balcony and breakfast for 19 euros per person at a three-star meta.”
She said the food was also so cheap and you can spent less than 10 euros on a meal. “I need to go,” commented one. “This is perfect,” agreed another.
In Ksamil you will find crystal-clear waters, a laid-back atmosphere, and plenty of beautiful beaches to explore on foot. The white beaches and crystal clear waters at Lori Beach look similar to brochure pictures of The Maldives.
On the other side of Ksamil Beach is Bora Bora Beach where you can enjoy lively beach bars and water sports. People often rent a kayak to visit the nearby uninhaited islands.
If you love history, a 15-minute drive away from Ksamil there is Butrint National Park – a UNESCO World Hertiage site that is filled with ancient ruins.
