If you’ve always dreamed of having your own little place by the sea, southern Albania might just be the spot where that dream finally feels possible. Whether you’re just getting started or ready to go all-in on something special, there’s truly something for everyone—whether it’s a cozy apartment or a villa with a view.
Let’s break it down in real terms: what can you actually buy with €80,000 to €500,000 in places like Saranda, Ksamil, and Borsh?

What You Can Buy with Around €80,000
Believe it or not, €80K can already get you a modern, comfortable place near the beach.
With around €80,000, here’s what you can usually expect:
• A studio or 1-bedroom apartment in a fresh, modern building
• A great location—often just a short walk from the beach or promenade
• Clean, simple design with balconies, elevators, and good natural light
• A solid choice if you’re looking for a holiday home or even a rental investment
These kinds of apartments are great if you want something low-maintenance, comfortable, and close to everything—especially the sea. It’s the kind of place you can enjoy yourself or easily rent out when you’re not around.

With €150,000 to €250,000, You Have More Room to Breathe
Now we’re talking larger, more stylish homes—often with amazing views.
This budget opens doors to:
• 2-bedroom apartments with sea views or large balconies
• Fully furnished homes ready for you to move in or rent out
• Properties in newer buildings, close to the best parts of town
• Great options in places like Butrinti Street (Saranda) or central Ksamil
These homes are ideal for families, couples looking to relocate, or anyone who wants more space without jumping to villa prices.
