The things a price table cannot tell you: how long the season runs, who else is buying, and what can go wrong.
| Lungomare, Vlorë | Plazh, Durrës | |
|---|---|---|
| What the premium buys | A €15m+ designed promenade, a marina, and a city that works in winter | Mass beach with the largest supply on the coast and the best-known name |
| Momentum | First line doubled in three years, from €1,700–1,800 in 2022 | Up to 21% year on year, from a much lower base |
| Hidden risk | Part of the price is the airport that has not opened | Sewage discharge onto the beach is the strip’s standing complaint |
Short-let investor: Plazh. Half the entry price for a comparable season is hard to argue with.
Buyer who will use it themselves: Lungomare. You are buying a designed promenade and a city, not a beach strip.
Value hunter: Neither first line. The second line of each costs far less for the same beach.
