Beyond the price

The things a price table cannot tell you: how long the season runs, who else is buying, and what can go wrong.

SarandëKsamil
Season lengthRoughly 4–5 months, with a working town underneath itShorter and sharper — the village empties out of season
Main buyerCentral European — Poland, Czechia, HungaryThe same, plus holiday buyers paying for the postcard
Standing riskForeign enquiries fell 50% in 2024 and 30% in 2025 while prices kept risingThe same demand signal, on a thinner and more seasonal market
Water supplyA known constraint on the whole Sarandë–Ksamil strip in peak seasonSame constraint, felt harder where the population multiplies in July

The verdict, by who you are

Short-let investor: Sarandë. A longer season and a town that works outside August beat a beach postcard with a four-month window.

Family buying a holiday home: Ksamil, if the beach is the point. You are buying the water, and you are paying for it.

Year-round resident: Sarandë, without hesitation. Ksamil in February is a closed village.
