British newspaper ‘Metro’ highlights Albania among three destinations worth exploring in October. The article points to milder temperatures, lower prices and fewer tourists during the autumn season. It highlights the Albanian Riviera, Berat, Tirana and the Albanian Alps. Metro also cites the British travel association ABTA, which has recorded growing interest in autumn travel since 2023. In 2025, 24% of travellers said they planned trips in September or October, compared with 17% two years earlier. Global hotel bookings for the autumn months also rose by 55%.
For Albania, the article highlights the quieter beaches of Ksamil and Saranda in October. Visitors can also explore Riviera villages without the summer crowds. Berat offers Ottoman-era architecture and UNESCO-listed heritage. Tirana provides a lively café culture and sites linked to the communist period. Meanwhile, Metro recommends the Albanian Alps for visitors seeking mountain landscapes and hiking trails.
October temperatures can reach around 21 degrees Celsius during the day and fall to 13 degrees Celsius at night. Metro also notes affordable travel options from London. Ryanair offers flights to Tirana for around £20 during October. The article cites accommodation options including King Hotel Ksamil at £46 per night and Doanesia Premium Hotel & Spa in Tirana at £66 per night.
