If you’ve had enough of fighting for a spot on the sand or struggling for swimming space in the sea, this study by Hungarian airline Wizz Air will point you in the direction of Europe’s least crowded beaches.

The company analyzed over 50 European countries and their top beaches . They then used a calculation that involved measuring the beach, dividing its area by the size of a beach towel and then dividing that by the average number of daily visitors to give an estimate of how much space each beach offers per person. “While most of us are familiar with Europe's iconic beach destinations like Ibiza, Tenerife, or the Algarve, there are countless coastal gems that often go unnoticed by travellers,” says András Rado, the carrier’s head of communications.

“From a secluded, pristine cove in Croatia to a hidden sandy stretch in Albania, there are plenty of lesser-known beach spots where you can unwind, away from the bustling crowds.” Albania Is Home To Europe’s Least Crowded Beach The study places the Beach of Durrës in the historic city of Durrës in Albania as the least overcrowded beach out of all those researched. Despite being one of the most popular coastal spots in Albania, it still feels laid back.
