About Ksamil
Ksamil is famous for its little islands and clear turquoise water. The four rocky Ksamil islets, inside Butrint National Park, can be reached by boat or by swimming, and the beaches facing them are lined with sunbeds. It is very busy in July and August, when sunbeds fill early; come first thing in the morning or out of season, in June or September. Combine a morning on the beach with an afternoon at Butrint, a few kilometres south.
