Ksamil is known for its small offshore islands, pale beaches and clear Ionian water. It suits travellers looking for beach time with easy excursions to Butrint and Sarandë. In peak summer it gets busy, and popular beach clubs fill early.
Why visit
- Take time to explore on foot and discover the place at an unhurried pace.
- Look for local restaurants and small independent businesses, not only the most visible tourist spots.
- In peak season, book accommodation and popular activities well in advance.
