If you’re heading to Ksamil and wondering how to make the most of your trip, here are 3 must-do activities you won’t want to miss. Each one is easy to book with GetYourGuide and guaranteed to give you unforgettable memories.

1. 🚤 Island Hopping & Boat Tours to the Ksamil Islands

Ksamil’s most iconic feature? The four tiny islands just off the coast that look like something straight out of a postcard. You can kayak, paddleboard, or take a small boat out to explore them.

But the easiest and most relaxing way to experience them? A boat tour. You’ll glide over crystal-clear water, stop to swim or snorkel in hidden spots, and soak up some serious Vitamin Sea (get it? Vitamin C🤪).

👉 Book your Ksamil boat tour.

2. 🏛 Visit Butrint National Park – A UNESCO World Heritage Site

Just 15 minutes from Ksamil lies Butrint, one of Albania’s most important archaeological sites. This ancient city dates back to the Greeks and Romans and is surrounded by greenery and lake views.

You’ll wander through amphitheatres, ancient city walls, and crumbling temples, it’s like stepping into a forgotten world.

3. 🌅 Sunset Dinner by the Sea

There’s no better way to end the day in Ksamil than with a seaside dinner as the sun dips behind the Ionian Sea.

Bar Restorant Luna, located right in front of the water, this cosy family-run place serves up incredible seafood, shrimp pasta, and pizza but it’s the sunset views that steal the show. The whole sky turns pink and gold as you sip wine and listen to the waves.

Tip: Get there early to grab one of the outdoor tables.

👉 If you’re more into the party scene, there is a really cool boat tour from Sarande (a city only 20 minutes away by taxi) for adults to have a couple of drinks, make friends and enjoy the beautiful sunset. Book a Saranda: Sunset trip & swim on VIP catamaran - adults only.
