The coastline around the small town of Ksamil is a squiggle of interlocking coves, miniature islands, forested headlands and lagoons that sparkle in the late afternoon sun. And that’s before we even get into the outstanding nearby Roman ruins of Butrint. All this means that Ksamil has all the makings of a perfect Mediterranean beach village, but note – it’s no longer much of a secret and, unfortunately, nowadays almost every beach is occupied by a private beach club with a strict pay for access policy. Still mighty beautiful, just no longer quiet.
