What to expect

Your journey begins from Saranda early in the morning, heading south along the Ionian coast to Butrint National Park, one of the most fascinating archaeological sites in the Mediterranean. Surrounded by lush nature, Butrint showcases the remains of Greek, Roman, and Byzantine civilisations, with highlights such as the ancient theatre dedicated to Asclepius, the Roman baptistery with its magnificent mosaics, and the Byzantine Basilica. Walking through olive trees and old stone paths, you’ll feel the blend of history and nature that makes this UNESCO World Heritage Site truly unique.

After exploring Butrint, the tour continues to Ksamil, a small coastal paradise known for its white sand beaches and turquoise waters. Here you can relax by the sea or swim to the nearby uninhabited islands, covered in Mediterranean vegetation and surrounded by shallow, crystal-clear water. Ksamil offers one of the most breathtaking landscapes in southern Albania, where cliffs, pines, and beaches meet in perfect harmony.

This experience reveals the true charm of southern Albania, a region where ancient history meets pristine nature. Often compared to Italy’s Amalfi Coast, this stretch of coastline remains untouched and authentic, inviting travellers to discover a hidden corner of the Mediterranean that blends culture, beauty, and tranquillity.
