Ksamil sits at the southern tip of the Riviera opposite Corfu, with small islands a short swim offshore and some of the clearest water in the country. It has developed fast and July and August are crowded and built-up, so shoulder-season visits are markedly better. Butrint, the country's most important archaeological site, is fifteen minutes away.
