Why go
Butrint & the Ksamil Islands
UNESCO 1992, extended 1999. Greek theatre, Roman forum, baptistery mosaic, Byzantine basilica, Venetian fort — stacked. Two days from Tirana with Ksamil's islands next door.
Butrint was inscribed by UNESCO in 1992 and extended in 1999. One lagoon site holds a Greek theatre, a Roman forum, a late-antique baptistery with one of the finest mosaic floors in the Mediterranean, a Byzantine basilica and a Venetian fort — stacked in layers.
Ksamil's islands sit ten minutes away. Two days gives the site and the water room to breathe; rushing Butrint in a day from Tirana is possible but hard on the clock.

Questions
Before you reserve
- Do I have to hike?
- No. Every stop on this route is reached by vehicle. If you want to walk, the driver waits — but nothing requires it.
- Is my hotel included?
- No. Guests book Ksamil or Saranda lodging; the driver's overnight is in the price.
- How do I pay?
- Cash on the day is cheapest. Card online includes a 20% charge for the processor and currency conversion — that is not our margin. A retainer of 25% of the card price (minimum €30) holds the vehicle; the balance is cash on the day.
- How many people can come?
- Up to eight. One vehicle seats four; five to eight guests means both cars go out, and both cars are paid for. That is the only honest way to price a two-car fleet.
