Ksamili, the pearl of Southern Albania

by JLBG - last update: Aug 29, 2007

Ksamili, view towards Corfu
This page should be under Ksamili but, though a town of about 5.000 inhabitants, it is not in VT location database and I had to put it under Kalive Gjoka, the nearest village, 3.5 km north and much smaller. Actually, I would not be surprised if Kalive Gjoka was a part of Ksamili as the city extends on several kilometers!. As soon as possible, I will transfer it under Ksamili.
Ksamili
Ksamili is 2.5 km north to Butrint, 14 km south to Saranda and 15 km east to Konispol.
Ksamili
The first photo shows the view on the sea with one of the small islands lying in the bay, that shows on the right. In the background, the Greek island of Corfu with Mount Pantokrator (906 m). It is very close to Konispol : Kassiopi is only 11 km away and Corfu city 17.5 km.

 I've explored your updates since August 2007. Very nice off the beaten path page! Never knew about such a place. Really, landscapes are magnificent there. Thanks for sharing!

 About the building - when I was there I was told that people would go abroad to work, come back and build a bit of the house, then go abroad again to get more money to do the next stage. That was why there were so many unfinished houses.
