Ksamil's beach
The main attractions are the nearby Ksamil Islands, where fresh seafood restaurants are located and which can be easily reached by boat. The mainland beach is small but clean.
During communism, the area became well known for the production of olive oil, lemons, and tangerines. In 2010, national authorities demolished over 200 illegal structures that violated the town's master plan and the integrity of Butrint National Park. Some remains from the demolished buildings have yet to be removed by authorities.
