Itinerary
We met our guide at Lake Port in Ksamil and climbed aboard his pride and joy, a traditional style mussel boat which took us across Lake Butrint. He explained in perfect English how the mussels are grown and harvested. The location is very beautiful as the lake is protected and birds and fish are plentiful. Indeed, the only human presence is local fisherman using handlines with mussel shacks dotting the shoreline. We took turns to clean the mussels and learned about removing the ‘beard’ from each shell. Shortly we arrived on the far shore and were greeted with a warm welcome from locals who had set a table in the shade. Wafting delicious smells were in the air. Wine and cold water was served and a fine feast of mussels was presented. A plate of grapes and more wine followed. Our only company, a dog and a cat who slept at a polite distance. There was adequate washing and toilet facilities. It was a perfect afternoon with the sun setting on our return, offering us a glorious sunset for dessert. We went with another couple and all agreed it was very good value for money and something very different and quite unique. Certainly not hackneyed tourism. I thoroughly recommend this tour, educational and gastronomic. You almost feel you are experiencing what the ancients enjoyed. You can’t put a price on pure, delicious simplicity.
