Itinerary
We met our guide at Lake Port in Ksamil and boarded his pride and joy, a traditional-style mussel boat. As we crossed Lake Butrint, he explained in perfect English how the mussels are grown and harvested. The location is stunning, with a protected lake teeming with birds and fish. The only human presence is local fishermen using handlines, with mussel shacks dotting the shoreline.
We took turns cleaning the mussels and learned about removing the ‘beard’ from each shell. Upon reaching the far shore, we were warmly welcomed by locals who had set a shaded table. Delicious smells wafted through the air as we were served wine and cold water, followed by a fine feast of mussels. A plate of grapes and more wine followed. Our only company was a dog and a cat who slept at a polite distance.
With adequate washing and toilet facilities available, it was a perfect afternoon. As the sun set on our return, we enjoyed a glorious sunset for dessert. We went with another couple, and all agreed it was excellent value for money and a unique, authentic experience. Certainly not hackneyed tourism, I thoroughly recommend this educational and gastronomic tour. You almost feel you are experiencing what the ancients enjoyed. You can’t put a price on pure, delicious simplicity.
