Albania
Exploring Ksamil
We went on a mussel tour! Sounds very strange, but was such a cool experience. Let me tell you all about it.
Mussel Tour
We went on a Mussel Tour. Sounds a bit unusual, but it was one of the coolest and most authentic things we did in Albania. It was around €50 pp, but there's an entire meal included and it's so so so worth it. We went to the lake (it's connected to the sea, walking distance of Ksamil) and got on a boat. We were 7 people, so it wasn't crowded at all. We got an entire tour of the lake, with the mussel beds. They told us everything about their Queen (the mussel) and afterwards, they took us to a deserted beach. There they prepared a meal with the mussels we caught and cleaned on the boat. It was so delicious and the surroundings were so beautiful.
Digesting our meal at Augusto Beach
Afterwards we just wanted to chill and read a book, so we went back to our private beach and watched the sunset there. Afterwards we went for dinner at restaurant Olive, had seafood risotto (8/10) and at the Vamos cocktailbar I celebrated that I passed my last exam ever :-)
