Ksamil is one of the most frequented coastal resorts by both domestic and foreign tourists. Ksamil Beach and Albania's Ionian Coast further north was included in the Guardian's 20 of the best bargain beach holidays for 2013.[5] The main attractions are the nearby Ksamil Islands. The Caribbean white sand beaches in Ksamil gave the town great tourist boost. Albanians from Kosovo and other Albanian-speaking areas visited Ksamil in recent years, but more and more international tourists are visiting the beach. This leads, for example, to new hotel facilities, but also to more expensive prices. Other activities are the Blue Eye in Muzinë, the Butrint National Park, Saranda and as well some other minor beaches that lie north to Ksamil.

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.

Demographics

In 1992, the village of Ksamil was inhabited by a mixed population of Muslim Albanians (1125), Orthodox Albanians (210) and Greeks (520).[4]

According to official estimates (2014) the population of the commune of Ksamil numbered 9,215,[3] of whom 4,207 are members of the Greek minority.[6]

Ksamil (albanisch auch Ksamili, griechisch Εξαμίλιο .mw-parser-output .Latn{font-family:"Akzidenz Grotesk","Arial","Avant Garde Gothic","Calibri","Futura","Geneva","Gill Sans","Helvetica","Lucida Grande","Lucida Sans Unicode","Lucida Grande","Stone Sans","Tahoma","Trebuchet","Univers","Verdana"}Examilio) ist ein Badeort ganz im Süden Albaniens am Ufer des Ionischen Meers, aber auch der Name von vier kleinen Inseln und der langen Halbinsel zwischen dem Butrintsee im Osten und dem Meer, auf der der Ort ungefähr 15 Kilometer südlich von Saranda liegt. Die bis Ksamil sehr schmale Halbinsel verbreitert sich südlich des Orts und formt eine attraktive Küste mit vielen Buchten mit Sandstrand und einigen kleinen Inseln. Von Ksamil, das an der engsten Stelle der Straße von Korfu liegt, sind es keine vier Kilometer zur griechischen Insel Korfu. Die Gemeinde, zu der auch das Dorf Manastir gehört, hat 2994 Einwohner (Volkszählung 2011).[1] Lokalbehörden geben aber eine vielfach höhere Zahl von 7716 Einwohnern an.[2]
