The fourislets

The four small islets sit a few hundred metres off Ksamil's south beach. Shallow channels between them, sandy bottoms, water so clear it doesn't read as water. Anchor between the second and third islet, swim across to the chapel on the third, lunch at the wooden taverna on the second over grilled sea bass and tomato salad. From the islets the sheltered Laguna and Pema e thatë cove are a five-minute hop further in — a quiet alternative when the islets are busy.
