Ksamil Islands, Island group in southern Albania.

Four rocky islands rise from the Ionian Sea, reaching 15 meters above sea level, covering a combined area of 7.1 hectares.

The islands, formerly known as Tetranis Islands, became part of Butrint National Park, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1992.

The islands represent Albanian maritime traditions with restaurants specializing in local Butrint mussels and Mediterranean seafood preparations.

Access to the islands requires boat transportation, with regular services departing from Ksamil's coast throughout the tourist season.

The four islands create natural barriers forming small bays with clear waters, providing habitats for numerous Mediterranean marine species.
