There are daily ship depar- tures that connect Saranda with this Greek island. Saranda’s name originates from the old Christian monastery of “the Forty Saints” (Saranda means “forty” in Greek). The ru- ins of the monastery lay in Qafa e Gjashtës, near the city entrance. KSAMILI Heading south, the coastline often changes its appearance. You can see four small islands (the Ksamili area), covered by Mediterranean vegetation, and surrounded by the wonderful marine fauna and flora. The salt lake, (a lagoon of tectonic origin) of Butrinti is on the other side.
