The Mussel tour is a one-of-a-kind local adventure where you get to acquaint yourself with our regal blue mussel of Butrint Lake. The excursion kicks off on a traditional watercraft, with our first halt at mussel farms. Here, the process of mussel farming is detailed, with an opportunity to collect fresh mussels directly from the source. Next, we pause at a restaurant, but not before attendees participate in the mussel separation process. Everyone rolls up their sleeves to isolate the Queens. A blend of labor, sailing, and 15 minutes of optional meditation forms the unique experience for each passenger. Following this, we navigate to another portion of the Butrint National Park, where a quaint local eatery is located. Here, we cook two varieties of mussel delicacies, seasoned with olive oil, lemon, and parsley. The meal is rounded off with local white wine, fresh veggies, homemade bread, and water. After savoring the flavors of our region and sharing engaging tales, we conclude with a relaxing sail back, all the while witnessing the sunset.
