Visit and Explore the Venice of Montenegro

Only thirty kilometers away from the capital of Montenegro is Lake Skadar, the largest freshwater area in Southeast Europe, the home of a curlew bird that decided to build its nest right there.

Lake Skadar is the magical Venice of Montenegro. It is the largest freshwater lake in the Balkans. It is located on the very border between Montenegro and Albania in the Zeta-Skadar basin, and has an area of about 40,000 hectares. For the most part, about 70% of its surface belongs to Montenegro, and that part was declared a national park in 1986.

The lake has an average depth of 6 meters, while the largest measured depth is around 60 meters. Its coast is extremely colorful and rugged, there are many peninsulas and bays. Its emerald green color is particularly attractive, and the lake is extremely convenient for various activities, from cruising to swimming or fishing, making it a popular tourist destination in the region.

Lake Skadar is rich in cultural and historical monuments, the main feature of the national park is an exceptionally preserved ecosystem, and its trademark is the curly pelican, a bird that lives exclusively on its shores. Among the most famous cities and settlements, Virpazar should be singled out, a small and picturesque fishing village that tourists like to visit.

The area of Lake Skadar is incredibly suitable for enjoying a vacation without noise and crowds. Bearing in mind that the search for places where nature is perfectly preserved in a completely natural and original form, it is completely clear why Lake Skadar is increasingly popular with tourists. The warm water of the lake is ideal for swimming, while rest and sunbathing are possible on one of the numerous beaches along the lake.
