It’s a small charming town on the lake’s shore, once an important marketplace and today the main starting point of boat excursions on the Skadar Lake and a home of probably the largest traditional festival in Montenegro dedicated to wine and bleak. Located on the confluence of two rivers, it is also where the antifascist battle in WW2 started.

Skadar Lake is the largest in the Balkans shared between Montenegro and Albania. It is the area of the national park of the same name famous for its diverse flora and fauna. It is especially important as a bird habitat with about 280 species noted down so far. Skadar Lake has been the inhabited area for millenniums encompassing some 50 islands with important cultural and historical monuments, monasteries and fortresses and old fishing villages of traditional architecture resting on its shores. Spending time near water and enjoying easy boat ride on a clam lake will be a perfect relaxation after your flight. Surrounded by water lilies, reed and birds you will soon feel harmony with nature.

Once we complete the boat ride, we will enjoy the views from the lake lookouts, pay a visit to Godinje village known for its unique architecture and wine and finally see a fortress dating back to the beginning of Ottoman occupation of this part of Montenegro.
