SKADAR LAKE ESCAPE

There is no better way to explore Skadar Lake than by bike — cycling through this wide open landscape gives you incredible views toward Albania and a real sense of freedom that you simply don’t get from a car. The route is full of beautiful panoramic stops, quiet countryside roads, and small rural villages where time feels like it moves a little slower. Along the way, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to take photos, enjoy the scenery, and taste local delicacies made in the region.

This is a moderately challenging tour with a few longer climbs, so unless you’re a very confident rider, we recommend choosing an e-bike. It makes the ride more comfortable and lets you focus on the experience instead of the effort. For an even richer day, the cycling tour can be combined with a boat ride on the lake — a great option for birdwatching and exploring hidden corners of Skadar’s wetlands — or with a wine tasting in one of the authentic local wineries in the Crmnica region, famous for its tradition and unique local flavors.
