Boat tour Starčeva Gorica and Beška monasteriesMonastery tours

Relax and see the highlights of Skadar lake from the comfort of your own traditional, Montenegrin lake boat! 

Skadar Lake and its surroundings have been the center of the Montenegrin state for a long time. Before the Ottomans occupied the region, it belonged to the Kingdom of Zeta. In the past, there were about twenty medieval monasteries and churches on the shores and islands of the Lake. Orthodox believers also call this region ‘The Holy Mountain of Zeta’ (Zetska Sveta Gora), comparing Skadar Lake with Mount Athos in Greece.

The Skadar lake is also known for being the last remaining breeding ground of the endangered Dalmatian Pelican and Pygmy Cormorant. It’s also a key resting place for birds migrating from northern Europe to Africa and is Europe's largest bird reserve.
