Lake Skadar holds a record among lakes for the number of superlatives attached to it. It is not only the largest lake in the Balkans, but one of the few remaining fresh-water marshes, the last resort of pelicans and the biggest bird sanctuary in Europe. Numerous monasteries, churches and fortresses, from the past of Montenegro, look as if they stopped time on the islands where they were  built. They bring back memories of those that used to live and rule this area.
The Islands of  Lake Skadar  are  islands of monasteries and birds, a harmonious combination of history and nature. Enjoy seeing the panorama of the lake's  rocky shores and marsh plants or go swimming in the warm lake waters. Bird watchers can fully enjoy their hobby. Lake Skadar is the habitat for 270 bird species, many of them are endangered or their numbers are significantly reduced.
