Off-the-Beaten-Path Experience: Skadar Lake and Boka Kotorska Bay from Above
About this experience
During the journey, you will discover that the best lakes are not necessarily in Durmitor Park. You will explore the Balkan Amazon and the 'stone sea'. You will taste delicious local dishes in cafes where turtles roam freely and enjoy prosciutto made in the traditional way. The program also includes fishing and mountain villages with colorful stories from different regions. And rest assured - we won't miss a single beautiful panorama!
What to Expect
'I gaze into the blue lakes'
Natural wonders are beautiful in their non-static nature, and to see them in the best light, you need to know the viewing angles and the position of the sun. I have taken these nuances into account in the program. You will see the largest lake on the Balkan Peninsula and the Crnojević River from above, from the side, and from within during a 2-hour boat trip. As you sail across the lake, you will enter the most picturesque part of the river, which local boatmen call the Amazon.
🍩 ☕ I will suggest a coffee break in a cozy family cafe, next to which huge turtles often peacefully roam. You will be treated to traditional donuts called 'priganice' and other homemade delicacies.
Unusual mountain landscapes and traditional cuisine
Just when you think the impressions are overflowing... we will head to the mountains! Passing by the old royal capital Cetinje, you will appreciate the landscapes of Montenegro's famous 'stone sea'. We will make another stop in the village of Njeguši - where the famous Montenegrin prosciutto is still dried. We will have lunch here - with prosciutto, Njeguši cheese, veal, or lamb prepared in the traditional way.
🏞 The excursion will not end with a hearty lunch: ahead are panoramic views of Boka Kotorska Bay from an altitude of almost 1000 meters above sea level. I have never seen anyone remain indifferent to these views ;)
