The things worth doing in Lake Skadar, from the obvious landmarks to the ones locals actually rate.
Traditional wooden boat tour
The icon: a low wooden boat through water-lily channels to island monasteries and the Grmozur prison rock.
Besac Fortress, Virpazar
A small Ottoman fort on the hill above the village, ten minutes up, with the causeway and marshes laid out below.
Kom Monastery
A 1415 monastery on a peninsula reachable only by boat, with faded frescoes and almost nobody else there.
Godinje wine village
A stone village of interlinked houses and 400-year-old cellars on the western shore, still working the Crmnica vines.
Zabljak Crnojevica
The ruined 15th-century capital fortress on a mound in the marshes, reached by a rough track. Almost nobody goes.
