THINGS TO DO
The things worth doing in Lake Skadar, from the obvious landmarks to the ones locals actually rate.
Aerial view of the winding Rijeka Crnojevica on Lake Skadar
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.
