Skadar Lake has so much to offer, but we suggest to you routes which are, in our opinion, the most beautiful.

All routes begin in Virpazar. This small picturesque town was founded in 19th century and named by whirl (vir), where the locals came by boats to the market place where they were selling their homemade products. Virpazar has around 300 citizens and its located on the delta of rivers Crmnica and Orahovstica, has three bridges with a medieval fortress Besac above it.  

The Dabanovic family recently extended their fleet, so now they can welcome you with 3 boats - which is good when you are in a bigger group or family! 

We should also add that this family is dedicated to the lake's flora and fauna, especially birds, so  they are in the group of volunteers for birdwatching experience.
