Basic cruising option on Lake Skadar by boat is our one-hour tour from Virpazar to Lesendro. To help you envision what this tour entails, we've outlined some key information about it, as well as the course of the tour.
Our route takes us beneath the picturesque bridge, providing insight into the rich history of the region. You'll encounter the impressive silhouette of the 18th-century Lesendro Fortress, standing as a silent guardian over Lake Skadar. Did you know that Lesendro Fortress was the site of the legendary event known as "Čista Velika," when Montenegrins, using cunning and bravery, successfully attacked a much stronger Ottoman army, dealing a significant blow to their dominance in the Balkans? This episode is often referenced in Montenegrin folk songs and legends.
After cruising past Lesendro Fortress on Lake Skadar, we pass by fields of water chestnuts, and in late July and early August when the water chestnuts are in bloom, you'll have the opportunity to taste them.
