Skadar lake gastronomic tour

An easy hours drive from the fashionable coastline lies a spectacular mountainous area full of untouched nature and secluded tiny communities with long traditions. During a pleasant reconnaissance drive with your private guide, the first of many stops on this full-day tour is Pavlova Strana viewpoint, followed shortly by Rijeka Crnojevića – a touristy village where we enjoy coffee in peace before tourists start to arrive. Driving further on narrow local roads, we descend to explore a couple of hidden local villages where we pay a visit to a local fisherman family just to say hello and take a brief look through the window of local life. Hopping later on a traditional wooden boat, we sail through narrow channels of surrounding rivers until we reach a tucked-away local eatery where we savour freshly caught fish from the lake. Following another brief boat ride, we stop to do some hiking exploration of the Medieval Žabljak Crnojevića castle, situated on the estuary of Morača river, a past seat of Montenegrin nobility. Later in the afternoon, the tour continues to Virpazar – an important historical place of trade between the coast and inland. The highlight of this off the beaten path tour awaits in a tucked-away hillside village of Godinje, where we meet the local winemaker who will lead us through their food & wine pairing event with his family.
