  • Skadar’s Legends and Sunken Secrets

This 4-hour tour follows a similar route to the 90-minute one, but after passing through the swampy areas of the lake, the boat continues behind the islands, where the Kom Monastery can be seen from afar.

Founded around 1427 by Đurađ and Aleksa Crnojević, the monastery holds great historical significance: it marked the beginning of the monastic life of Petar II Petrović Njegoš, who was later ordained as archimandrite there.

Continuing onward, the tour reaches Karuč. About a kilometer from the village, at the bottom of Lake Skadar, lies the steamboat “Skenderbeg,” which sank in 1942. At the end of summer, when the water level is low, the silhouette of the ship can be seen.

Overlooking Karuč is another historical site – the tower of Petar I Petrović Njegoš, who loved to spend time in this area during his lifetime.
