As you leave the river canal, a beautiful sight of the distant Accursed Mountains - The Albanian Alps will greet you.

The most relaxing trip EVER

5.00We took the 3hr trip to Kom monastery. It was the most peaceful trip I've ever been on, it was heavenly. Our guide pointed out various things on route, had warm donuts for us as we boarded (hubby loved that!) and looked after us well. We had plenty of time to swim in the lake on the return leg, the lake was surprisingly very warm. We had a great trip and would definitely recommend
A nice trip (that costs 5 euro more what they say)

5.00The tour was really good, the guide prepared and warmy person. He offered us water, wine, juice and delicateness. We had a great swim, visited a church and the lake in 3 hours. The only thing is that it is not written that you need to pay 5 euro more when you go there. This is not really transparent but the trip is absolutely worthy.
Gorgeous Lily pad lake

5.00We had an absolutely fantastic time. The boat tour was amazing, the lake is so beautiful. They give you a leaflet that explains everything and provide you with donuts from Montenegro and local wine (lots) which was delicious and you could just help yourself! It is one of the best £13 we’ve ever spent. Plus Braki (our wonderful tour guide - not sure if that’s how you spell it) was the most wonderful person. He found us waiting for the bus and gave us a lift to the train station as the bus stop seemed non-existent. Him and his brother were such lovely people and really engaging. Once again, I throughly recommend this trip!! Braki, if you’re reading this, thank you so much, you are amazing!
