Lake Shkodra

Lake Shkodra is a large lake shared by Albania and Montenegro, right beside the city of Shkodër, and these articles cover its villages, birds and views. On the Albanian side, a short drive from the city, the shore road leads to small fishing villages and quiet spots for swimming and eating fish. Our guides visit Shiroka and Zogaj, list activities and viewpoints around Lake Shkoder, and include its winter waterbirds in a guide to birdwatching in Albania. Others look at Shkodër itself, its culture and the outdoor adventures that start from the city.
