Prespa Lakes Day Trip
Visit the peaceful border lakes, home to rare Dalmatian pelicans.
Overview & Important Information
The Prespa Lakes (Great and Small Prespa) form a peaceful natural park shared between Greece, Albania, and North Macedonia. This private day trip takes you to this remote wetland sanctuary, famous for its birdlife, traditional lakeside villages, and Byzantine rock hermits.
