It is like a sapphire inlaid in the city. The prosperity of the city and the gentleness of the lake are intertwined, making it beautiful and picturesque. Second stop: Enjoy lunch at the gentle Skadar Lake. The area is often called "Shiroke". Fish lovers can try the local specialty Karp - dishes cooked in casserole. The two fish dishes recommended by the driver are tender and tasty. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
