Lake Prespa & Small Prespa Lake

Part of the Ohrid-Prespa Transboundary Reserve, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve that includes Lake Ohrid, Lake Prespa is one of the most beautiful lakes in Albania.

The lake is essentially divided between the three Balkan nations of Greece, North Macedonia, and Albania due to its location on their respective borders. Prespa National Park, which protects the whole Albanian portion of Lake Prespa, is home to a diverse range of animals and plants, including no fewer than 1,100 species of vascular plants.

Small Prespa Lake, which is located in Albania and Greece, is Lake Prespa's tiny sibling. The largest colony of Dalmatian pelicans in the world is housed in this tiny lake, which is noteworthy for being one of the tallest lakes in the Balkans. These twin lakes are among the most breathtaking natural locations in Albania and are excellent for outdoor pursuits like fishing, wildlife viewing, hiking, and cycling.

Both Lake Prespa and Small Prespa Lake are extremely calm, in contrast to the well-known Lake Ohrid. There won't be any sizable tourist crowds here. Instead, it's the ideal location for a tranquil retreat in the great outdoors.
