Μεγάλη Πρέσπα, Shared lake at North Macedonia, Albania, and Greece borders
Lake Prespa extends across 259 square kilometers at an elevation of 853 meters, making it the highest tectonic lake in the Balkans.
The region of Lake Prespa contains remains from the Hellenistic period, with archaeological sites scattered along its shores dating back several millennia.
Local communities maintain traditional fishing practices and agricultural methods that have sustained populations around Lake Prespa for generations.
Visitors can explore numerous hiking trails around the lake, access birdwatching sites, and take boat trips to Golem Grad island.
