Greater Prespa Lake

Greater Prespa is the tripoint lake — Albania, Greece and North Macedonia all touch its water — and the Albanian shore near Korçë still feels remote compared to the busier villages across the border. Regulars return each year and note the same thing with a hint of worry: the waterline has been receding, leaving wider pebble margins than a decade ago. That hasn't dulled the appeal; at 4.7 stars from 113 reviews, most visitors describe a place that resets their mood on arrival, better suited to slow walks and birdwatching than any packaged itinerary.
