64-Year-Old Continues to Develop Tourism in Montenegro
64-Year-Old Continues to Develop Tourism in Montenegro
The goal of our existence would not be fulfilled if we did not include all the Balkans who invest their efforts to attract tourists from all over the world. The people who create tourism through their way of living are, to us, heroes who will be remembered for their mark in their own country.
Today we move to Montenegro, a country that is also underexplored by tourists. Rich in plant and animal life, quality food, tradition, and many undiscovered wild beaches.
One of our heroes living in the Montenegrin land is Rasho. A man who, at the age of 64, is a true promoter of Lake Skadar. A man who lives to build tourism, organize boat tours, and offer the healthiest local food to his guests.
Rasho Vukašević was born in Virpazar, a municipality of Bar. Even as a child, he helped his father, who at that time was involved in tourism at Lake Skadar. Rasho says that he inherited the craft from his father, who is now 97 years old and still gives him advice from his personal experience.

Today, Rasho has built an underground tavern and a wine cellar, a kitchen, and three apartments for accommodation with a view of the island of Grmožur.
He has also constructed six open terraces by the lake, where fish specialties are served, and visitors can taste organic beer grown in the surrounding villages.

This place has been featured in two films and several music videos. It has become recognizable for its local and healthy food, local wine, untouched nature, and wilderness.
The host says that all those who had the chance to visit have returned and hopes that this will continue, both with new guests and with those who regularly visit. With a smile, he adds that they have overcome the coronavirus and received the vaccine.
Lake Skadar is a beautiful combination of flora, fauna, architecture, gastronomy, and tradition. It offers a great opportunity for all tourists who want to experience water sports, hunting and fishing, photo safaris, tours with visits to monasteries, islands, and fishing villages.

The Montenegrin part of the lake and its coastline were declared a National Park in 1983. It is one of the largest bird reserves in Europe, with around 270 species, including the last remaining pelicans in Europe.
