The story

Kayak Fest Prespa in Lake Prespa

A multi-day spring kayaking festival at Zaroshkë beach and Pustec village on Lake Prespa, combining paddling routes to Maligrad Island with camping, children's lessons, traditional food and music, opening the region's tourist season each year. Its remote southeastern setting gives visitors access to one of Albania's least commercially developed lake regions.

Kayak Fest transforms the calm waters of Lake Prespa into a multi-day celebration of sport, nature and culture, opening the region's tourist season each spring across Zaroshkë beach and the nearby village of Pustec in Albania's remote southeastern corner.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Kayak Fest's genuinely hands-on format, with participants paddling directly to the historic hermitage-church islet of Maligrad rather than simply observing scenic views from shore, gives visitors an active, immersive connection to one of Albania's least-visited and most ecologically significant lake regions, increasingly paired with the wider Green and Blue Prespa Festival's hiking and birdwatching programming

02

The mystery stays covered

Its expansion alongside the Green and Blue Prespa Festival has broadened what began as a single-activity kayaking event into a genuinely multi-disciplinary nature and culture gathering spanning hiking, birdwatching and paddling within the same protected national park landscape
