Pelister Great Lake

Pelister Big Lake – one day jeep excursions

According to the legend “Pelister Eyes” – the mountain lakes “Big” and “Small” on National Park Pelister – were formed from the tears of two sisters, who were in love with the same boy – Pelister. Their mother did not allow them to marry the boy and in anger sent them to the mountain, with a curse: to be close, but not to see each other. The daughters shed so many tears, from which two beautiful lakes were formed.

Located at an altitude of 2.218 meters (Big Lake) and 2.180 m (Small Lake ) the “Pelister Eyes” are a great location for the nature lovers.

The easiest and most reliable way to visit this location is with 4×4 vehicle. Our organization has experienced drivers with modern and air-conditioned vehicles that will enable you an unforgettable one-day experience.
