Today we are going from the coastal region to the central part of Montenegro and we are beginning a series of stories about the natural beauties, thanks to which Montenegro has become one of the leading destinations for investment and tourism.The wild beauties of Montenegro are known to many and you do not need to go too far to find beautiful panoramic views and experience the wild nature and its wonders. A short ride from the seaside and you will arrive in one of five National parks of Montenegro, the Skadar Lake.
The lake is located in Zeta valley and is surrounded by mountains. Two-Thirds of Skadar Lake belongs to Montenegro. Skadar Lake is the largest lake on the Balkan Peninsula, with fresh water and one of the largest national parks in Montenegro.
It’s extremely famous for its diversity of flora and fauna. It is stated that 270 kinds of birds inhabit this Lake. Around 90% of birds are migratory and are of international importance. There are 50 species of fish living in the Lake. The most familiar are ukljeva and carp.
The world of plants of this park is very important and there are 30+ protected plants and trees in the Park.
In the region of Skadar Lake, there are 20 monasteries, churches, villages, fortresses and sacred monuments. This lake is the witness of Montenegrin history from the 11th century up to now. Around Lake itself, there are 18 important historic monuments.
Earliest written documents from this region are from the 11th century or period of creating the first Montenegrin dynasty. Turning of Roman Catholics into Orthodox Church many monasteries and churches, at the beginning of 1400 AD built around the lake. In 1478 Turks occupied Zabljak and the region of the lake and ruled over it until 1878, when Montenegro was liberated from Turkish rule. During the Turkish occupation, Montenegro was ruled by Cetinje Metropolitans and it survived this period. Some strongholds were used by Italians during WWII.

Dear CMM team, just to leave a small feedback on the superjob you've done ! It was not an easy period for us with a child. As we had to sell our home property and decided alternatively buy some nice house at Montenegrin coast. We were truly frightened at the start. My colleague, being your customer, gave a good recommendation, so, we called the office. All the part, covering seach and purchase in Montenegro, was quickly, safe and perfectly done. Good luck and further success and propsperity to the company! Special thanks to Alexander and Snezana for professional approach!

Always thought that buying property abroad isnervous and difficult task. CMM changed my mindset. I felt support and care in every step: from the first call arranged till receiving the Owner's list. I am also happy about how they make my apartment management. Now, whenever me or my family members come home to Montenegro, I am absolutely confident that my apartment is in the best condition!

CMM is supergood in diplomatic dealing with all sides. I found the apartment I wanted in Montenegro, though the previous owner was behaving awfully and didn't want to bargain. Your managers somehow managed to agree the acceptable price so that we could start with deal. Professional advice on every step helped me avoid numerous mistakes possible. You have all that a naughty customer needs! Also thanks for the wonderful natures shown and nice coffeeshops/dineries =) Now recommending CMM Group to those planning to move or long vacations in Montenegro. Great management and attitude!
