LakesSpasAll stays

A summer holiday in Serbia doesn't have to mean the sea. Silver Lake (the 'Serbian sea') on the Danube and Lake Palić near Subotica offer sandy beaches, swimming and water sports, while Vlasina and Perućac lakes lure you with pristine nature and cool air.

Spa towns are perfect for a healthy summer break — Vrnjačka Banja and Sokobanja combine thermal springs, pools and wellness with a rich cultural and entertainment programme. For adventure, head to the rivers: rafting on the Drina and Tara, river rafts and Danube beaches.

Find accommodation by the water or in the heart of a spa town and send an inquiry straight to the host. The best summer deals go fast, so book early.
