Dating back to the 14th century, this is the best-preserved Serbian monastery that represents an exceptional synthesis of Byzantine and Western medieval styles.

Located near the ancient town of Peć in the southern region of Kosovo, monastery Dečani was built in 1327AD by Serbian King Stefan Uroš III [1285-1331]. While the imposing, domed stone exterior is impressive, the interior is just breathtaking. Interior walls of the Monastery, from floor to its highest parts of the domed ceiling, are covered by exquisite and colorful frescoes and iconography, depicting biblical scenes, saints, and canonized members of the then ruling Serbian royal dynasty. Current Abbott, Father Sava, our gracious host and guide, informed us that the several thousand scenes and individual figures were painted by numerous iconographers and only completed in 1348. Later, the height of the monastery’s dome, especially when viewed from the central interior, earned it the adjective “Visoki” [high] – Visoki Dečani. Over the years, Visoki Dečani also collected an exceptionally valuable treasury of icons, ornamented liturgical artifacts, manuscripts, and furniture decorated with wood inlays. While Visoki Dečani is nearly seven centuries old, the monks’ quarters ["konaks"] and other auxiliary buildings that surround it, date to various periods – some are quite modern and comfortable for current visitors. Visitors are welcomed warmly and we felt even more welcome as some of the monks, including Abbott Father Sava, speak very passable English. For this visitor, it was exciting, stimulating, and moving to see and enjoy this place of living history .

A Swiss friend admitted that it was just as stunning as the mountains in Switzerland, which is a big admission. Great for trekking and seeing amazing views across the mointain peaks of the 'Cursed Mountains' as they are called in Albanian (Bjeshkët e Nemuna). Very friendly locals and great prices.

4. Via Ferrata Ari

I completed the Ari course on July 19th, and it was an incredible experience. I'd been in touch with the company several weeks in advance, and they were keen to pair me (solo traveller) with another group. Responses from them always came rapidly and were very helpful, though even by the time I arrived in Peja nobody else had signed up to do the course. As such, they wanted to help out and were able to make arrangements with a younger guide, and the experience was one of the highlights of my 10-day Kosovo trip. I felt secure at all times, and my guide was friendly, professional and consistently safe. We chatted lots the entire route, and she was regularly checking that I was okay and volunteering her assistance in taking photos for me. The climb itself is pretty accessible, with a few areas in which you need to scramble a little. The views are tremendous throughout. Definitely a recommended activity if you're in the area.

Reviewed By AJMids - Redditch, United Kingdom
We walked through the market and simply turned up at the museum, the guide introduced himself as we walked up to the door and just started a tour! I think he will just show people around as/when they turn up. Anyway it was very interesting to be shown around and have an explanation of life as it was. The enthusiasm was much appreciated and the cost is free if you wish but donations are appreciated.
