The National Park is 45 km. from the town of Florina.
The Great and Small Prespa lakes are located at the tri-border of Albania, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Greece. The area is protected by Greek, European and international conventions, and the Small Prespa Lake is protected by the Ramsar Convention as a unique wetland. In 1991 the company for the protection of the Prespa lakes was created with the help of WWF who supported the efforts of the locals to protect the natural wealth of the region. Prespa Lakes have joined the network NATURA 2000.
