Montenegro

¡ The pearl of the Mediterranean, unique in many ways, is situated in the south of the

• Adriatic. Nowhere else can you find, so much

natural wealth, beauty, mild beaches, clear lakes, fast rivers, and gorgeous mountains in such a compact area as in Montenegro. In the morning you can wake up along the beautiful Adriatic coast, have lunch on the banks of Skadar Lake, and enjoy an evening walk in the Montenegrin mountains. Montenegro cannot leave you indifferent. Montenegro is a country in the Balkans, on the Adriatic Sea. It borders Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina to the north, Serbia to the northeast, Kosovo to the east, and Albania to the south. To the west of Montenegro is the Adriatic Sea. Montenegro's tourism suffered greatly from Yugoslavia's tragic civil war in the 1990s. In recent years, along with the stabilized situation in the region, tourism in Montenegro has begun to recover, and Montenegro is being re- discovered by tourists from around the globe. In 2007, the country received peak level of tourism which almost reached pre-war

• volumes. As a result, many roads have been

renovated (reducing driving time) and many hotels have been constructed or renovated.

How to get there?

¡ By plane Podgorica Airport is Montenegro's main international airport. Dubrovnik airport in Croatia is a half hour drive from the Montenegro border and the coastal city of Herceg-Novi, and is served by many major airlines, so it might be a good

• ption for tourists coming by plane

By train There are one daytime and one overnight train (two in summer) from Belgrade. Trains go through Bijelo Polje, Kolašin, Podgorica and ends in Bar, Montenegro's main seaport. The railway through the Dinar ridge is considered as one of the most scenic railways in Europe. By bus There are no roads in Montenegro built to full motorway standard, as all roads are of single carriageway type. Almost all roads in Montenegro are curvy, mountanious roads, and speeds over 80km/h are not permitted. By ship There are regular ferry lines from Bar to Bari and Ancona in Italy. Lines operate almost daily throughout the year, and get more frequent during the summer.

What to do ın Montenegro?

¡ Montenegro may be small in terms of area, but it boasts stunning mountainous landscapes, dramatic coast lines, historic monuments and truly beautiful walled towns. The Montenegro coast is just as gorgeous as that of its better known neighbour, Croatia, and it is for good reason that its main tourist destinations can get crowded in summer. Nevertheless, if you can't visit at another time, don't let their popularity hold you back. Even the largest of cruise ship crowds will not stop you from enjoying this country's magnificent Riviera and Medieval coast towns, especially if you're willing to get up early and do your sightseeing ahead of the

The Hıstorıcal Kotor

Kotor is the most charming place I visited in Montenegro. Kotor is a medieval town with an old UNESCO protected Old Town surrounded by fortresses and a wall. As opposed to the neighboring city Budva, it’s historical, more intact and way less crowded by tourists. If you’re in the area, make sure to visit Perast, which is easily reached by local bus or taxi.

Moroca Monastery

Another beautiful monastery is Moraca. If you’re coming from Kotor, it’s on the way to Durmitor and well worth a visit. The monastery still has a few monks on site and is one of the better known medieval monuments of Montenegro. The main church is painted and a monk will interpret the paintings for you in the areas that tourists can visit. Entry guidelines are not as strict as Ostrog’s, but you should still be respectful and cover your shoulders.
