CULTURAL HISTORY & TRANQUIL LAKES

Montenegro means” black mountain”, and this fascinating Balkan country has faced many different civilizations in its long difficult history. Each has left the most beautiful, elegant marks, and enigmatic ruins, ripe for exploration.

Take a road trip around Montenegro, and you will find a place where nature is stunningly beautiful and its people warm and welcoming.

From wandering the UNESCO World Heritage old towns of Kotor and Budva, to hiking in Lovcen and Durmitor National Park. Driving in Montenegro along panoramic routes, leads you to stunning vantage points and postcard-perfect landmarks.

Adventure is around every corner, on the serpentine back road from Kotor to Lovcen National Park. A drive around Boka Kotorska is unmissable, as are the sunset views from charming Perast, on a warm summers evening.

Dip your toes into one of the beautiful coastal beaches, or kayak among monasteries on tranquil Lake Skadar.

From Herceg Novi to Tara River, and Kotor to Ulcinj, you can choose rich cultural history or complete serenity. For such a small country, travel the scenic routes, and you will be richly rewarded with beauty and great memories.
