Rest in Montenegro, or Montenegro, as this country is also called, is very diverse – from cozy coastal villages to small green towns and large tourist centers. The most famous resorts of Montenegro are Budva and Kotor. Budva, together with other less famous resorts (Sveti Stefan, Rafailovici, Becici, Petrovac na Moru), is located on the Budvanska Rivijera. And the popular Kotor, Herceg Novi and Tivat are on the Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotorska), which is famous for its very warm sea. But today we are not talking about resorts, but about how unique this country is and why you should book a tour to Montenegro already this summer.
Why should you go to Montenegro?
There are not many countries in the world that can match Montenegro in the density of tourist facilities per square meter. These are beautiful beaches, the cleanest sea, and a rich excursion program.
After a beach vacation
The best resorts in Montenegro are located on the coast of the cleanest and clearest Adriatic Sea. The water here is so transparent that you can see the bottom at a depth of 50 m! In addition to a lazy beach holiday, in Montenegro you can rent a boat, a yacht, a jet ski to swim along the coast. The beaches here are mainly pebbly, there are paid and free beaches. The vacation season in Montenegro lasts all year round, because, in addition to the wonderful sea, there are beautiful ski resorts here. But if we are talking about a beach holiday, it is best to come here from May to September.
For interesting excursions
Of course, you can come to Montenegro just to swim and sunbathe. But sightseeing tours to Montenegro will certainly give you many new experiences. They say that there is no other country in the world that is as small and at the same time rich in cultural and historical sights as Montenegro. Traces of different historical eras can be seen here in the monuments of art and architecture, while walking through the ancient streets of the cities.
How to diversify your vacation?
visit Lake Skadar – the largest freshwater lake in the Balkans and the only place in Europe where pelicans can be found;
visit the Ostrog monastery (XVII century), carved into the rocks at an altitude of 900 m above sea level;
walk through the ancient capital of Cetinje, where almost every building is an architectural monument or museum;
take an excursion to the Tara River Canyon – the 2nd largest in the world.
excursions to Dubrovnik (Croatia) are also offered from resort towns here – citizens of Ukraine do not need a visa for this trip.
For beautiful nature
Here, blue waves meet rocky shores, many flowers and greenery delight the eye, and high mountains are covered with dense forests. When the evening twilight descends on the mountain peaks, they look incredibly majestic and beautiful! Most likely, this is where the name of the country comes from. And there are also 4 stunning national parks, the luxurious nature of which will leave the most vivid and unforgettable impressions of your vacation in Montenegro.
For delicious cuisine
Crayfish, shellfish, fish, shrimp, squid, baked, grilled, stewed, fried – your vacation in Montenegro will certainly bring a lot of gastronomic pleasure! But local cuisine is not only rich in seafood. Meat (be sure to try the smoked pork prosciutto) and vegetables (potatoes with spinach and Swiss chard) are served here just as effectively. And for a snack, order a classic vegetable salad with olives and local cheese. Montenegro is also famous for its olive oil – a bottle of such oil with spicy herbs will be a useful present for your relatives.
With a warm welcome
In addition to the fact that the people here are friendly, you will definitely not have any difficulties in communication. Most locals speak English. The Montenegrin language is similar to Ukrainian, so if necessary, you can understand each other, even when communicating in your native languages.
