Budva is the jewel of the southern Adriatic and Montenegro. It is the oldest town in the eastern Adriatic. It was already mentioned back in the 5th century. Today it has 15.000 inhabitants. Because of the atmospheric old town and the nice beaches it is a popular holiday destination. As so many othe…

I arrived in Budva on Monday mornin around 8 and after ten hours in a packed bus with just two 10 minute stops during the whole trip and I felt like zombie. At the border the Serbian police checked the whole bus for at least half an hour and the policemen were quite scary looking. By the time I a…

Montenegro has two parts - Seaside and Inland (Mountains) part. Anyway, both are gorgeous, but this time, i visited Montenegrin monasteries and mountains. Cum take a look!

Kotor is located along one of Montenegro's most beautiful bays. It is a city of traders and famous sailors, with many stories to tell and the old Mediterranean port of Kotor which is surrounded by an impressive city wall built by Serbian House of Nemanjić, is very well preserved and protected…

My travels in Montenegro. Budva, Podgorica, Kotor, Becici,

On our way around Kotor Bay we passed Perast. This small town lies beneath the hill of St. Elijah and looks like a chunck of Venice has floated down the Adriatic and anchored itself onto the bay. Venice owned the city between 1420 and 1797 and the city´s 16 churches and 17 grand palazzos were most…

Montenegro has gained its independence in 2006 but nothing seems to be changed by this fact. life is very peaceful and people willing to help anytime. the main feature of this country is its beautiful nature, the Adriatic sea surrounded with fascinating mountins...that all is MONTENEGRO.

Before heading back to Kotor Bay we continued a short drive south of Budva and made a stop on the road above the island of Sveti Stefan. This is a picturesque island connected to the shore by a narrow causeway. From the 15th century this tiny island housed a simple fishing community. In the 1950´s…

We left the hotel at 9:30 for a drive along the Southern Montenegro coast to view Sveti Stefan Island from above.  Albania is only a short distance down the road from here.  Abandoned or war-ruined villas in various states of reconstruction dot the shoreline.   Returning north to B…

Sapphire beaches, mountains with rugged peaks, canyons and old towns, all this is called Montenegro and I wanted to see it. The country has close to 700.000 inhabitants where 1/3 lives in the capital Podgorica. It is the smallest of the Balkan states. I heard a funny statistic about Montenegro. It …

The old town sits between Mt Sv Ivan and a corner of Kotor Bay. The town wall was started in the 9th century and as you enter the old town through Vrata od Mura (sea gate constructed in 1555) you will find a labyrinth of marbled lanes. On hidden piazzas there are charming bars and restaurants. And…

City in Montenegro.. .

  Montenegro (Crna Gora en serbio) proclamó su independencia de Serbia el 3 de junio de 2006, dos semanas después de que el 53% de los votantes dieran el sí en un plebiscito muy deseado por ellos. Casi un par de meses después me disponía a “estrenar” país del que tantas maravillas h…

Travelling by car from Dubrovnic the journy gave us a spectaculary view of fjords and mountains.  We compared the landskape with the western parts of Norway.  The mainly hill-mountains country has a large area covered in forests and enourmous water riches (sea, rivers, lakes, mineral…

My Plan B to propose to my dearest girl was during sunrise by the bay, watching the city walls start to glow with warmth. We had planned to spend the day by taking a day tour around Montenegro, the world’s newest country. We woke up early to watch the sunrise, walked outside and it started po…
