Herceg Novi
One of the greenest and beautiful resorts The Adriatic can be called the “green lungs” of the entire coast, and residents call it the “Garden of Montenegro”. The city is always beautiful, but it is especially beautiful when citrus fruits and ornamental trees are in bloom. Tourists enjoy the ozonized air, crystal clear sea, and peaceful atmosphere here. Although there are no sandy beaches here (only pebble and rocky ones), this does not spoil sea holiday. The amazing underwater world attracts many divers, and “skiers” frolic on the waves. An integral part of your stay in Herceg Novi is excursions to interesting sites.
The city, in which hoary antiquity and lively modernity are closely intertwined, gives a lot of positive emotions and unforgettable impressions. Everyone's heart swells during a tour of the Old Town. One cannot help but admire its central place - Bellavista Square, surrounded by authentic houses and picturesque palm trees, among which rises the Cathedral of the Archangel Michael. The ancient towers of the fortress wall (Bloody and Clock) remind us of the times of valiant knights. A popular walking place for tourists is a long embankment, unusually picturesque and colorful, with mysterious stone tunnels (a legacy from the former railway road).
Ulcinj
The southernmost and warmest city, bordering Albania, differs from other cities in its special flavor, reflecting a mixture of different styles and cultures. Here is the longest of European sandy beaches, the amazing Boyana River flows with banks covered with lush Mediterranean vegetation. Olive and orange groves, medieval buildings, modern high-rise buildings make the appearance of Ulcinj very picturesque.
The high tourist season at the resort is from April to November. Of course, in April the water is still quite cool, but the air warms up to 24-25°, which allows you to spend time on the beach. September is the time for ripening fruits and berries, lower prices in hotels, increasingly comfortable weather - a real velvet season. The summer months are characterized by hot sun, warm water, crowded beaches, increased prices for housing and other services. In October-November there is an abundance of ripe citrus fruits; during the day the sun warms you, you can sunbathe and take excursions.
Kotor
Located on the shore of the Bay of Kotor unique city, retaining its Venetian authenticity for 4 centuries, when it played the role of a major commercial and sea port. The history of Kotor remembers Roman legionnaires, Byzantine merchants, Greek, Bulgarian and Serbian rulers. Like the Phoenix, the burnt city rose from the ashes and owes its current appearance to the Venetians, who did a lot to establish and strengthen Kotor.
The undoubted main natural attraction of Kotor is the Bay of Kotor, which reliably protects the city from the winds (and in the past from pirates). A beautiful embankment, a port where snow-white cruise ships call, encircle the shores like a picturesque necklace. The old town is surrounded by an ancient fortress wall (length - 4.5 km, thickness - 2-16 m), upon climbing which you can see the whole of Kotor in all its glory. 3 gates cut into the wall lead to historical Center, where the Armory Square, the Clock Tower, the Pillory, the Arsenal, several Orthodox churches and Catholic cathedrals are located. The Old Town is an oasis of medieval architectural and religious monuments preserved in their original form.
Becici
A resort pearl in a necklace of coastal cities, Becici is famous throughout Europe for its wonderful sand and pebble beach, gently sloping descent into the water, and excellent tourist infrastructure. The city is connected to neighboring Budva underground tunnel, along which you can literally get to another resort in just a few minutes if you wish. In Becici there are 2 resort villages, unusually picturesque and colorful, with preserved architecture of the Venetian era, snow-white houses under tiled roofs, entwined with brightly blooming oleanders and bougainvilleas.
It’s worth coming here with children, as the calm sea, shallow coastal waters, and excellent beach amenities create ideal conditions for children’s recreation. Rental points offer various equipment for water sports, catamarans, and scooters. The local water park, distinguished by its original design, is equipped with many dizzying attractions for tourists of all ages. Cozy restaurants and cafes serve delicious dishes from fresh seafood. Unforgettable walks along the wonderful shady alleys and attractions of the resort.
Perast
Opposite the narrow Verige Strait (chain) is the small ancient Perast - a city of sailors and shipbuilders. It is the latter that explains the rapid prosperity of the city in the 17th and 18th centuries, when its fleet numbered more than a hundred ships. Active construction began, pompous palaces, luxurious cathedrals and magnificent monasteries were erected. Decoration of the city - Bell tower of the Church of St. Nikola, built in the 17th century. - a clear confirmation of the flourishing of architecture. There are no infrastructure beaches in the city, so everyone swims at the pier.
Lovers of quiet, romantic and contemplative leisure will enjoy staying in Perast, despite its small size. A visit to the local churches of St. Nicholas, Our Lady of the Reef, and St. George fills with spirituality and aesthetic feelings. The monument to Admiral of the Baltic Fleet M. Zmaevich, installed on Admirals Square, is impressive. Interesting excursions are to the island of St. George, where the abbey of Benedictine monks is located, and to the island of Gospa from Skrpjela, where, according to legend, the icon of the Virgin Mary was found, and in honor of this a church of the same name was built.
Tivat
The resort, named after (according to legend) the queen of the Illyrian (12-1st century BC) era - Teuta, is located among the irresistible beauties of the coast of the Tivat Bay. Looking at the surrounding landscapes, you begin to believe in the divine origin of the Earth and in its boundless generosity towards these heavenly places. It is no coincidence that life has been in full swing here for thousands of years, changing historical periods, from Illyrian times to Montenegrin times. Each era has left its mark on Tivat and its surroundings, giving it a special flavor.
A short isthmus connecting the city with the Island of Flowers allows you to visit the medieval monastery of Prevlaka (Serbian era), see unique sights, the Church of the Holy Trinity. A visit to another island, Otok, will introduce you to an ancient Jesuit monastery. The Venetian period is marked in Tivat by a 16th century palace complex. - summer residence of rulers. Walking through the Botanical Garden, founded during the era of Austrian rule, is very interesting. Beautiful beaches and a comfortable climate make tourists’ stay here pleasant and exciting.
Petrovac
One of the most fashionable resorts, beautiful and good for relaxation at any time of the year. Spacious promenade, wide beaches, picturesque surroundings, mass walking routes create the conditions for a great time. There is no crowd of vacationers here, as in others seaside resorts, since Petrovac is not affordable for everyone. But those who can afford to pay for expensive hotels and restaurants will experience paradisaic delight during your stay.
It’s worth just walking around the surrounding area, revealing the mysterious charm of the local nature and ancient buildings. For example, walking along the Upper Promenade of Shetalishte, you can admire stunning views of the sea and mountains, walk through authentic tunnels, incredibly picturesque rocks, oak and pine groves. The beaches of Petrovac (Lucica, Buljarica) are a wonderful place for swimming, sunbathing, relaxation and meditation. From the observation deck of the gray fortress Castello, the unearthly beauty of the urban and sea panorama opens.
Sutomore
Located in the center of the Adriatic coast, the Sutomore resort, like no other, is easily accessible to tourists - close to 2 airports, good roads and railway lines lead to it. In order to preserve the environment, during the summer season (06/01 to 09/15) entry by private cars is prohibited. The main tourist pearl of Sutomore is an extensive beach covered with a mixture of sand and small pebbles. The city of sea, sun and comfortable weather pleases with reasonable prices for accommodation in cozy private villas and family hotels and amazing nature.
Beach holidays and participation in excursions to neighboring cities make vacationers’ leisure time interesting and eventful, and many different restaurants bring pleasure to delicious food. By visiting ancient monuments: the Church of St. Thekla (12th century), the ruins of the Hay-Nekhai fortress (15th century) - you get acquainted with the ancient history of these places. Trips to Cetinje, Petrovac, Bar leave deep impressions and expand the scope of your acquaintance with this amazing country.
Sveti Stefan Island
A respectable island resort, considered a holiday destination for wealthy people, is located on St. Stephen Island, which has a rich history. The first building that appeared on it was the church of the same name, built in 1442 in honor of the defeat of the Ottoman detachment by the residents of the local village. During the Venetian era board of the island played a defensive role, and then became an ordinary fishermen’s village. During the years of socialism, luxury hotels were built here, and the island turned into a luxury resort, operating until the beginning of the 21st century. After the collapse of Yugoslavia, St. Stephen was abandoned for 10 years, and in 2007 its heyday began.
Now the island of Aman Sveti Stefaniy is a prestigious resort with 58 luxury apartments, 8 of which are located in the famous Villa Milocer (former royal residence). The sea current, washing up the gravel deposits, created a natural bridge between the island and the land, along which you can get to the resort paradise. The exquisite beach, characterized by its ideal cleanliness and impeccable infrastructure, is visited mainly by hotel residents. There is a public beach nearby where anyone can come. The pure blue of the sea and sky, the green mountains form a charming backdrop around the island.
Bar
The modern city of Bar is better known for its large seaport, but this fact does not detract from its advantages as a popular resort where you can have a wonderful time on the beaches and excursions. Freed from the Ottoman yoke at the end of the 19th century. at the cost of almost complete destruction, the city was rebuilt, moving closer to the sea. On the site of the former Bar, there remains an open-air museum - the Old Town, where excavations of the “Montenegrin Pompeii” are still underway.
A visit to the ruins of the old city is a mandatory item in the cultural program of tourists who have the opportunity to see with their own eyes the thousand-year-old ruins of architectural and fortification structures. A huge number of olive trees grow here, among which is the oldest specimen of the long-lived olive (2 thousand years old). The bar is a resort for unorganized tourists who come here on their own, so they book excursions to neighboring cities from local travel agencies or go on a “free sail” around the area of the bar.
Zabljak
A town with a not very euphonious name, which grew out of a small settlement where the khan’s caravans stopped for the night, now has the status of a popular ski resort. Although Zabljak lacks a highly developed infrastructure, the local natural conditions attract thousands of skiers. The pristine beauty of alpine meadows, dense coniferous forests, snow-capped peaks, mountain lakes and rivers, and neat houses makes even the most indifferent people freeze with admiration. Recently, a network of hotels and catering establishments has been actively developing.
At the end of November, a favorable time is established for fans of ski slopes and turns, lasting until the end of March, when the thickness of the snow cover reaches its maximum. The variety of slope heights allows both experienced skiers and beginners to ski. The Savin Kuk trails are very popular among them, where you can go downhill and cross-country skiing, snowboarding and sledding. Virtuosos skiing they prefer the highest route (2010 m, elevation difference 800 m). The remaining ski trails are located lower (from 1400 m) and have many branches.
Kolasin
The monastery of the ancient Slavs in the past, the town of Kolasin is surrounded on all sides by mountains, creating almost windless weather and providing many convenient places for skiing. mountain slopes. That’s why Kolasin is in demand now ski resort, where tourists come from all over Europe. In winter, there is freedom here not only for skiers and snowboarders, but also for those who simply love a quiet, secluded holiday among winter beauties. But even in summer there are a lot of people here: climbers climb the slopes of the mountains, climb to the peaks; kayakers swim on the lakes. In the ski center Bjelasica you can learn all types of winter sports.
In the city and its surroundings there are unique ancient monuments that are worth seeing. Tourists actively visit the ruins of the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (13th century), the Moraca Monastery (750 years old), and the Local History Museum with interesting exhibitions. Hiking trails lead to amazing mountain lakes, 5 of which are glacial, and the 6th, Biogradsko, is a real pearl of these places, of seismic origin. All of them are located on the territory of a biosphere reserve with pristine nature, a rich world of flora and fauna.
The entire coast (300 km) contains 117 beaches with different surfaces: pebble, sand-pebble and sand. Of course, it’s comfortable to walk on soft sand barefoot; you can bury yourself in it and warm up your bones. For those who prefer to relax on the sand, you should know where the resorts with sandy beaches are located. A few kilometers from the city of Ultsyn there is the famous Great Beach, 13 km long and 60 m wide.
It is covered with fine white sand, which has healing properties known to many Europeans. In the vicinity of Ulcin there is also Queen's Beach, with unusually soft sand and surprisingly clear water. Since it is surrounded by mountains on land, it can only be reached from the sea. wonderful sandy beaches there is in the Bar district, on the shore of Lake Skadar, on the Budva Riviera (Morgen I II, Becici, Kamenovo).
The rich nature, its amazing beauty, relatively inexpensive prices for accommodation and food make it attractive for families with children. IN major cities(Budva, Kotor), Sveti Stefaniy Island, the cost of a holiday is much higher than in small resorts, in small towns and villages. Among them, it is worth choosing the best beach conditions in terms of safety and convenience. When planning to travel with children, it is best to book an all-inclusive hotel so as not to waste time searching for a suitable restaurant or tavern.
Good conditions are offered by the resorts of Bar, Tivat, Podgorica, Herceg Novi, where many inexpensive hotels, inns, boarding houses, private villas, and various food establishments are open. Local cuisine is different high quality. In the vicinity of these cities there are cozy resort villages with all the necessary infrastructure for children.
As in many Mediterranean resorts, on the Montenegrin coast swimming season starts in May and ends in October. The exception is the city of Kotor, where the swimming season opens at the end of April and ends at the end of November. This is the hottest place in the country: the water in the Bay of Kotor is the warmest, the mountains protect from the north wind. In May it is already quite warm, but there is still no mass swimming, because although the air warms up to 23-24° during the day, the water is quite cool, just like in October. June pleases with daytime air temperatures from 25° to 28°, and the sea warms up to +22-23°. July and August are the hottest period. September is the time of the velvet season - there is no summer heat, but the sea is warm, there is an abundance of exotic fruits, various berries and vegetables on the market.
Each resort is unique and interesting in its own way. They have only one thing in common - a clear sea and magnificent landscapes.
Becici
Becici is a cozy resort village 3 km southeast of Budva, on the shores of the Adriatic Sea. There are many hotels, villas and apartments, a wonderful beach and excellent conditions for excursions around Montenegro.
The main pride of the resort village of Becici is the beach. In 1936 he received a medal and the title “Best Beach in Europe”. Nowadays, both adults and children enjoy relaxing on the wide two-kilometer beach, which has a mixed surface - golden sand and small pebbles. Most sections of the beach have been purchased by hotels - umbrellas and sunbeds are free for guests, but the rest will have to fork out more.
Budva
Budva is one of the oldest cities on the Adriatic coast. From Tivat Airport to Budva can be reached in 25 minutes, it is only 20 km away. Budva is not only cultural and economic developed city, but also the largest tourist center.
Tourists are attracted by clean pebble beaches, plenty of entertainment and the picturesque streets of the Old Town with its citadel, narrow cobbled streets and red-tiled roofs.
Young people come here to dance at night discos; couples with children to swim in the clear waters of the Adriatic; romantics of all stripes, who love to wander through ancient streets...
Budva is a universal resort; a holiday here will certainly leave pleasant memories.
Rafailovichi
Rafailovichi is a small resort village, almost merging with the neighboring village of Becici. The villages have common beaches, the distance to Budva is about 3-4 km.
Rafailovichi is a modern resort, with many hotels and well-developed tourist infrastructure. In addition to clean and beautiful beaches with amazing “corrugated” rocks, there are several excellent fish restaurants, which attract guests from other resort areas of Montenegro.
Sveti Stefan
Sveti Stefan is a closed island hotel 9 km from Budva. It is only 500 meters away from the coast - you can reach it through a narrow sandy isthmus.
At one time, members of the royal families of the Netherlands, Monaco, Italy, as well as famous actors, writers, prominent personalities from all over the world stayed in the hotels of Sveti Stefan: Sophia Loren, Yuri Gagarin, Sylvester Stallone, Claudia Schiffer and many others.
Ulcinj
Ulcinj is the southernmost Montenegrin resort city, located about a hundred kilometers from Tivat airport and next to the Albanian border. Ulcinj is not like other Montenegrin cities - Greeks, Romans, Turks, and Serbs have made their mark in its history. There are a lot of mosques in Ulcinj; the majority of the population professes Islam.
People mainly go to Ulcinj to swim and sunbathe on the magnificent beaches - Velika and Mala beaches. There is also a lot of interesting things in the city. For example, the Eastern Bazaar, open every Friday, is bright, noisy, and rich. You can stroll along the winding streets, soaking up the local flavor and listening to the calls to prayer coming from the minarets of local mosques.
Herceg Novi
Herceg Novi - big resort town at the foot of the Orjen mountains, in a wonderful place in the Bay of Kotor. European aristocracy and bourgeoisie have vacationed here for centuries; the resort is considered one of the most prestigious in Montenegro.
Tourists go to Herceg Novi to relax on comfortable and very diverse beaches (pebble, sandy, platform beaches).
The main attractions of Herceg Novi are the towers and fortress walls preserved from the times of the Venetians, Austrians and Turks. The most famous fortress is the formidable impregnable fort Forte Mare. Nowadays, film screenings and parties are sometimes held in the fortress.
Another tower that is definitely worth visiting and inspecting is Kanli Kula, the “Bloody Tower”, built by the Turks in the 16th century. The 85-meter tower has managed to be a prison, a public center and even a theater. Entrance for tourists is paid.
Resorts of Montenegro: where is it better to relax as a beachgoer, where as an eco-tourist, and where in general in winter?
Despite the name, people go to Montenegro (aka Montenegro) primarily for the beaches. A three-month visa-free period during the season, almost no language barrier and postcard views make the resorts of Montenegro very attractive. In addition, due to the small size of the country, a beach holiday can easily be combined with sightseeing. It is not surprising that there are traditionally many Russian tourists here.
Whether you were tempted by the low price of tours to Montenegro or decided to go on your own, first of all you need to decide: which resort to choose for your holiday?
My experience.
I have been to Montenegro twice as part of long trips to the Balkans. I liked the country the first time: it’s compact, relatively inexpensive – and there’s a lot to see. On the second trip my impressions were only confirmed. I’m not a big fan of purely resort leisure a la “all inclusive” and prefer independent holiday. I was attracted by cool locations for photography - and there is plenty of that here!
Both times I was in Montenegro in April: the sun was hot, but the sea remained icy. And if you're interested beach resorts Montenegro, then wait until the end of spring.
Monastery of St. George near Perast
About the weather.
Already in the second half of May, sunny weather sets in, and the water, although cool, +21°C, is suitable for swimming. But best time for this - in summer. When Mediterranean countries (Turkey, Cyprus, Greece) are languishing in stuffiness and heat, Montenegro is pleasantly warm and fresh: in July and August The Adriatic Sea warms up to + 26°C, and the air – up to +29°C. True, this is when tourists flood the already cramped beaches.
In September it gets a little colder, but until the end of the month - and in hot years until mid-October - the water temperature does not drop below +22°C. I recommend Velvet Season if you want to swim and go on excursions without crowds.
in winter The main resorts of Montenegro are the ski regions of Zabljak and Kolasin. The holiday season opens in mid-December. On the coast at this time it is relatively warm (+10°C...+12°C), but windy and rainy. But this is a good time for a budget trip with excursion purposes - prices for tours, accommodation and tickets are dropping.
About tours.
Not to say that Montenegro is a “package” destination. There are vouchers - a lot, and not only from Moscow. But when there is so much to see around you, being tied to one hotel can be annoying. Especially those who have it in their blood to rent a car and plan their own route :)
Tours are good for a regular vacation with a daily beach, walks around the town/village and one or two forays outside. I search for and book tours on online aggregators, it’s convenient for me - offers from all leading tour operators are collected directly - and it saves time:
A week's holiday in Montenegro in 2020 - during the season - will cost a minimum of 60,000 rubles for two. Prices for trips for families (mother, father, child and all inclusive) – from 120 thousand for 7 days. Not Türkiye, of course.

I admire the view of Kotor from the fortress From the point of view of historicity and beauty, Kotor is the leader of our list of Montenegrin resorts: its entire historical center is protected by UNESCO. The city was French, Austrian, Bulgarian, and Serbian, but the main mark on its appearance was left by Venetian rule. Kotor seemed to me like a demo version of Dubrovnik - the same magnificent architecture, but the streets are narrower and smaller in scope, but relatively inexpensive. Attractions. In my opinion, it’s better to just walk around Kotor in a relaxed manner, rather than run from point to point. But I still offer a list of the main locations:
Advice. The city gets a lot of day trippers from cruises, so head out early in the morning to avoid the crowds. But what seemed most impressive to me was not even Kotor itself, but the view of the bay from the top of the St. John’s Fortress. To climb the steep stairs from the old town from April to October you will have to pay €8. But nearby there is a more comfortable and gentle climb, free of charge. I’m sharing the coordinates of the trailhead: 42.427190, 18.773376.
Church of Our Lady of Health, Kotor Beaches. Kotor is a large and developed city, so there are no problems with shops, cafes and other infrastructure. But good places For beach holiday cannot be found, there is a port opposite, which affects the purity of the water.
It is also worth visiting Perast for the islands of Gospa od Shkrpela and St. George - in my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful places in Montenegro. What is the difference? ✓ UNESCO protected Old city ✓ Cool views of the bay ✓ Developed urban infrastructure ✓ Many tourists, including those who come to cruise ships ✓ Lack of places for beach holidays in the city itself and sandy beaches in its vicinity Tivat
When I was preparing for my first trip, I came across a review that stuck in my memory: “Upon arriving at Tivat airport, the vacationers immediately realized that something had gone wrong.” To put it tolerantly, the main air gates of the country have let us down a little. This is a former military airfield converted into a civilian airport, so its size does not allow it to adequately cope with the summer flow of tourists - and most charter flights land here. When walking from the plane to the airport building, be patient and do not judge the city, much less the country, by it. Advice. There are no bus stops directly at Tivat Airport, but you can go out onto the highway, walk about a hundred meters to the left to the stop and “catch” a bus in the right direction. Attractions. Although Tivat was founded before our era, it cannot boast of an authentic appearance or architectural monuments. They recommend taking a look at the Buča Palace, but, in my opinion, it rather resembles an overgrown mansion (may the Montenegrins forgive me!) and is not very interesting. A much more interesting modern attraction is Porto Montenegro, a mini-town with a yacht pier, luxury housing and a hotel: feel like you’re in Monaco! Beaches.
There are very few beaches in Tivat, but we found them :) In the city itself, the beach area is short and covered with small pebbles, and there are sharp stones in the sea, so you can’t do without slippers.
In general, Tivat pleases with the absence of elevation changes, good infrastructure and the availability of places for walking with children. Its other advantages are the proximity of the airport and convenient transport links to all resorts. What is the difference? ✓ Developing resort ✓ Relatively uncrowded ✓ Most beaches are outside the city
Budva (Becici and Rafailovici)Budva - perhaps the most popular resort among Russians. Even in the off-season, you can often hear our speech here, and from July to August it turns into a branch of the Krasnodar Territory: the beaches are crowded, as if Sochi in Soviet times. Budva is a great place for party lovers and beach parties. The center of nightlife is the old town and the embankment. If you are counting on relaxing holiday, you can consider less crowded the neighboring villages are Becici and Rafailovichi. The first one has mostly hotels, better transport links and better conditions for a family vacation - there are attractions and a water park. In the second there are more mini-hotels and apartments, fewer people and more affordable prices. The popularity of Budva is also explained by its “central” position: from here it is convenient to get to the Bay of Kotor, and to the southern coast, and inland – to the capital and national parks. . Attractions. There is also something to see in the city itself:
Beaches.
But the main secret of Budva’s attractiveness is its large selection of beaches, which outshine many beach resorts in Montenegro.
What is the difference? ✓ Cheap tours ✓ Many beaches in the Budva Riviera ✓ Convenient for traveling to other cities ✓ Nightlife: suitable for young people, but not good for a secluded holiday ✓ Nice old town ✓ Tourist overload during the season (especially with compatriot tourists) Becici and Rafailovici ✓ Proximity to Budva (with advantages like infrastructure and disadvantages like a lot of vacationers) ✓ Wide beach strip ✓ Water park and attractions for children Sveti Stefan
The fortress and ancient houses on the island of Sveti Stefan were turned into a hotel complex in the middle of the last century, which became the most luxurious holiday destination in Montenegro. Guests of the island hotel included Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren, as well as members of the royal families of Great Britain and the Netherlands. The elite neighborhood leaves its mark on the resort village of Sveti Stefan, located near the island: on average, prices are one and a half times higher than in Montenegro. Let's say the most cheap tour for two (flight + accommodation without meals) for 7 days in June 2020 in Budva it costs 50 thousand rubles, in Sveti Stefan - 65 thousand. The same applies to the cost of products, restaurant menus and other services. Advice. The relief of the village is hilly, if you are not ready for daily ascents and descents along steep stairs, choose housing closer to the sea. On the other hand, the price barrier reduces the flow of tourists, and even during the season it is not crowded. Beaches. Beaches of Sveti Stefan:
Attractions. There are relatively few other leisure options in Sveti Stefan:
Advice. According to reviews from tourists, the best restaurant in the vicinity of Sveti Stefan is the Drago restaurant. What is the difference? ✓ Higher prices than the rest of Montenegro ✓ Beautiful views ✓ Some of the least crowded beaches ✓ Lack of evening leisure and nightlife ✓ Hilly terrain, constant ups and downs, steep stairs to the beach UlcinjUlcinj is the most Southern City and the center of the Albanian community: even the road signs here are written in two languages. Ulcinj has an oriental flavor, the main contingent of vacationers are Albanians and Bosnians. There are few Russians here, but if you are interested primarily in the sea and resorts of Montenegro with sandy beaches, then I recommend taking a closer look. Beaches. South of Ulcinj is the longest beach in the country - Big beach(Velika Plaza) with a length of about 13 km, where there is a place even at the height of the season. It is famous not only for its length, but also for its coating - black volcanic sand, which looks like cement chips.
On average, a holiday in Ulcinj costs less than in other parts of Montenegro. However, getting to it from the airports of Tivat and Podgorica is longer and more difficult. There are few leisure options here: this is, after all, a province. Attractions. Due to the remoteness of Ulcinj, traveling around the country without a car is difficult, but it is convenient to get to Lake Skadar (personally, I was not impressed by it and seemed more like a picnic spot than an object of tourist interest). Or you can go to the Albanian city of Shkodor, where I recommend the Rozafa fortress and the curved Mes bridge. Fortunately, Russians do not need a visa to visit Albania in the summer. In Ulcinj itself, it is worth taking a walk through the old town and visiting the Citadel, where Cervantes was imprisoned. It was there that he came up with the image of Dulcinea of Toboso, Don Quixote's beloved. What is the difference? ✓ The water warms up a little earlier ✓ A long strip of beaches and their diversity ✓ Oriental flavor and proximity to Albania ✓ Don’t go on a spree – everything is orderly and quiet
ZabljakZabljak is the only resort I’m considering that is not on the seashore. It is located inland at an altitude of 1456 meters, making it the highest city in the Balkans. By Russian standards this is quite tiny locality which can be explored on foot. At the same time, it has all the necessary infrastructure: cafes, shops, bakeries and hotels. Zabljak is a year-round resort: nature lovers and trekkers come here in summer, skiers and snowboarders come here in winter. Two work ski slope: on the Javorovaca and Savin Kuk mountains. The first, with a length of slopes of about 800 meters, is suitable for beginners; the price of a daily ski pass in 2019-2020 is €8 for an adult and €5 for a child. The second one, with a length of pistes of 3500 meters, is already more interesting, but the ski pass is also expensive - €12 and €8, respectively.
There are no attractions in Zabljak itself, but it is located on the territory national park Durmitor, therefore, there are many beautiful places in its surroundings. Among them:
Advice. If you, like me, love extreme experiences, take a zipline ride near the Djurdjevic Bridge. I chose the longer route for €20 (there is an even shorter route for €10) and did not regret the money spent. What is the difference? ✓ Year-round resort with ski slopes and picturesque nature ✓ Natural and man-made attractions in the surrounding area ✓ To explore them comfortably or get to the ski slopes, you need to rent a car or negotiate transportation services with local
Types of Perast More often, Montenegro is chosen for a beach holiday, which, on the one hand, is strange: there are few sandy beaches and no resort hotels - but there are cute towns, delicious food and a warm sea, and nature seems to be created for admiring the views from a sun lounger while sipping wine from a glass. And the leisurely southern Montenegrins themselves, about whose laziness there are stories and jokes in the Balkans, set a relaxed pace. Finally, I’ll tell you what you should be prepared for when vacationing in Montenegro:
But these shortcomings did not bother me at all, and remembering the incredible landscapes and delicious prosciutto, I want to go to Montenegro again. I wish you a great holiday!
