Montenegro is one of the last undiscovered jewels of Europe. Nestling against the Adriatic Sea, this small, proud land sweeps up from shimmering lakes and rivers to the soaring mountains that give this fairy-tale destination its distinctive name.
A land of stunning beauty
From crashing mountain streams to the refreshing lapping of the lagoons and pools that curl around the coast, Montenegro is a land of contrasts and beauty. Our optional excursion package takes us to sample the ancient, Venice-like stone pathways and streets at Budva, as well as the smiling welcome of Herceg Novi and the romantic atmosphere of St Stefan.
Our hotel on the Bay of Kotor
We will stay near to the coast in a three-star hotel on the edge of the beautiful Kotor Inlet. This dramatic, fjord-like bay flecked with islands and historic chapels, fishing boats and rare sea birds is surrounded by steep mountainsides and is rightly a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The mysterious island of Saint Stefan
Every last corner of the wonderfully mystical island of Saint Stefan appears to be covered by historic homes and winding pathways precariously balanced together and connected to the mainland only by a narrow causeway. A place once visited, never forgotten.
Vast Skadar lakes
Exploring the Skadar lakes of eastern Montenegro, we will discover the vast Nature Reserve of the largest lake on this peninsula. The World Wildlife Fund recorded recently that up to 250,000 birds lived on the lake and its many island sanctuaries.
A marvellous destination
This will be an unforgettable journey to the sunshine, coasts, history, beauty and vibrancy of Europe's youngest nation. Delightful Montenegro, as yet undiscovered by most, will be a destination to talk about for years to come. |
