Montenegro - Coastline

Located just south of Dubrovnik is Montenegro, a small independent state, largely known for its natural beauty, cultural heritage and customs, all of which we would like to introduce you to during this excursion.

Shortly after crossing the Croatian Montenegrin border, we find ourselves in the Bay of Kotor, a breathtaking bay, where the mountains descend to the sea and abounding with picturesque towns and villages such as Herceg Novi, Perast and Risan. 

The first town that we will visit - Kotor, will captivate you at first sight. It is located at the innermost point of the Bay of Kotor and is under UNESCO protection. After visiting the old town, we will leave the Bay of Kotor and head towards the Montenegrin coast, which has many sandy beaches and coves that lie at the foot of the scenic mountains. Our trip will take us all the way to Budva - the Montenegrin tourist center. There you will have the opportunity to tour the old city and its scattered narrow streets, and to enjoy the unforgettable setting of its Citadel fortress. Our return will be by ferryboat across the Bay of Kotor.
