Discover the hidden gems of picturesque Montenegro - travelling from Tivat to Petrovac, exploring spectacular lakes and medieval towns along the way
Tivat - 2 nights
Žabljak - 1 night
Petrovac - 4 nights
For a small country, Montenegro is home to some of the Adriatic’s most picturesque scenery. It boasts sapphire-blue waters leading into coastal fjords, and medieval towns with elegant palazzos reminiscent of Venice.
Montenegro is often considered a new country, however since the split of the Roman empire, the country has been influenced by various people from the Ottomans, the Austro-Hungarians to the Soviets and its history is closely intertwined with its Balkan neighbours. Its architecture is a mixture of many influences, from Roman and Venetian to Ottoman and modern times.
The UNESCO site of Bay of Kotor is the most southerly fjord in Europe and unique in the Mediterranean. The country is home to five national parks and Europe’s last virgin forest within Biogradska Gora National Park.
