What do 14,000 square kilometers look like? Ten New-York cities, seven Paris cities, … and the whole country. Strange as it seems, such a small area hosts the whole country. Moreover, it has everything a tourist can dream of – mountain ranges, breathtaking views, warm sea waters, mouth-watering foods…Montenegro is a treasure trove for tourists and its locals.
Montenegro is one of the Balkan countries, bordering Croatia, Albania, and Serbia. Montenegro is a comfortable country, which you can explore through and through within a standard two-week vacation.
Let’s see what Montenegro offers to its visitors.
Montenegro, as its name suggests, is the Black Mountain, or Črna Gora (preferred name for locals). Right from the plane, when landing, you can see that Montenegro is embraced by a Dinaric range of mountains. Its highest peak is Bobotov Peak (Bobotov Kuk) reaching 2.522 meters. If you are a fan of hiking, Bobotov Peak is waiting for your visit. The climb is rather exhausting, especially the very last kilometer, yet the scenery is worth it. On the way to the top, you can see mountain goats and sheep looking for fresh food.
Another iconic place, according to travelwiseway.com, is Falcon’s Throat (Grlo Sokolovo), a part of the Albanian Alps, located in Cijevna Canyon. A short hiking trip will take you to the top of the mountain, where you can have a pitstop on the beach while observing the endless mountain ranges of Albania.
These are only two examples of the long list of spots to see. Thus, double-check if you have packed a pair of hiking shoes, as you will need them quite a few times.
After active trekking to the mountains, we all need some recovery time. Montenegro offers the most beneficial type of it – sea swimming.
Montenegro is situated along the seaside of the Adriatic Sea, famous for its azure blue colors. Although we are all used to seeing the blue colors of the sea waters, the Montenegrin one is different, its shade is created by the presence of salts and minerals.
The seaside cities are Herceg-Novi, Kotor, Budva, Bar, Ulcinj, Sveti Stefan and Tivat. They all offer various types of accommodation, fitting any taste and budget. Considering the bigger number of flights opened to Montenegro, according to Iryna Bolshakova, a travel writer, Montenegro will become a top place for visits this summer.
It is important to understand that beach cities are rather crowded during summer days, thus, it is better to plan the vacation appropriately.
The typical Montenegrin meal contains meat, fresh cheese, bakery, and fresh vegetables. Though the foods are mainly simple, they are rich, flavorful, and delicious. The classics to try are cevapi, kacamak, and priganice, which are claimed to have Turkish influence; yet, there are always classic Mediterranean options to order in cafes.
Montenegro is the best choice for those who want to combine mountain and sea vacations. Its compact size makes the sightseeing tour pretty comfortable. Besides, while heading to your next destination, you will enjoy winding mountain roads, with panoramic views along the way.
If you are still considering the options for your next vacation, choose Montenegro and start planning the trip of a lifetime.
