Montenegro is a Balkan country in southeast Europe, with a relatively short coastline facing the Adriatic Sea to the southwest.
Given its name translates to ‘black mountain’, it comes as no surprise Montenegro has some jaw dropping scenery. Dark, rugged terrain and gorgeous water inlets comprise most sights, and the coastline is one of the crowning jewels of the Adriatic, with picturesque cities and stunning stretches of sand.
Steeped in history and lauded by UNESCO, Kotor is a medieval, fortified town perching on the edge of the namesake bay, offering some of the country’s most impressive backdrops. Budva is another tourist favourite, known for its incredible nightlife, even better beaches and red-roof houses. Finally, the capital, Podgorica is the economic and cultural hub, boasting a lovely mix of Turkish, Roman and modern architecture.
Sailing across the Adriatic Sea is a popular way of exploring the Balkans, particularly from Italy. The Italian ‘heel’ lies opposite Montenegro to the southwest and there are regular ferry crossings from Bari to the small Montenegrin seaport of Bar, in the south.
