Land of Black Mountains

A small Balkan territory, Montenegro – literally «black mountain» due to its thick pine forests – skilfully blends Adriatic riches and Alpine heritage. On its Mediterranean coast, featuring one of Europe's most beautiful fjords, the Bay of Kotor plunges masterfully inland for about twenty kilometres, hosting medieval towns, small harbours, religious buildings and flowery islets. The Bay of Kotor are fully appreciated by sailing in the bay: admire the fortified city of Kotor, with its narrow streets winding between Venetian monuments; then head towards the charming baroque village of Perast erected at the foot of the hill Saint Elijah ; Continue to the garden city of Herceg Novi, then finish with the trendy part. Tivat, which welcomes luxurious yachts in its harbour. Further south, the seaside resort of Budva It is distinguished by its old town, enclosed by ramparts, and its numerous fine sandy beaches. Another gem on the Montenegrin coast: Saint Stephen, a former fishing village built on a rocky peninsula, has been converted into a luxury hotel. As soon as you leave the coast, grandiose forest and mountainous landscapes emerge. Offering a superb panorama of the Bay of Kotor, the Lovćen National Park It is home to typical flora and fauna, as well as the mausoleum of Petar II. More wild, the Durmitor National Park is a superb mosaic of primeval forests, glacial lakes, peaks, canyons and caves. Finally, ornithology enthusiasts will not miss a stop at Lake Skadar, home to over 270 species of birds.
