MONTENEGRO RIVIERA
Montengro shore excursion takes you from Dubrovnik to the Montenegrin border via Konavle region, less known wine region of Dubrovnik Riviera, equally famous for its flat landscape ideal for cycling, riding and quadbiking. Once we pass the border which is some forty-five minutes away from Dubrovnik, we enter Herceg Novi Riviera. Montenegro's Herceg Novi Bay is the first one in the series of three bays. The landscape is a cacophony of modern day urban planning and the legacy of socialist era. However, once we reach the entrance to Kotor Bay, this is where your breath is taken away and more so as we approach Perast and Kotor. The latter is a legacy of bespoke merchant navy tradition and its churches and palaces have lived the day to tell the tales.
Upon leaving Kotor, we head towards the town of Budva through Tivat field. The town of Budva is bustling with visitors as it is one big cultural open stage in summer months. Its old town is ideal for spot of shopping. Apart from Kotor, the highlights of Montenegro Riviera trip is a visit to St Stefan, former fishing village, now luxury village hotel complex, famous for its red pebbles beach. This Montenegro travel so to speak is an ideal opportunity to combine culture with spot of swimming as we do so in St Stefan.
MONTENEGRO EXTENDED RIVIERA.
Montenegro Extended Riviera day trip goes a step further as it takes you to Montenegrin's cultural capital Cetinje, a residence of Petrovic Royal family. The peak of mountain Lovcen ( Jezerski vrh- 1657) is a resting place for Petar II Petrovic Njegos (1813 – 1851), founding father of Montenegro' modern day state. This imposing mausoleum is work of art of Croatia's best know sculptor Ivan Mestrovic. Please note that we cater for special requests to take you to Durmitor, Biogradska Gora, Rijeka Crnojevica and Skadar National Parks.
