"Imagine a place with sapphire beaches as spectacular as Croatia's, rugged peaks as dramatic as Switzerland's, canyons nearly as deep as Colorado's, palazzi as elegant as Venice's and towns as old as Greece's. Then wrap it up in a Mediterranean climate and squish it into an area two-thirds the size of Wales, and you start to get a picture of MONTENEGRO (Црна Гора)"

On the way to KOTOR
BAY OF KOTOR - OLD TOWN
KOTOR
KOTOR was ruled consecutively by Illyrians, Romans, Hungarians, Medieval Serbia, Venetians, the French and the Austrians. A small and extremely beautiful city, during its rich history it was an important maritime centre.
The old town of KOTOR is wedged between brooding mountains and a moody corner of the bay. Its sturdy walls, started in the 9th century and added to until the 18th, arch steeply up the slopes behind it.
Smell the gums!
On our way to DUBROVNIK
Arrival in DUBROVNIK
The Stadun, the old town's main marbled street, sports baroque buildings. The ancient city walls protected a civilised, sophisticated republic for five centuries and now look onto the endless shimmer of the peaceful Adriatic.
