About this experience
Montenegro is a colorful country with almost toy-like coastal towns, labyrinths of ancient streets, ancient cathedrals, and palaces of Venetian nobility. You will walk through Perast, Kotor, and Njegusi, drive on serpentine roads to Mount Lovcen, from where breathtaking views unfold. You will see the entire Boka-Kotor Bay - it seems like you can reach out and have it on the palm of your hand!
What to expect
Ancient Perast, Our Lady of the Rocks Island, and Ancient Kotor
Incredible reliefs, fishing villages, and huge liners - that's what distinguishes the southernmost fjord in Europe. You will visit the miniature town of Perast, which looks like a movie set. I will tell you how this place is connected to the garde marines and Russian history.
Then we will take a boat to the legendary island of Our Lady of the Rocks. We will visit the church of the Mother of God and be inspired by grace.
We will visit Kotor - a popular tourist destination that has preserved its original character. Here you want to touch the ancient walls and listen to their vibrations, sip kuvana kafa (Turkish coffee) on a tiny square, and admire the city from the staircase leading to the San Giovanni fortress.
Mount Lovcen and Royal Njegusi
We will leisurely drive on the serpentine road to Mount Lovcen. We will stop at viewpoint platforms and admire the fjord panorama. The ancient settlement of Njegusi - the birthplace of the royal Petrovic family - will greet us at the end of the serpentine. You will relax with lunch featuring the famous local delicacy, prosciutto.
The mountain itself is a sacred place for every Montenegrin. At its peak stands the magnificent mausoleum of the most famous of the Njegus family, Petar II Petrovic, where we will go. And we will climb to the viewpoint, from where the entire bay is perfectly visible.
