Destination guide
Montenegro
A fjord like bay, an islet hotel and an old town you cross on foot in ten minutes.
Why we take guests here
Montenegro fits an enormous amount of coastline into a very small country. The Bay of Kotor is the reason: mountains drop straight into the water in a shape most guests assume is a fjord, and the road around it never runs straight for long. Kotor’s old town sits at the back of the bay, a walled maze small enough to cross on foot in ten minutes and worth spending an hour in anyway. Budva carries the beach life and the old town both, Sveti Stefan sits on its own islet just south of it, and Perast, a few minutes past Kotor, is the quiet version of the same coast, two islands offshore and a bell tower that outlasted everything around it. We plan Montenegro around the water and the light, a boat morning into the bay’s coves, a sunset from Perast or from Kotor’s fortress walls, and a private vehicle so the short, winding coast road never feels like a chore.

Before you go
How do you handle the planning and the entry paperwork?
A planner goes through the current entry and document requirements for your passport before anything is confirmed, and checks them again close to departure. We tell you what applies to your travel window rather than quoting a rule from memory.
Is the Bay of Kotor really worth a full boat morning?
We think so. The coves and the two islets off Perast are best seen from the water rather than from the road above them, and a private boat means we choose the pace and the swim stops instead of following a fixed tour timetable.
Can we combine Montenegro with Albania or Bosnia?
Yes, and it is one of the most natural routes on this list. The three countries share the same coast and mountain roads, and one vehicle and one driver can carry a route between them without repacking at every border.
