Tours through Montenegro
Hardly one hour from Dubrovnik, the
Montenegro Littoral provides incomparable natural beauties and an abundance
of historical sites. Our drive takes us to the mouth of the Bay of Kotor
and along the curving roadway through the towns of Risan and Perast to
Kotor. Here we will stop to capture forever on film one of the most beautiful
parts of the bay, and learn some of the compelling history of this area
The old town of Kotor is one of the best-preserved medieval
towns in this part of the Mediterranean. It was succeeded in preserving
its original form, so typical of towns between the XII and the XIV century.
The asymmetric structure of the narrow streets and squares, combined with
the numerous valuable monuments of medieval architecture, contributed
to Kotor being placed on UNESCO’s “The world natural and cultural
inheritance” list. The cultural inheritance of this town is enriched
by the unique architectural styles and the ambient atmosphere. The fortification
system of Kotor, which protects it from the sea, is actually a wall 4.5
km long, 20 m high and 15 m wide, and is preserved as one of the world’s
historic values.

Sveti
Stefan - named after Saint Stephen, the patron Saint of Montenegro
- is a small tourist town which has managed to retain much of its
ancient character.
Frequented by the rich and famous and considered by many to be the
most attractive spot on the Adriatic coast, the tiny island rises
dramatically a few yards off a beautiful curved beach. So picturesque
it is almost unreal, the island consists of a 14th-Century walled
village where the exclusive hotel complex is built, topped by an
Orthodox Church and linked to the mainland by a bridge.
Budva is the metropolis of Montenegrin tourism thanks to the great
number of beaches that make this a most desirable tourist destination.
Apart from its natural beauty, such as its bay islands and beaches,
Budva is rich in historic monuments. Stari Grad lays on a small
peninsula and represents a treasure chest of culture heritage. Crossed
with narrow streets and squares are famous buildings, the Church
Sv. Trojica, housing the tomb of the exquisite writer Stjepan Mitrov
Ljubisa, the Churches of Sv. Ivan, Sv. Bogorodica and Sv. Sava.
During the summer months it turns into a City Theatre with numerous
local performances and shows from abroad. In the Stari Grad you
can also visit many shops, cafés, restaurants and galleries.
Monasteries Stanjevici, Podostrog, Rezevici i Gradiste are important
historic and religious monuments of Budva.
The Budva coast is 21 km long with 17 beaches. It is among the most
beautiful coasts in the world and its beauty will not leave you
indifferent.

The lake is placed in Zetsko-skadarska
valley 7km far from the sea. 2/3 of it belong to Montenegro and 1/3 is
located on Albanian territory. Depending on the water level, the lake
surface varies from 370 to 530km2. A Montenegrin part of the Skadar lake,
with 40 000m2 surface together with the coast, was proclaimed national
park. The lake presents crypto-depression which means that some parts
of its bottom are under the sea level. There are around 30 such places
and they are called “oke”. The deepest “oko” is
Radus, at least 60m deep. The average depth is 6m. .. read
