If you want to escape from crowded places and enjoy the autumn sun and fresh sea air, it is a good idea to visit one of the most famous spots on the Montenegin coast: the island of Sveti Stefan with the Miločer Park, located around 6 km south of Budva. I do have beautiful memories […]

5 THINGS TO DO IN BUDVA OFF-SEASON
Budva is one of my favorite places for a day trip in spring or autumn. And even in winter it is nice to spend some time on the Budva Riviera when the weather is sunny. There are many things to do in and around Budva. Enjoying a cup of coffee on the beach of Richard’s […]
EXPLORING LUŠTICA
The beautiful sunny weather in October invited us to explore different unknown places along the Montenegrin Coast: Luštica was one of them. This peninsula is a paradise for photographers, but will it remain so attractive in the future? Hard to say, as many new modern houses and resorts are under construction nowadays. But we succeeded […]
THE WALKING TRAILS OF PETROVAC
I like visiting Petrovac off-season, when it still looks like the idyllic and quiet village it used to be in the 1970s (see photo). In those times, the few low-rise hotels and villas in the crescent-shaped secluded bay were usually occupied by elder guests from Western Europe, who loved the peaceful atmosphere, the red beach […]
THE DECLINE OF ADA BOJANA
Last week we visited Ada Bojana for the first time this year and there is no need to say that it was a huge disappointment to see the progressing devastation of the nudist holiday resort and the disastrous decline of the island itself. The triangular island of Ada Bojana (Ada is the Turkish word for […]
A DAY TRIP TO KOLAŠIN
The charming town of Kolašin has become one of the most important winter sports resorts of Montenegro, but did you know that it is also a very attractive place during the summer? Maybe you would think that this mountain resort doesn’t have much to offer when there is no snow, but there are many reasons […]
THE SAD STORY OF VALDANOS
The first time I visited Valdanos was around thirty years ago, when I spent a few days with my children in a cottage at the military holiday resort. I remember it as a nice place in a magnificent bay, which was not too overcrowded. But many things have changed in the meantime. I have not […]
EXPLORING NATURE PARK PIVA
Although we have crisscrossed the northern part of Montenegro many times, Nature Park Piva is still a rather unknown area for us. We started our discovery trips in June of this year with an off-road tour along the Komarnica river. This time we intended to explore the plateau around Crkvičko Polje. This area consists of […]
AN AMAZING OFF-ROAD TOUR ABOVE THE KOMARNICA CANYON
Although we have crisscrossed the Durmitor region many times, we have never explored the narrow mountain road from Šavnik to Plužine that runs above the Komarnica Canyon. Some stretches of this route are forest and dirt roads, which makes this trip particularly suitable for all-terrain vehicles, but the tour can also be done by robust […]
REVISITING KRNJICE: AN AMAZING SKADAR LAKE BOAT CRUISE
Assuming that the corona crisis is almost over, we were happy to accept Jelena’s invitation to join her for a Skadar Lake boat cruise to Krnjice with one of their traditional boats (www.lakeskadar.me) The five hours lasting tour appeared to be a mix of pelican spotting, stunning nature, birdwatching, local gastronomic specialties, abandoned fishermen’s villages […]
