Guest blog post by Nataša Djukanović Last weekend we visited Theth for the second time. A fascinating environment! This time we were accompanied by my two daughters. I never thought that Theth would have such an impact on Nataša and I am proud to publish her impressions! It’s been five days since I am back […]
SUNSET IN PERAST
The most beautiful time of the day to visit Perast is around sunset. During the tourist season, when all resorts on the Montenegrin Coast are overcrowded, you can be sure that the atmosphere in Perast is relaxed and peaceful. It has really been a good idea to close the promenade for traffic. You can park […]
ALBANIA: LAKE SHKODRA RESORT – A PLACE TO BE
At just an hour’s drive from Podgorica we found a peaceful oasis on the shores of Skadar Lake: Lake Shkodra Resort, a perfect place to spend a weekend with our camper. In Montenegro it is very difficult to find a suitable campsite, in particular during the summer season, but on the other side of the […]
A QUIET WEEKEND IN SLANO, CROATIA
Escaping from the crowded and noisy Montenegrin Coast, we spent a long weekend in Slano. Our dear friend Marijana, owner of Camp Rogač (rogač = carob) in Grgurići, provided us with a beautiful pitch, so that we could park our camper in the shadow of a big carob tree, just 20 m from the beach. […]
ROUND TRIP WITH VISIT TO THE OSTROG MONASTERY
Ostrog has become one of the most important attractions of Montenegro, in particular since the new road from Danilovgrad to the monastery was finished and the old road – which passes through the village of Bogetići – was reconstructed. From Podgorica, you can thus make a beautiful round trip that offers much more than a […]
KATUNSKA NAHIJA: ALONG THE ROAD DANILOVGRAD – ČEVO – CETINJE
There are some roads in the central part of Montenegro that are mainly unknown to foreign tourists. One of them is the road through “Old Montenegro” or “Katunska nahija”, which leads from Danilovgrad to Čevo and further to Cetinje or Lovćen National Park. Exploring this area means discovering the authentic Montenegro: no tourists, hardly any […]
BYLLIS, A SECRET ARCHEOLOGICAL SITE IN ALBANIA
On our trip to Albania, in June, we planned to visit the archeological site of Byllis. It was not easy to discover this place on the map of Albania. However, gathering internet data about cultural monuments in Albania, we succeeded in finding some information about this ancient city, whose remains are situated north-east of Vlore, […]
TREASURES OF THE ZETA RIVER
After a busy day, I feel totally relaxed when I spend an hour or so in Rogami, on the bank of the Zeta river, at a 10 minutes drive from the center of Podgorica. Do you know the meaning of the name “Zeta”? One theory is that it derives from an early root meaning “harvest” […]
ALBANIA: THE CHURCHES OF VOSKOPOJA
On our round trip through the southern part of Albania last month, we were very curious to visit Voskopoja, as this village was once the largest town in the Balkan region, after Istanbul.
BUKUMIRSKO LAKE, THE HEART OF THE KUČKA KRAJINA MOUNTAINS
Wishing to escape from the hot city, we decided to spend a day in the mountains of Kučka Krajina and to visit Bukumirsko Lake. This Lake is situated at an altitude of 1,440 m above sea level and at a distance of only 45 km from Podgorica. On the 20th kilometer of the road to […]
