Only few tourists take the opportunity to explore the fishing villages along the narrow road that leads from Kotor to Lepetane, on the foot of the 768 m high peninsula and mountain called Vrmac.

5 MUST VISIT PLACES IN MONTENEGRO
In my home town Podgorica, February is cold and rainy this year. Hardly any possibilities to make trips and discover new places in Montenegro. But never mind!

It has really been a good idea to close the promenade for traffic. You can park […]
