Boka Kotorska is a superb hiking area, in particular in spring and autumn. Although there are several trails and paths around Boka, hiking along the Vrmac ridge is getting more and more popular. Why? First of all, Vrmac has a very special position, as it is a long limestone ridge, separating the inner and outer […]

THE FORGOTTEN PREHISTORIC DRAWINGS OF LIPCI
I am sure that almost all tourists traveling around the Bay of Kotor have seen the tourist signpost for “Lipci” on the round-about, where the new road from Žabljak/Nikšić joins the coastal road (south of Risan). And I am also sure that hardly anybody has made efforts to find this archeological treasure, as there are […]
BOKA KOTORSKA: THE CHARM OF MORINJ
If you want to spend a quiet weekend on the Montenegrin Coast, I would like to recommend Morinj, a small and picturesque seaside hamlet right in the middle of the Bay of Kotor, halfway between the towns of Kotor and Herceg Novi (5 km from Risan). It is well-known for its lush green mountains, pebble […]
GRAHOVO, WITNESS OF A TURBULENT PAST
Traveling from Podgorica (or Nikšić) to the Bay of Kotor has become much easier by the new highway Žabljak-Risan. The road has been under construction for a long time, but now it is an excellent highway passing through untouched nature, crossing the Grahovo plain (Grahovsko polje) and winding down towards the Bay of Boka Kotorska, […]
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 […]
BIJELA: AN ECOLOGICAL BLACK SPOT IN THE BEAUTIFUL BOKA KOTORSKA
My small studio in Bijela is an oasis of peace in the summer months, when more famous tourist resorts are overcrowded, hot and dirty. The sea is clean, we have a great view of Mt Lovćen and many nice beaches in Boka are accessible when you have a boat: not only around Tivat and its […]
GORNJI STOLIV – A WALKING TOUR THROUGH CHESTNUT WOODS
Early spring is an ideal period for a walking tour to Gornji Stoliv in the Bay of Boka Kotorska. Driving from Tivat in the direction of Prčanj and Kotor, you will soon arrive in the picturesque village of Stoliv, a small fisherman’s settlement from the 14th century that remained preserved over the centuries. Stoliv is […]
A WINTER DAY IN HERCEG NOVI – THE TOWN OF MIMOSA
Last week we took advantage of the only sunny weekend in February and we visited Herceg Novi – a town that is recognized by mimosa trees and numerous steps. Herceg Novi is one of the few Montenegrin cities that are also attractive in winter, as it is very rich in greenery and tropical flowers. Each year […]
INDIAN SUMMER ON MOUNT LOVĆEN
The last weekend, warm and sunny, was an excellent opportunity to make a tour around the Lovćen National Park and enjoy the beautiful autumn colours of the beech forests and the spectacular view from the rotunda of Njegoš’s mausoleum on the summit of Jezerski Vrh. We took the road from Cetinje to Ivanova Korita and then […]
KRIVOŠIJE
Are you spending your holidays in the Bay of Boka Kotorska? Maybe you are tired of the sun, sea and crowded beaches? Take your car and make a day trip to Krivošije, a high plateau on the eastern branches of Mount Orjen (1894m). Within an hour you can enjoy pure nature, silence and a cool […]
