Montenegro - Monte Negro - Black Mountain

 



Montenegro is a small Balkan country with rugged mountains, medieval villages and a narrow strip of beaches along its Adriatic coastline. The Bay of Kotor, resembling a fjord, is dotted with coastal churches and fortified towns such as Kotor and Herceg Novi. Durmitor National Park encompasses limestone peaks, glacial lakes, wildlife such as bears and wolves, and 1,300m-deep Tara River Canyon.

Linda: "After crossing the border into Montenegro we met  our local guide.  Passing an real-estate rich town of Peraste, two islands sat in front of the town.  One man-made. - Lady of Rocks by sinking a ship with rocks another one is St George"

In July and August people pour into Kotor and the yachts of the super-rich fill the marina, but this town never gets quite as crowded as some other parts of the coast – this sheltered arm of the bay just isn’t as appealing for swimming. But anyone with a heart for romance, living history and architecture will find Kotor a highlight of their Montenegrin travels.
