🌏 Destination Overview
Montenegro is an underrated pearl of the Balkan Peninsula. The Bay of Kotor is the southernmost fjord in Europe, where a red-roofed old town nestles between steep black peaks and the blue bay, and climbing the fortress walls to overlook the whole bay takes your breath away; the islet of Sveti Stefan is a resort icon on the Adriatic, a stone islet linked to the land, and Durmitor National Park has deep canyons, glacial lakes and winding mountain roads. Coast and high mountains are close at hand, making Montenegro a great-value choice for road trips and coastal vacations.
