Montenegro a Day Tour
Description
Discover Montenegro's Adriatic coastline and its historic Bays of Budva and Kotor on a guided tour from Tirana, Albania. Enjoy a full-day journey filled with charming towns and coastal scenery.
Montenegro may have declared its independence in June 2006, yet it is its medieval castles and settlements that offer unique traces of its history, and have placed Crna Gora - which means "Black Mountains", in world's attention. We will travel from Tirana, Albania along its mesmerizing Adriatic sea coastline. In our full-day tour we will have the opportunity to discover the Bay of Budva, the UNESCO city of Kotor, and the petite island of Sveti Stefan. We will depart from your Tirana hotel in the morning with an air-conditioned vehicle, and head towards north Albania. We will have a quick coffee break by the Buna River at the footsteps of the beautiful castle of Shkodra. Upon crossing the Albanian-Montenegrin border, we will initially head towards the city of Budva - one hour and half drive from the border. Prior to reaching the wonderful Bay of Budva, we will have a quick stop at the most iconic Montenegro destination: the tiny islet of Sveti Stefan. One of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic coast, Budva is 2,500 years old, and is known for its well-preserved medieval walled city and unspoiled sandy beaches. We will have time to visit and sightsee the Old Town, and enjoy some free time prior to heading to the bay of Kotor. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Kotor is an ideal destination with its imposing medieval build-in-the-mountain castle walls and little artisan shops. You will have free time to explore the old city and its local shops. In the late afternoon we will head back to the Albanian border, and then you will be dropped off in the Tirana hotel that you were picked up from.
