Southern (Coastal) Region
Where the Sea Air Smells Sweet
Along Montenegro’s sun-kissed Adriatic coast, a string of captivating towns and villages beckons travellers with their charm and history: Herceg Novi, Igalo, Kotor, Budva, Sveti Stefan, Petrovac, Bar, and Ulcinj.
Nestled at the foot of Mt. Orjen, the stunning fjord of Kotor is a sight to behold, with its waters glistening under the Mediterranean sun, followed by precious coves with sandy beaches continuing to the east.
As you wander through ancient streets and quaint squares, you'll feel the pulse of centuries gone by - whispers of the Illyrians, Greeks, Romans, and Slavic tribes, all of them contributing to this amazing tapestry we find today, while the mighty empires of Byzantium, the Ottomans, and Austro-Hungary echo through the stone walls of the cities.
Here, the warm hospitality of the locals, descendants of seafaring fishermen, olive growers, and winemakers, invites you to linger and savour the unforgettable beauty of this region, where the sea air smells sweet.
