As Montenegro was a country that I always wanted to visit, for it seemed to be less well-known than some of the other Balkan states, I decided to join a week-long Travel Department tour of the country in April of this year (2025). I wasn’t disappointed; Budva, where we stayed, proved to be a very pleasant seaside resort, and we went on several tours, taking dramatic scenic routes, to the former capital Cetinje, to stunning Kotor and Kotor Bay, and even made a quick day tour to Albania! The photo above is of the famous island of Sveti Stefan, near Budva. You can now read the first chapter of ‘Montenegro: A Land of Contrasts’ here on Tripsandtravelogues; the second and last chapter will appear next Monday, 7 July, 2025. Enjoy!
