Montenegro, the pearl of the Mediterranean, country unique in many ways, is situated in the south of the Adriatic. Bordered by the clear sea, covered with white rocks, sunlit by the Mediterranean sun, Montenegro is one of the last European oases where you can escape from the dynamic rhythm of civilization and relax by the sound of the waves or mountain winds and feel the intoxicating scents of picturesque vegetation. Nowhere else can you find so much natural wealth, beauty, mild beaches, clear lakes, fast rivers, and gorgeous mountains in such a compact area as in Montenegro.

Montenegro cannot leave you indifferent.
