DAY TWO – ZABLJAK – DURMITOR NATIONAL PARK

Durmitor is a stunning limestone massif located in Northern Montenegro and belongs to the Dinaric Alps or Dinarides. It is also the name of Montenegro’s largest protected area, the Durmitor National Park, which constitutes the heart of a landscape shaped by glaciers, numerous rivers, and underground streams which are embedded in the much larger Tara River Basin Biosphere Reserve. Some fifty peaks higher than 2,000 meters above sea level rise above plateaus, alpine meadows, and forests, including Bobotov Peak (2,525 meters above sea level). Numerous glacial lakes, locally known as “mountain eyes”, cover the landscape. Despite its many attractions, Durmitor is best known for the spectacular canyons of the Draga, Sušica, Komarnica, and Tara Rivers, the latter stands out as Europe’s deepest gorge. Chose one of many hiking trails, or rent a bike for this day to explore the National Park. Return to your stay in the evening for an overnight.

Set in the far southeastern corner of the inner bay, this marvelous historic town is one of the real gems of the Balkans. Boasting a network of solid fortifications, cobbled alleyways, hidden piazzas, and stunning architecture, the Old Town of Kotor is of such cultural and historical significance it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

DAY FIVE – BUDVA – ULCINJ – STARI BAR
Ulcinj claims to be the most culturally diverse city in Montenegro. It was recognized as one of the oldest settlements and the pirate capital of the Adriatic Coast. Near the Albanian border, it’s hardly surprising that more than 70% of its inhabitants are ethnically Albanian. The city also homes the biggest Muslim population percentage in the country. Ulcinj has been a historical mix of cultures and religions. It was once captured by the Romans and later became part of the Byzantine Empire before becoming part of the Republic of Venice in 1405 and the Ottoman Empire afterward. Nowadays, all churches and mosques, Montenegrins and Albanians, live together in this hilled city of 12,000 inhabitants. Ulcinj is also the location of the country’s longest white sandy beach – Velika plaza, which spans 12 kilometers. On your way back we recommend a visit to Stari Bar (Bar old town).

It’s extremely famous for its diversity of flora and fauna. Lake itself is unusual for the mutual vicinity of different living areas and their chain of feeding. This is a region besieged by the Turks for its resources, a favorite holiday destination for the former royal family of Montenegro, and the location of many of the best organic farms and wineries in the country. Bird watching, fishing, hunting, renting and riding the boat, swimming, and sunbathing are the main recreational activities around the Lake.
