The ultimate blog for all travelers alike. A 12 week trip around the world visiting the most exciting and secret places that are normally unseen by the mundane.
Never heard of it? Now you have. Montenegro is a country! Sandwiched between Albania, Serbia, and Bosnia, this small country in Europe has a lot to show. We begin this trip by visiting the coast of Montenegro. A helpful tip when visiting this amazing place: the main attractions are at the coast, so be sure to visit it! Montenegro's southern side faces the Adriatic Sea, which creates a beautiful host of distinct venues that are definitely worthy of visiting. First, we venture to the Ostrog Monastery, the great church visited by hundreds every day. This monastery was carved and built into a cliff 900 meters above sea level, overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Regardless of your Religion or beliefs, this is a sight you cannot miss. Its beauty causes you to feel synced with the Montenegrins. Even by watching the short YouTube video below, you can experience the vibes; do not hesitate to check it out.
After the great Ostrog Monastery, we visit the Peninsula of Saint Stephen (known to the locals as Peninsula Sveti Stefan). Before you go and look up Peninsula, it is a strip of land that is connected to the main land but it is projected further into an ocean or sea. There is a fascinating story that comes along with Saint Stephen. It is said that a local family with the name of Pastrovici once built this entire peninsula. The interesting part is that they built it using the gold and treasure that they raided from the Turkish. Though this was in the 15th Century, the Saint Stephen Peninsula is an even greater treasure now. It encompasses a range of Villas and apartments that have a spectacular view of the beach and skyline. The beaches on the bridge connecting the land mass is a reddish color that is perfect for spending a relaxing moment.
For the extreme adventurists, Montenegro is filled with national parks comprising lakes, forests, rivers, canyons, and mountains to explore at your will. For others, 240 sunny days a year will create the most peaceful beach time you will ever spend. For everyone, old structures made of bricks and stones tie it all together. Be sure to include Montenegro in your list of upcoming vacations!
