    Your Guided Group Holiday To Montenegro 

    Discover the beautiful coastline and countryside of Montenegro with us on this 7-night holiday. Located just south of Dubrovnik, this Adriatic gem offers numerous sandy beaches, forest-cloaked mountains, crystal-clear lakes, as well as centuries-old towns with influences ranging from Venetian to Ottoman. We’ll stay at a gorgeous beachside resort in Becici, just 3km from the historical coastal town of Budva. From here, we will be ideally placed to explore the beautiful walled city of Budva, tour the old royal capital of Cetinje, and take a boat trip around the breathtaking Boka Bay to visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Kotor. This holiday also includes plenty of free time, so you’ll be able to enjoy the aquamarine seas, charming local attractions and regional delicacies of this little-known Balkan treasure.
