Montenegro is an amazing and hospitable country.  This is an unusual combination of centuries-old historical and architectural heritage, unique culture, and picturesque nature.

Here, off the coast of Montenegro, the Adriatic Sea is the cleanest, and the water off the coast is transparent and reaches a depth of 55 meters.

The nature of Montenegro is unique.  High rocky mountains covered with centuries-old trees: cypress trees, pine trees, olives, and orange groves.  From afar, the mountains, densely covered with trees, seem dark green.  It is believed that the name came from here - Montenegro.  There are many crystal clear lakes, green hills, mountain rivers, and waterfalls.  The main advantage of Montenegro is precisely its unique and rich nature.

Montenegro has approximately 117 beaches.  The beaches on the southern coast of the country are mostly sandy or small pebbles.  Large pebble beaches and even rocky ones are also found.  But the northern part is characterized by a rocky shore, swimming is far from permitted everywhere.  In general, everyone can find a beach for themselves to their taste.  But a common feature of all the beaches of Montenegro is that the water here is the cleanest.

One of the sunniest and most popular beaches on the Montenegrin coast is Ada Boyana.  This is a sandy beach, the sand of which is healing.  Ada Boyana is an island in the shape of a triangle.  According to legend, the beach appeared at the place where the merchant ship once sank.  The sand that has accumulated on the ship and numerous rocks, and formed this island.  As already mentioned, the island is a triangle, which is washed by fresh river waters on both sides, and the third side of the island is washed by the waters of the Adriatic Sea.  The water warms up well on the coast of the island; you can swim here from the beginning of April until mid-November.  Another amazing fact is that the Boyana River flows in two directions at once, which no other river in the world can boast of.

Another popular tourist destination is the Bar.  This is a port city.  Here, almost 300 days a year is clear and sunny, and the water warms up to + 22 ° - + 23 ° already in late April - early May.  For those who besides a beach holiday seek to get acquainted with the cultural and historical heritage of Montenegro, it will be useful to visit the local historical and architectural monument - the Old Bar Fortress.  This is an open-air museum.  Another distinctive feature of this place is a unique natural monument - an olive tree 2000 years old, but the most amazing thing is that it still bears fruit abundantly.

One of the most famous resort areas of Montenegro is Budva.  This is the largest tourist center and one of the oldest cities in the country.  There are documentary, historical and architectural traces of the stay of the Phoenicians, ancient Greeks, and ancient Romans.  This is evidenced by the endless finds of archaeologists.  According to legend, the city was founded by an ancient Greek hero, whose name was Cadmo.  He was expelled from You, and with his wife named Harmony, he stayed here.  The Slavs appeared in these places much later, their first settlements appeared around the 7th century A.D.

The main wealth of Budva is the old city that arose here in the Renaissance.  The city is surrounded by a powerful fortress wall.  There are a lot of unique attractions with architectural, natural, historical, and cultural heritage.  The Citadel, the Church of St. Mary, the Church of the Holy Trinity, and the Church of St. Ivan will not leave anyone indifferent.
