Let's hear it for Montenegro! (beach, vacation, island)

MONTENEGRO (Crna Gora) or Cyrillic: Црна Гора

Has anyone ever been here?! This is where my dad was born. I visited there just this March, and I loved it there.

I got some pictures as well.

Bar:

Petrovac:



Sveti Stefan:



Budva:

Kotor:











Cetinje (Old Capital Before Podgorica [old name: Titograd]):



There are so many more pictures that I took. But I'm interested in seeing what other people took if you've been there as well!

heh
I have some of the same pictures as you.
Montenegro is indeed a beautiful place, well worth a visit.
Ostrvo Sveti Đorđe (island of St George)

Near Sveti Stefan:

Gospa od Skrpjela (Our Lady of the Rocks)

Nice pictures! I love the picture near Sveti Stefan! And the Island as well.

I'm going this summer again, making our way up to Dubrovnik in Hrvatska, and I hope to stop at Manastir Ostrog on the way.

I was in Sutomore in 2002. A rather noisy and crowded town, with disco music playing
almost all night long (geez, my parents weren't very happy!).
I found the beaches much dirtier than in Croatia but we could only be at the wrong
place, hard to say. There were a lot of child beggars which was really sad to see.
I hope the economy there has recovered at least a bit during that six years.
The mountains are spectacular and I was quite surprised by all the green sloopes; it was
completely different than Croatia. A lot of thunderstorms, too - also uncommon during
summertime in parts of the Eastern Adriatic coast lying north of Montenegro I guess.

I noticed a lot of tall people in Montenegro; is there a genetic modification responsible for that, as I've heard recently? Or is it just an urban legend?

Yeah, I drove by there with my cousin, and he showed me the outdoor "diskoteke" and that the parties raged on all night.

The beach in the beginning of Sutomore isn't that great, so I heard, but I heard it gets better as you go up.

I didn't see any child beggars while I was there. Maybe there is some around in the summer, trying to exploit the tourists. They're just part of the culture, persuaded by their parents in that type of lifestyle. They're gypsies... "cigani". That's their lifestyle I guess.

And a lot of those tall people in Montenegro I'd think are from Serbia. Those Serbians, I swear, are like unrealistically tall. I couldn't believe it.

Indeed, I don't think it's the right spot for family vacationing but my cousin is very much
into night life and disco parties, and she did enjoy the town.
