KOTOR

Overnight next to the lake behind the walls of the picturesque fortified town. The old Mediterranean port of Kotor is located in a secluded part of the Gulf of Kotor and it is surrounded by fortifications built during the Venetian period. Together with the nearly overhanging limestone...

HERCEG NOVI

Herceg Novi is a coastal town in Montenegro located at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor and at the foot of Mount Orjen. It’s probably the most pleasant city on the Adriatic coast, still with traditional slow Montenegrin lifestyle. We spent a really hot day here climbing hundreds of stairs...

KUPARI

We stopped at Kupari for another lazy day at a strange beach surrounded by ghost buildings. Officially it was the Kupari Tourist Complex – a disused military tourist resort built for the elite of the Yugoslav army. In the 1960s a resort on a sandy bay was constructed, including five...

DUBROVNIK

After rush Bosnia and Herzegovina trip, we had two lazy days on the Adriatic coast. We also did not forget to make sightseeing in this limestone city with good nightlife and a relaxed atmosphere. The prosperity of the city was historically based on maritime trade; as the capital of the...

ON THE ROAD

Last few pictures of Bosnia and Herzegovina (on the way to Croatia), we have really enjoyed our tour, people were very friendly, the roads were in a good condition and we had nice weather. We can only recommend the visit of this hidden gem in Balkan.

KRAVICA

We arrived late afternoon tired and frustrated (after searching the Cross Mountain in Medjugorje). But few mugs of Nektar beer, while watching these excellent waterfalls, recovered our minds. Its place, where the Trebižat River plummets in a broad 25m-high arc into an emerald pool. In...

MEDJUGORJE

Another stop on the way to Kravica was Medjugorje. We spent two hours finding the way to famous cross on the top of the mountain, but we did not find it. We saw the cross, but the way was so badly marked, that we got lost few times. Also google maps had wrong directions. Medjugorje has...
