Neighbouring Croatia, small Montenegro lies on the Balkan Peninsula. This charming country more than makes up for its size with its astonishing diversity. A land of rugged, snow-capped mountains, ancient forests and pristine beaches kissed by emerald seas, where ancient monasteries cling to rocky cliffs and imposing stone churches speak of centuries past. Its capital and largest city is Podgorica, while Cetinje is designated as the old royal capital and the former seat of the throne.
The southern coast has over 20 miles of golden sand and warm blue sea, sharply contrasting with the imposing mountains of the north, and making it possible to swim in the morning and ski in the afternoon. Located along one of Montenegro's most beautiful bays, the city of Kotor's magnificent medieval architecture and famous monuments have resulted in a listing by UNESCO. One such monument is the Cathedral of St. Tryphon, a remarkable legacy of Roman culture and the oldest of its kind on this side of the Adriatic. The Old Town of Budva is over two millennia old dating back to the 5th century BC. The town, picturesque and charming, sits upon a small peninsula and is a repository of cultural heritage.

Guest Testimonial
I tracked the Susa group which is the one I really wanted to see - it was almost as if gorillas were tumbling out of every bush, shrub and even at times they seemed to fall from the sky.
