The untouched country.

Montenegro is one of Europe’s hidden secrets. On a visit to Montenegro you could be having coffee on one of the numerous beaches of the Budva Riviera, eating lunch with the song of the birds on Skardar Lake or exploring one of its picturesque rural villages.

Montenegro has a lot to offer and is often referred to as the "Hidden Pearl of the Mediterranean".
