WHEN AND WHERE WILL WE START?

The tour starts at 8:00 am close to the old town of Kotor. The next pick-up is in the city of Budva close to the old town. From Kotor to Budva is only a 25 km distance. In the off-season, we need 25 minutes of the ride between the cities, but in very high season we need 45 minutes which is written in our itinerary. If guests take the private tour we will pick up them from their accommodations. Also, if guests stay in some accommodation close to our route (for example guests from Petrovac), we can pick them up on the main road. Pick-up location can be flexible sometimes if suits guest better than the standard one.

WHERE WE WILL GO?

We will go to the Port of Bar, the Church of St. Jovan Vladimir in Bar, the old town of Bar, Mosque Selimija in Bar, The Old Olive Tree, Valdanos, The Old Town of Ulcinj, and the Grand Beach in Ulcinj.

CITY OF BAR

m City of Bar After a couple of minutes of driving from Budva, we will make a photo-stop above the island of Sv. Stefan, well known as a pearl of the Montenegrin coast, and then we will continue along the coastline enjoying the view of beautiful beaches and places that belong to the Municipality of Budva, such as Rezevici and Petrovac. After an hour's drive, we will reach the city of Bar, which has the largest port and marina in Montenegro. We will see a beautiful promenade with its beach and where former King Nikola's summer mansion is located. The port of Bar is not overloaded with large cargo, ferry, or cruise ships. Many restaurants and bars on the beach give a special charm to the port and make it very touristy.

On the opposite side of King Nikola's palace and its small royal park, we will see the largest Orthodox church in Montenegro named the Church of John Vladimir which has been open since 2016. The church has seven magnificent bronze doors with unique decors. The interior of the church is as impressive as the exterior with traditional frescoes decorated on the ceiling and walls. The frescoes describe scenes from the Bible and figures of Orthodox saints made by masters from Montenegro, Serbia, Russia, and Greece (a total of 4,860 square meters of works of art). After visiting the church we will continue to the old town of Bar.

THE OLD TOWN OF BAR

The Old Town of Bar has positioned on a hill Londša 5km from the sea and has no inhabitants. The hill encircled by the walled town was settled in prehistoric and Illyrian times but was abandoned during the Roman era when it was moved to the coast, to the same location where modern Bar stands today.

During its rich history, the old town of Bar had over 1000 inhabitants, but unfortunately, it was destroyed in a major weapons explosion in 1912. The ruins of the city are well preserved, which attracts a large number of tourists. In the old town of Bar, you can see Roman waterworks, a Turkish bath, an Orthodox church, Venetian palaces, a Turkish clock tower, a Catholic church, and a diocese in one place. Every ruling empire and culture has left its mark in this old city. Walking around the old town lasts up to one hour.

SELIMIYA MOSQUE AND ISLAMIC CULTURAL CENTER BAR (SELIMIJA DŽAMIJA I ISLAMSKI KULTURNI CENTAR U BARU)

Only 2 kilometers from the old town of Bar is the largest mosque in Montenegro named Selimija with The Islamic Cultural Center in Bar, which has been open since 2004. The center has a capacity for 2000 believers and visitors, classrooms, a kindergarten with a playground, the library, the research center, the restaurant with oriental cuisine, the simultaneous translation room, the guest apartments, the sports and congress hall, and many other dedicated rooms. We will visit the interior of the mosque. Ladies will find suitable clothes that they can cover themselves to be able to get inside.

THE OLD OLIVE TREE

The next stop will be the Old Olive, which is a mile away, near the main road. The Old Olive Tree has more than 2 millennia and is one of the oldest olive trees in Europe. The tree is protected by Montenegro as a natural treasure that still yields olives as a symbol of the southern region. We will make a photo-stop and continue towards Ulcinj celebrating olives and passing by the largest olive forest in Montenegro.

VALDANOS (THE OLIVE FOREST)

m montenegro hostel photo valdanos 004 001

The inhabitants of Bar and Ulcinj have traditionally been engaged in the production of olive oil. That is why this area is known for the largest olive forest in Montenegro named Valdanos with more than 18,000 olive trees. One part was planted by the Romans, which makes the old Roman rules still exist, where olives belong to the owners of the trees, not the owners of the land. Visitors can pass by the land of different owners and no one will stop them. Valdanos is a large region with a beautiful bay and beach, above where is a view-point. After the photo-stop, we will continue to the town of Ulcinj, which is only 5 km far away from the forest.

THE OLD TOWN OF ULCINJ

Ulcinj is the southernmost town on the Montenegrin coast with distinctive oriental tastes and feelings, partly due to the long Ottoman presence (from 1571 to 1878), and more due to the fact that this is the only coastal town with a majority of Muslim Albanians. Albanian's language is the first language here, and most of the signs are bilingual. The old town of Ulcinj is located on top of a cliff above the sea near the Small Beach.

m montenegro hostel photo goca 008 001 The town was captured by Uluz-Ali, an Algerian pirate in 1580. His rule began a period of more than a century in which Ulcinj was the dreaded seat of pirates, who with their light vessels attacked Venetian, Christian, and Turkish ships in the Adriatic. The pirates were known far and wide, acquired vast wealth in valuables, especially from slave trading.

It is speculated that the famed Spanish writer Cervantes was sold as a slave to Algerians in Ulcinj when he fell captive. This era was ended in 1737 after the Sultan banned corsairs in the Adriatic and destroyed their fleet. That pirate's image is still very popular in Ulcinj and gives him a special charm. We will visit the old town for up to an hour and then we will go to Grand Beach for a deserved lunch break.

GRAND BEACH (VELIKA PLAŽA)

m Grand Beach Ulcinj

The road to the beach leads across the Milena Canal (named after King Nikola’s wife) leading to the vast Ulcinj saltpans. Guests can see kalimere, traditional fishing devices with the net on the ends of the long poles designed to catch fish. From this point, the long Great Beach (Velika plaža) stretches, with a length of 14 km of fine gray sand as the largest beach in Montenegro. This is the ideal place for a first-class experience at the end of this tour. Guests can enjoy the extraordinary dishes, especially fish because restaurants often have equally represented sea fish as well as fish from Lake Skadar as well as fish from Bojana River (the southernmost river in Montenegro).

m Big Beach Ulcinj

Guests who do not want to have lunch can enjoy swimming in the sea or simply sunbathing while enjoying the sound of the waves. So relaxed and full of new experiences, we will return to Budva and Kotor.
