In-Depth Information
International destinations include Dubrovnik (€10, two hours depending on time at the
border, two daily), Sarajevo (€24, seven hours, at least two daily) and Belgrade (€33, 13
hours, at least seven daily).
CAR
A torturous, often gridlocked, one-way system runs through the town, so you're best to
park in the car park opposite the bus station if you're day-tripping. In the centre of town,
street parks are divided into two zones charged at either 50c or 80c per hour, or €5 per
day; purchase tickets from newsagents or kiosks, circle the time and date, and display
them on your dashboard.

TOP OF CHAPTER
Around Herceg Novi
Herceg Novi's coastal sprawl starts at
Igalo
to the west, where the muddy silt from the sea
floor is said to have therapeutic qualities. Heading east along the bay you'll pass beach-
side communities at
Zelenika
,
Kumbor
,
Ðenovići
and
Baošići
before you reach
Bijela
with its
dockyard - the largest industrial site on the bay.
Sights
Mamula
Guarding the entrance to the bay, the circular splat of Mamula is only 200m in diameter.
It's named after the Austro-Hungarian general who in the mid-19th century created the
fort still standing on the island, which became an infamous Italian prison during WWII.
The island's a stop on one of the Kayak Montenegro day tours as well as many of the
boat tours of the bay. Otherwise it's easily reached by taxi boat, or you can hire a kayak
and paddle there in about one hour.
