Adriatic Coast
Why Go?
The juxtaposition of mountains and sea sends the spirit soaring here. Croatia may hog
most of the Adriatic coast but Montenegro's tiny section packs a lot into a very small area.
Without the buffer of Croatia's islands, more of Montenegro's shoreline has developed in-
to sandy beaches, culminating in a 12km continuous stretch leading to the Albanian bor-
der.
Living on the fault line between civilisations, the people of the coast have fortified their
settlements since ancient times. That legacy can be explored in the lively bars and shops of
Budva's Old Town, the surreal glamour of Sveti Stefan's village resort, the ramshackle
residences within Ulcinj's fortifications and, most evocatively, the lonely and mysterious
ruins of Haj-Nehaj, Stari Bar and Svač. Otherwise just spend your days lazing beside
azure waters and supping the local vino in outdoor cafes between the oleanders.
