Myths and Legends of Ulcinj Montenegro's South Coast

The Ulcinj South Coast region of Montenegro is rich with a "living history" of Roman occupation, Illyrian tribes, World War II battles, imprisonment of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, and a long period as a shipbuilding center and pirate haven of the Mediterranean.

The ghosts of this rich past linger in the coastal towns of Ulcinj, Bar, Budva, and Herceg-Novi, as well as in the ruins at Shas, Shkodra, Stari Grad Ulcinj, and in this hills, forests, and mountains of the region. The largely indigenous population of this region, particularly in the South Coast of Montenegro, has kept the oral history alive, the stories, the myths, the legends, and the living spirit of a proud past.

Other ancient cities accessible from the Ulcinj South Coast region of Montenegro include Cetinje, Stari Bar, Shkodra, Kotor, and Herceg-Novi, as well as Bari (Italy) by ferry ride.
