Montenegro is known for its "wild beauty" - imagine a holiday in the very heart of that wild beauty - the Ulcinj South Coast. Our walking holidays and vacations in Montenegro's South Coast include some of Montenegro's most stunning and varied terrain - shores of lakes, rivers, and beaches, foothills and mountains, pastures, and the ruins and living towns more than 2,000 years old. Our holidays can be self-guided or led by a group leader.
Our 7-day walking holidays and vacations include restaurant meals, or box lunches on some walks, and of course, first-class accomodations at Hotel Mediteran Ulcinj. The tour is organized for groups of five to ten people, or more, but can also be organized for a couple, even a single traveler. Guest have the option of bed & breakfast or half-board meal plans.
Best of all, your base camp for this great adventure is historic Ulcinj, one of the oldest settlements in the Adriatic - Ulcinj history is steeped in the culture of the Roman, Viennese, Turk, and pirate conquerors who have occupied Ulcinj at one time or another.
Sample "Walking Holiday" Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival in Montenegro, and transfer to Hotel Mediteran Ulcinj. Dinner at Hotel Mediteran.
Day 2
Montenegro's famed Velika Plaza or "long beach," is a protected environmental area and can be walked in its entirety. Some prefer to walk just inland to enjoy the wildlife. Time enjoying the sun at the beach included. A late lunch at one of the river-meets-the-sea "always fresh" seafood restaurants along the river at Ada Bojana. Dinner at Hotel Mediteran.
Day 3
Cetinje and Mount Lovcen - easy day trips from Hotel Mediteran Ulcinj include these wonders. A hike to the top of Mount Lovcen to enjoy the views there, is particularly special. Frankly, the drive into Kotor is a day trip - a 3 hour drive, and Budva much less. The Montenegrin coast is relatively convenient for those wanting to "see it all."
Day 4
At Valdanos Bay is Montenegro's largest olive groves. A visit any time is beautiful, but in November and December are the harvests, and walking among the harvest activities, and picnics are truly charming experiences. The walk includes time at Valdanos Bay beach, another of the great beaches in Montenegro's Ulcinj South Coast region. A picnic lunch of Montenegrin cuisine the famous olive groves of Valdanos. Dinner at Hotel Mediteran.
Stari Grad Ulcinj and Bar -- If your visitors like stories of the Romans, Turks, Viennese, and pirates that founded this region, and the ghosts that remain, there are late night walks that offer a different feeling altogether. Sabbatia Zevi spent his last days in Ulcinj, and Miguel de Cervantes was imprisoned here gathering his inspiration for Don Quixote and the women he loved - whom he named after Ulcinj's former name.
Day 5
Skadar Lake attracts superlatives but suffice it to say that it is most often compared to the Loch Ness region of Scotland. It can be experienced from the shoreline, from its waters, from its surrounding hillsides and mountains, or from the air. The fishing here at Lake Skadar and throughout the South Coast is terrific, whether lake, river, or sea, is preferred.
Dinner at Hotel Mediteran
Day 6
Pine Forest Walk -- Few outsiders are aware that Ulcinj is known among locals as one large natural spa. The Pine Forest that stretches from just south of Stari Grad Ulcinj, down to Velika Plaza, is know for the recuperative resins floating in the air - many sleep here outside in the summer, for various cures. Ladies Beach, along the way, is well known to Ulcinjer's for boosting women's fertility with its unique sulpher spring fed waters. And of course, Velika's sands are know to have a minor natural radioactivity, that boosts circulation. And the walk itself, along coastal pine forest trails, is great for the spirits.
Dinner at Hotel Mediteran.
