Your Trip to Montenegro
Slightly smaller than Connecticut, Montenegro is living proof that great things do come in small packages. Hidden coves and paradisical beaches line the coast from top to bottom, made even more picturesque by the backdrop of limestone mountains. Alpine and lakeside villages are just as quaint today as they were 200 years ago, made all the more charming by the locals and their knack for welcoming visitors with open arms and endless food.
