Montenegro country charm with a garnished shoreline

Since Montenegro country allure is no longer reserved for the locals or people of the region who are close by either way, we can now accentuate certain points that made Montenegro into a must-see destination. The main reasons are new cruise ship tours, opening of the high-end marina and resort Porto Montenegro, as well as an intact nature.

All of this, combined with an uncluttered, and yet adorned coastline, have made the Montenegro country charm visible and desirable for people all over the world, to experience it and taste it. The unspoiled terrain and the opal blue water are an entrancing sight alone, but don’t think that changes in any way once you charge deeper into the mainland.

Splendour is no longer a stranger

Montenegro country use to be lacking a certain push for luxury lodging in the most popular cities, which left it behind it’s more elaborate neighbors, for a while. Today the situation is, thankfully, a lot different, since now five-star properties keep popping out along the glistening bay, notably the most exclusive among them being Porto Montenegro, our stunning and exclusive yacht marina.

Apart from the best berthing options in entire Montenegro country, Porto Montenegro real estate has had a real break recently, with fabulously designed apartments, that include a concierge and luxury amenities that bring you ultimate lavish lifestyle feeling. Now you definitely won’t have “where to stay in Montenegro” dilemma anymore.

If luxury is what’s moving you, in a close proximity of Porto resort is Luštica bay, a five star property that resembles Porto when it comes to its suitability, and a great thing is you can go on mini cruise along the Boka Bay and make Luštica one of the stops.

Montenegro history and tradition - the borderline between east and west

Ever since the times of the Roman Empire rule, the tiny Montenegro country has acted as an interspace – a crossover between east and west, today so obvious in its cultural heritage. The richness of historical legacy of Roman, Byzantine and Venetian times can be seen in mosaic floors of rustic Roman villas, frescoes of Orthodox monasteries, flamboyant Catholic churches, elegant mosques, not to mention numerous breathtaking fortresses along the Boka Bay, each more powerful than the next.

Montenegro country is a truly fascinating place, especially once you hear about the 50 year old communist legacy, added to the mixture of already disparate cultures and peoples.

Montenegro capital - Ribnica, Titograd, Podgorica

One of the places to visit in Montenegro, without a question, is it’s capital city of Podgorica. Its name was first officially recorded in 1326., and before that, the settlement was known as Ribnica, under the Nemanjić dynasty jurisdiction.

During the before mentioned communist period in its history, Podgorica was renamed Titograd, in honor of the Yugoslavian leader Josip Broz Tito. After his death and the fall of Yugoslavia, the capital was yet again renamed Podgorica. This back-and forth capital naming and renaming is a enough to have a good insight of the historical circumstances happening at that point.

Archaeology lovers will definitely want to come and visit Podgorica, or rather its close vicinity, since it contains the remains of the ancient Illyrian, Roman and Byzantine settlement of Doclea (Duklja). This settlement use to be an episcopal see since the late Roman period, and now is turned into a titular see, both for Orthodox and Catholic church.
