Cons:

Everyone smokes a lot and everywhere. Mothers next to children, on the beaches, on the street, in cafes. There are no restrictions on this. Therefore, it will be difficult for non-smokers. The air is magically fragrant, you are lying on a sunbed, and next to it, a grandmother smokes one by one...

Meat country, not for vegetarians. Vegans need to take a room with a kitchen and cook for themselves, then it will be fine. In cafes, there is a transfer of meat and fish, and they are served immediately with a side dish. Separately, there is either no garnish or there is little where there is. We ate vegetarian pizza, found tomato soup and pasta with cheese. But you won't sit on it for long. and it’s expensive to eat every day in cafes, a check from 10 euros. Cheese puffs, actually with cottage cheese. Even if it says cheese-spinach. And there is one dough.

Montenegrins are relaxed, and sometimes they serve you as if they are doing you a favor. In general, they do not worry and do not strain to somehow improve your stay with them.

All excursions are full day trips.

And it is very tiring by the end of the day and porridge in my head. They fit several cities, several canyons and lakes in one excursion. And everywhere you are given 30-40 minutes, during which you stand in line for the toilet for 10 minutes, queue for a photo, drink tea and run to the bus. About enjoying the moment and bypassing the lake, for example, is out of the question. I would say this is a sightseeing tour, like we showed you what we have, and if you like it, take a car and go wherever you want, at least for the whole day.

On free beaches, there are only cigarette butts mixed with pebbles.

Homemade wine tasteless, bitter.

I did not like the homemade olive oil, neither the smell nor the taste. We were advised and we bought Italian in the market for gifts)))

Pros:

The purest transparent turquoise sea.

Beautiful nature. Here you have the sea and the mountains. 3 climate zones. Tired of the sea, take an excursion to the mountains, there are from 10 to 20 degrees. Canyons of unimaginable beauty, lakes.

Pure fragrant coniferous air.

Delicious sweet fruits.

Many viewing platforms.

In Montenegro, it is forbidden to completely pay beaches, so on any coast there is a paid zone and it is always free. On paid ones, it is naturally clean and often small pebbles or just as small as sand.

The ability to freely walk along the coast in any direction. There are no fences etc. We walked from our coast to the next four.

September has a great rest, not as hot as in summer, 30 degrees, the sea is warm, there are fewer and fewer people every day. In the summer they say there is nowhere for an apple to fall.

Compare the excursions offered by your representative and those sold on the waterfront. On the waterfront, much cheaper. We were offered by our representative, we compared, and did not see how they differ, except that somewhere lunch is included in the price.

But even in the one on the coast, they will collect 7 euros from you, and they will order a complete lunch. And yet, when ordering a tour, ask how many languages there will be, and ask to enroll you only in a Russian-speaking group. We got on one full day tour with three languages: Serbian, English and Russian.... and it's hard. Excursions from 15 euros to 50. Rafting on the Tara River in the canyon costs 50 in September. In summer, everything is 10 euros more expensive. We went to the Bay of Kotor 12 euros, and canyons 18 euros. I see no reason to go to Skadar Lake, we passed it when we went to the canyons, and those who went told us, it seems to cost 20, you will be brought to the lake and you will look, there is nowhere to go there, you can take a boat, but they are not cheap . We had 2 excursions and walking independent walks. They also wanted to go rafting, but got sick.

It’s better to stock up on money for sunbeds with an umbrella, because it’s cleaner and less crowded (well, in September it was paradise there, on some 3 sunbeds are occupied, where it’s more expensive, and where it’s cheaper, everything is packed) Prices in September are from 4 to 30 euro for a set of 2 sun loungers and an umbrella (Becici), more often 10-15 euros. In Sveti Stefan, of course, there are 120 euros))))

They have the island of St. Nicholas, and they take it there for 3-5 euros to Hawaii beach)))) it is no different from their usual beaches))) On the one hand, you have a view of Budva, where the sea is warm and small pebbles like sand. On the other side, the sea to the horizon and rocks on the sides, and there are large pebbles and large stones, and the sea is cool. I don't see the point in going there. There is one cafe in which everything is more expensive and everything is meat. There is pasta with cheese and Greek, it's for vegans.

When booking a room, ask for a real photo of the room and a view from the window. Since they often have a view from the room to the next wall.

They build very densely and there are no pliging territories near the villas for a frequent. The hotels have an adjacent territory and gardens and flowers, they have a beautiful place, they take care of it. And the owners of the villas have such a feeling that they don’t care about anything at all...

Nature is beautiful, the sea is clean and beautiful in color. Rest time should be chosen when there are fewer people.
