Montenegro - European Crimea
On the Montenegrin coast of the Adriatic Sea, you must definitely go at least once. Once is enough. And so that once is enough, it is better to go for ten to fifteen days.
It should be remembered that holidays in Montenegro involve activity - lying on the beach and swimming is more pleasant and much cheaper in Turkey or Egypt.
The mountains resemble the Carpathians, only higher. Coastal settlements resemble the Crimean ones; with one exception. In Crimea, the locals live like it’s the last time – today I’ll earn money, and at least the grass won’t grow there.
After independence, Montenegro abandoned the dinars, and now the only money is the euro. The dollar is exchanged at the rate of $1 = plus or minus €0.75.
The main housing stock is a private sector with small rooms. Each room, as a rule, has a refrigerator, air conditioning, TV, toilet, shower with a boiler (you just need to turn it on in advance so that the water heats up). The price for such rooms is 12-18 € per person.
A complex lunch, or menu, (salad, first, second) in restaurants costs 3-4 €. The portions are large - one menu is enough for two. Most main courses are quite spicy, so you need to buy beer or juice for dinner. In a supermarket, 2 liters of local beer costs 1.4 €, and in cafe-restaurants - from 1 € per bottle. You can bring drinks with you - no one has ever objected. Dinner for two (a seafood dish with beer) in a restaurant is well within 15-20 €.
The language is clear enough. Knowing Ukrainian and Russian, it is quite possible to communicate with the locals. In addition to Slavic languages, English and Italian can be spoken here; if you're lucky - in French and German.
ISIC is discounted only in museums, and even then not in all; entrance 1-3 €.
You don't have to buy a bus travel card - I used a postcard for 30 euro cents. It makes sense to purchase a card if you travel around the country by car. There are enough signs, and directions to historical places are highlighted in brown.
