Я там был I was there

We rested in Montenegro at the end of June 2012. The arrival was in Podgorica, from Podgorica to Igalo, where the hotel is located, about 120 km. I warn you right away, you don’t need to take a transfer from a tour operator (Neva), they asked for 220 euros round trip. On the Internet I found taxi numbers in Podgorica (Red Taxi), the fare to Igalo from Podgorica Airport was 60 euros one way (120 euros in total, the savings are obvious). While driving, we agreed with the driver on the return transfer to the airport, they called the day before and there were no problems, I arrived on time. You can call directly from the airport upon arrival, we waited for 10 minutes, fighting off the representative of the tour operator and annoying taxi drivers. The hotel is quite decent, it will compete with many fours in the same Budva. It is located in a wasteland, separate from other buildings, right by the mountain, which even pleased us, because it was calm and not noisy. To the promenade, beach and cafes 5-7 minutes walk. Not tiring, but beautiful landscapes around. There really is a cemetery, but it does not bother, because it is perceived as a cultural monument and even curious for regional studies. Near a beautiful church. From the balcony there was a view of the mountains and two football fields, where little football players constantly trained. They settled quickly, at first they gave a room without a balcony, they immediately changed it. The furniture and plumbing are new, the conder works fine (instead of a key, they inserted a regular discount card so that the conder would work even in our absence)) The food is ordinary, not very varied. You won't be left hungry. We had breakfast and dinner, dined in a cafe on the coast (by searching we found a quite worthy place called "ILIJADA", located on the embankment 15 minutes walk from the hotel, it differs from others in a marine style interior, do not miss it. The menu includes meat and seafood, various salads, etc. Enjoyed sea reptiles Lunch for two with a beer about 23-27 euros). The staff and service are decent, friendly, responsive to requests. We went to Dubrovnik on our own, found out at the reception the schedule of buses that depart from the station from Herceg Novi. The station can also be reached by bus or taxi. . Dubrovnik is a beautiful city, Croatia itself is not very (other tourists: Americans and Chinese, and completely different prices for everything, although everything is the same as in Montenegro). We took a car for a day (the office of the travel agency, where you can rent it, is directly opposite the hotel, a 2-minute walk, where the bus stop is). The price for Renault Clio is 50 euros + gasoline. We passed many cities by car (Kotor, Budva, Negushi, Cetinje). The road is mountainous, winding and narrow, sometimes breathtaking. But if you are not afraid, I advise you (by bus on an excursion, I think, it’s even worse). The brightest impressions were left by Njegusi and Cetinje. In Njegusi you can buy awesome prosciutto, wine, homemade cheese and honey. The city of Herceg Novi is nearby, you can get there by bus or walk. The old city is beautiful. In general, Montenegro is a beautiful country, the impressions are the most positive. Many people speak Russian, a lot of information is in Russian, but if you know English, then there are no problems at all, because almost everyone speaks it, even old grandmothers. Do not sit still, be more active, get an unforgettable experience (we went without children, that's why we were active))). Although there are plenty of children there, a large children's town with attractions on the promenade.
