Montenegro or Croatia
Hello, please take a look. We want to go to Montenegro or Croatia for a honeymoon in August. We heard that Montenegro will cost less, I liked the description of the Ulcinj Riviera, but they write that there are only Albanians and it’s better for Russians not to go there, is this true?
In general, we would like to have a nice clean beach without crowds of people and nature, so that we could go for a walk, preferably in the mountains)
We want to go for 20-25 days, the budget is about 1000 euros per person.
Please advise which country is better to choose and a specific place.
And also tell me where you can find ads about the private sector in these countries in order to book in advance and find out about prices!
Many thanks to all who responded!

Definitely Croatia, the service is better there, there are more sights, the sea is fabulous for good reason, almost all Croatian beaches have a blue flag. And Montenegro, for me, is Crimea and no more (again, this is my personal opinion)

I support, I heard the same thing from my parents
Compared to Croatia, Montenegro is a well-groomed, with friendly people, but still a collective farm
But it's up to you, of course.
In general, I recommend looking at ads like "I rent a villa in Croatia"
You can find a really nice villa and very inexpensive

"You can find a really nice villa and very inexpensive"
Everything "decent inexpensive" on the Internet has already been filmed in winter :))) It is real and profitable to find a villa or apartment for 5-6 people. For two, it's a problem.
P.S. I am also for Croatia.

Only a person who has been there and there can answer your question. I definitely like Montenegro more !!! The beaches there are pebbly, the nature is more beautiful than in Croatia and the prices are a little cheaper. And the biggest minus of Croatia is the cement beaches and the descent into the water along the iron ladder. My personal view on all this. In any case, I recommend going to Montenegro from there, take an excursion to Croatia and if you like Croatia, the next vacation will be wonderfully planned. Good luck.

And I liked Montenegro, and the beaches there are also marked with the Flag. It’s definitely cheaper and the Yugoslavs themselves say that Montenegro is better. You need to go in September, there will be fewer people and prices will drop. All locals advise June and September. .We lived in Villa Ivona, located in the center of Budva, near the market, supermarket, pharmacy, tour desk. E-mail [email protected]

Yin and Yang. Croatia is higher in terms of service and attractions (beautiful old cities, Plitvice Lakes for example), while Montenegro is cheaper and the beaches are better. Find a nice villa near the island of Sveti Stefan (10 minutes from Budva) and have a great vacation!

I was only in Montenegro, but fell in love with this country forever. Then I looked at a photo from Croatia - according to the photo, Croatia is worse, there are somehow islands, there are no mountains. There are mountains in Montenegro! This creates simply amazing beauty of natural views! Clean Air! Tap water from mountain springs! We had a sea of excursions - you can go to the same Croatia, but I would recommend a sightseeing tour along the coast, Kotor, Bar - the old town, Cetinje - a city very high in the mountains and there is a monastery there - it's like excursions. And it's better to live in Budva - there are a lot of entertainments and to St. Stephen's island (there is the most beautiful beach) 10 minutes by bus and take a walk in the park, listen to the cockades :)
Well, one more plus - the people are friendly, and the prices are very reasonable for everything. 2 weeks was not enough for me in Montenegro :) And by the way, about Ulcinj - I would not recommend it - it's far from civilization - all excursions from Budva start (although of course they will come to Ulcinj for you) and there is no entertainment there. And you yourself say Albania is close. We had excursions to Albania, I did not go, but those who traveled did not like it.
Well, and in addition - in our group there were newlyweds - we went on all the excursions, we were very satisfied :) In general, I am for Montenegro :)

Damn, people ... What are you talking about? "There are no mountains, no beaches, but actually I have not been there, but I heard and looked at pictures ..." There are simply no words.
Croatia is more expensive, it's true, but there are mountains and good beaches!
I am not campaigning against Montenegro. I just want objectivity, not information like "one grandmother said."

I rested in Montenegro in the city of Petrovac, at the Villa Oliva hotel. The beach (small pebbles) is municipal and paid equipment, walk 100m - the beach is concrete. beach. And do not be afraid of the wording "2nd line" in such small towns, if you like to walk after breakfast for 5-10 minutes. About Ulcinj, just an excursion. There were no "crowds", but not deserted either ... In Croatia, it's more expensive, I agree.

I advise Montenegro, Budva. There is a beautiful old town, excellent beaches, many excursions and cheaper than in Croatia. In general, some travel agencies offer combined tours - CroatiaMontenegro 77 or 55 days. During one vacation you will have a rest in two countries!

Thanks everyone for the replies!
Tell me, will there be any problems with food if we rent a villa?
Can you tell me where you can find information about villas and the private sector in Montenegro in general (probably, this year we won’t pull Croatia financially, so without intermediaries?

Everyone basically takes villas without meals, there are many restaurants where you can order breakfast, lunch / dinner or eat in different restaurants, which you like, but the complex is cheaper (10 euros per day), if separately, the fish costs about 7 euros, salad-4, tea -1, coffee-1

Were with a friend in Croatia, in the city of Porec (Northern Dalmatia). And imagine falling in love with this country :-))) Coniferous forest, turquoise water, air - you can't breathe. The hotel was located (by the way, "Valamar Kristal 3* is highly recommended, look at the reviews) 20 minutes from the city. The town looks like a little Prague, everything is civilized, stylish shops, small restaurants, so cozy, the cuisine is incomparable - grilled squids are just super, everything is delicious, the portions are huge. We also got to the city carnival. The guide said not to be afraid to walk in the evening, because it is safe. It's true - they returned to the hotel at one in the morning. There are few Russians in Porec, Ukrainians, unlike Montenegro. There "Mostly Austrians have a rest. We went on an excursion to Plitvice Lakes - it's a paradise!!! I have never seen such a virgin nature!!!! They say that it is very beautiful in Dubrovnik - but the rest will be more expensive there. From Poreč there is an excursion to Italy, but if you have a Schengen. I will definitely come back to Croatia! But I will also go to Montenegro in September, then I will have something to compare with. But, definitely, you need to go to Croatia.

I strongly advise you Croatia, but rent a yacht. As for a honeymoon, the impressions are simply unforgettable, we just returned from there (it was also a honeymoon). Before Croatia were 5 days in Montenegro, as the tickets were through Tivat. Montenegro, namely Budva, is not suitable for a beach holiday. The sea is cold in July. Budva is like a seal rookery on the beach. In Montenegro, only mountains are beautiful. I have never seen such beautiful ones, but you can only see them if you go on an excursion. Rest on a yacht is a fairy tale, you can stop when and where you want, stop on the island you like and see the medieval city. And it will not be so much more expensive, just rest on the beach, but there are many opportunities.

I read the previous reviews, as a person who visited both there and there almost at the same time: There are many more attractions in Croatia, but the truth is they are scattered over the islands (Dubrovnik, Korcula, Hvar is what we visited). In Montenegro, of the castles, only Kotor, which is tiny and mountains (this is a big plus). Regarding the beaches: there are also pebble beaches in Croatia (take the town of Bol for example)

As for prices, they are almost the same. I don’t know housing. But Montenegro is a really improved version of the Crimea (namely Budva). In Croatia, everything is focused on tourism and therefore the level of service is higher.
