Montenegro

Reviewed the topic of Montenegro and did not see or did not see the story of the north of the country. South also did not pass over.
Total 81 one picture, please do not break.

When the question arose about where to go on vacation, think for a while, looked at reviews online, photos, and chose Montenegro. A big plus is that the visa for this country is not needed.

Decided to go in September. At this time, less people, less than the price, do not fry sun. Tickets bought at the last moment because of my stupidity and sluggishness in dealing with organizational matters, so get more expensive than it could be. Hotel rooms booked for the week and a half before the trip. There's plenty of cheap housing, can get away with 500 rubles per person per day, and thus the living conditions will be quite comfortable.

Our route was made in such a way that in 2 weeks time to see the coast of the country, rest on it, and then a couple of days a breath of cold in the north.

I myself am from Nizhny Novgorod, so to get to your destination first train had to go to Moscow, and from there was a direct flight to Podgorica. By the way, I flew for the first time in my life, flew 3 hours around all the people did not like grumbling, complaining about service ... But I do not care somehow, I do not choosy.





In Podgorica airport we were met by a taxi which we ordered in advance. In general, in Montenegro, order a taxi exclusively from official, bombed better get round, get ripped off, as in any country other. Official taxis - RED Taxi, Alo Taxi and others. With public transport problems in the country, buses run frequently only on the coast, and it is not at all interesting places to visit. As a result, taxi ride, we ate a decent amount of money, and therefore the next time we take a car to rent, and everything else that we recommend. If there are outdoor enthusiasts, it is possible to rent bicycles, the benefit of the majority of the towns on the coast are not far from each other, in the north of the same.



In Podgorica, stayed at the hotel Europe, which is located next to the train \ d and the bus station. Were satisfied with the hotel, delicious breakfast, good service. It has a window overlooking the mountains.

After breakfast we packed up and went to the bus station, which went to Kotor. By the way, the schedule commuter buses and trains Podgorica, Bar, Budva and Kotor coincided with that found on the Internet.

Of which, again, on the bus to Prcanj (although then back to who walked on foot rather general Prchan whose district than an independent town), there have already been booked "apartments on the second line of the sea" (1 minute walk). Where there are no beaches as such, all swimming off the dock. We stayed in 2 days, what greatly regret: the sea water is wonderful, clean, warm, no waves, as



Very beautiful church on the beach in Prcanj

6. What is in the fjord of Boka Bay. The city is very beautiful. Houses along the beach and attract the eye, the story there at every step, and even the mountains themselves from all sides are fascinating in its diversity, so we moved only by foot. Which is divided into the old town and the new, the new has a good sand and pebble beach, shopping centers, and so on trifles. Kotor Old Town is small enough, but getting lost in the maze of small streets it is very simple, in fact for the sake of the old town we came here, every house, every stone in the pavement you can open the way to the distant past.

8. From the old town you can climb to the fortress, which is what we decided to do. Pass up an extra charge. Go better in the morning, otherwise the sun will kill you. Highly recommend to stock up on drinking water, because the higher you climb, the more expensive it will cost you a bottle of water.

12. Somewhere near the end of lifting a small slope leading to the walls of the fortress, there are the ruins of some of the village and the church stands. Tourists do not go down there, no passage is marked, all the arrows are going up, but if you want something original, you should climb up there in the ruins.

14. That's the top, waving flag ... do not understand how in his time here climbed guards or other men in armor. It is necessary to put a shower at the end of the path, and then later to wash somehow unpleasant.

18. After which our path lay in the bar, and we went there again on the bus. Stayed at the apartments in Susanj, again everything is cheap and very comfortable at our disposal was the whole attic, take the couch and go to sleep in the open air, the buzz. Those who love the quiet and relaxing holiday, I recommend. In addition, providing easy access to other cities in Montenegro, 1-2 hour drive up to a maximum of most of them. Not far from our house was a wild beach with steep banks, which were dotted with pine trees. Since the area of ​​Bar is surrounded by greenery, the bulk of which is softwood, it creates a very favorable air, which is very useful to us in the medical people, and for any other purpose.
We lived in Bar (as it sounds, huh?) Week or more. There is a market, but for those who want to have time to buy cheaper need to run there in the early morning hours to 8, then all dealers are buying. Shops, though not normal, of rags not even dream.

First we visited the Old Bar, a stronghold of olives.



19. wine careful, a lot of things out there that you want to buy is on sale in shops in town cheaper times 3. Homemade wine in Montenegro in general, and in particular in Bar tasty enough, but not particularly surprised, actually like their beer, but highly alcoholic beverages caused excitement among the people with whom we brought them as a souvenir.
The historic old town was destroyed, leaving only some whole building had an unenviable fate. Around the ruins grew big enough private sector (by the way new Baru also at one time very unlucky, it very much stir earthquake).

26. Then the way wild animals nars and bite your yayki.



27. In one of the souvenir shops woman invites us to go upstairs. It turned out on the roof of her she built a small garden, statues, fountains, and a magnificent view opens. Let saliva.



28. Bare well get people of different faiths, migrants are very few.



29. On the streets they have a wonderful musician, I think it knows all the locals have heard it several times. Sorry been stupid and have not removed the video, he sings beautifully. And he sang on a wild beach in Susanj coolest brasserie (bar Bar, gygy), sunbathing under his voice and music.



30.



31. YES! just a sea of ​​sea urchins! gently with them.

From the bar went to great beach at Ulcinj Ulcinj in itself is not out of town, just catch a glimpse of the city and it is because the taxi driver misunderstood what I said to him on his remarkable Russian. Russian language they understand, but not very good, we fully understand them too.

On the beach look almost nothing, it is easy to burn out due to good wind, which creates a sensation of coolness at first, and then feeling burnt ass. The flat sandy beach that is hard to find in Montenegro, a small entry into the sea. We did not see the depth of the waist high. 100 meters from the shore passed on already flying scooter and other vermin. In Ulcinj many Muslims, do not worry, they do not bite here.

33. More on foot went to red beach under Sutomore, he is not very impressed, we have Shushani better, and go closer.

One day went (by bus, yeah) to see the famous Virpazar Skadar lake, pelicans we had not seen all over the internet that promise, I was upset. At the entrance to the city for you pounce local businessmen and you will impose their excursions. If you decide to take a boat ride, try to find a little. We were on a high with a bunch of tourists. On the bathing stop ochkanuli foreigners, women, too, swam only Russian, water as fresh milk. View from the shore of the lake stunning mountains mountains mountains and all are different colors, many islands on the lake, on which the monasteries and ruins. We also visited a private museum, quite interesting place (located right in front of the entrance to the town, in the very first restaurant right in the attic)

Back decide on the train, the station was near. Of the trip we were in shock, w / d transport they have developed a very bad thing. But arrived quickly and at a discount, a good conductor merely the absence of fines and take money for two tickets.

42. As we have said - this is the ruins of the old prison



43. When he returned, went to a snack in the cafe. Tip: Do not pay attention to the fact that the cafe look unsightly. After much persuasion, my girlfriend agreed to sit in one of these, and then says that tastes better than this "diner" she had not eaten in this country anywhere else. The food, by the way, they have a very oily. But here Corbu I loved, and cheese Kaymak too, we have it sold in many supermarkets. We also had time to assess their dairy products, for it can stay there to live, it is a pity in our country the quality of the product is poor.

Some food from Montenegro



44. All portions of our more ordinary times two or three, and sometimes could not even finish eating, so is it also applies to hamburgers, ice cream and other products.

53. And then just liked the colors in the cafe



54. In the last days of stay in Bar decided to go to the beach in Petrovac Lucica, great place, good deep bay, though a lot of people for such a small plot of land. Glad that we were already there out of season. You can pay and lay under an umbrella on a lounger, but you can on a wild area on your towel, we chose comfort.



55.



56. After the evening went to see Petrovac Budva (for those who want a lot of Russian and shopping are welcome). Budva old looks beautiful. View from the fortress down frightening and legs bent with fear, all trying to keep away from the edge. Walk through the old streets, enjoy the ancient and beautiful city.



57. The library in the old fortress, the book is not really old ...

62. Back in the bar went to the local bus station, a station, according to my girlfriend, she had not seen anywhere else, although she had to travel. The station building is surrounded by greenery, fountains, manicured cafes, as well there is a small zoo where your hand can both lick and eat small deer. In addition to deer and females here still running rabbits graze swans and something else, quite forgot.



63. After all our adventures in Bar we have gathered to the north, in the cold Zabljak. On the bus with a change in Podgorica and on serpentines and the long road to this chilly place. Booked the room right next to the train station, laziness prevails. North is very different from the South, though seemingly small, and the distance, but the height above sea level is strongly influenced. People here are also other little Russian, full of foreigners, no luck with the weather had been cloudy and cold.

On the first day in Zabljak we went to see the famous black lakes in the reserve Durmitor. In the lakes you can fish, but only for a fee. Entrance to the reserve is also paid, but fans of freebies can pass to the left of the entrance through the camp (where no one controls the entrance).



64.



65.



66. The slopes are very steep, sometimes straight trees hanging over their heads



67.



68. After strolling around the park and slightly zamёrznuv, decided to return home. On the way north the food tasted and appreciated the local flavor. People here seem strange and a bit scary, but after talking realize that in fact people are very good-natured.



69. On the second day we went to see the town. See there is nothing special, but in the center there is a house in which you can give a variety of information about what works where, where to go, bus schedules, etc. In this house, we learned about the cableway that leads to the mountain Savin Kuk, which is a source of healing and views of the lakes and Zabljak. From Zabljak to lift up the mountain to go 40-50 minutes, to save time took a taxi.

Because of the weather two attempts to get to the Savin Kuk crowned failure.



70. Near the lift at Savin Kuk runs skewers and wool, the sound of their bells only takes somewhere in another world, you can relax under it for hours



71. On the same day decided to go watch the Tara Canyon and the bridge Dzhurdzhevicha. The place got quiet, no problems. Enjoy the scenery. Fans of extreme sports like here, a lot of fun. The cafe there better not to go, unless very hungry, the food is not fun (although, of course, the taste and color ...). There we stayed for 6:00! It was impossible to leave, the schedule was full Zvezdec ago, wrote one, it was a roll with butter. Waited, waited, I absorbed this place a very good weather there 10 times changed, while we were there.

76. If it were not for this man, it is unlikely I would have seen this country



77. In the evening, it was decided to go to the sauna to warm up and swim in the pool, again, not a seasonal time played into our hands, were alone. Remarkably rested and then home.

The next morning, before leaving to Podgorica went back to the lake.



78.



79. Weather is one and the same landscape shows quite differently.

82. In Podgorica, before departure, it was decided to see a bit of the city.

While walking around the city sky we hinted at a good flight back home.

To summarize, in Montenegro can relax a little cheaper than in limiting itself, the main thing to decide on transport and not stumble on the private taxis, as well as keep track of what you buy. Olive oil, meats, cheeses, objects made of wool and other souvenirs Bring home, friends and family will be happy. Just do not forget about alcohol, and he then varied to suit every taste and color. Souvenirs of wool sold mainly only in the north. In Budva usual souvenirs ala magnets were the cheapest we have seen, can be purchased in large quantities. So we immediately bought ground coffee home, very much it was delicious. Every city is unique in Montenegro, a country steeped in history and wonderful people in it.

Everything seems to be little wrong with the number of photos
