What was hardly a global holiday destination even a decade ago has gained some serious tourism momentum, largely thanks to heavy foreign investment and Russia. Still, while Montenegro shares a coastline with Croatia, it remains far lesser-known. Probably a good thing considering Montenegro has a much smaller surface area and couldn’t host the same stampedes of people. However, this is part of what makes it special. It is small, and the coastline can be explored in depth over six days. You can even still find private nooks and crannies. Something else that sets Montenegro apart is its mountains. Croatia has them, but not like this. Montenegro’s mountain ranges are one with the sea in a way I’ve never seen. A truly unique strip of country. And for this reason, tourism has always driven their economy. It’s just that travellers outside of the Balkans have started to catch on this decade.
