Montenegro is a secret that's rapidly being let out of the bag...

In fact, it was #1 on Forbes' list of top travel destinations for 2015.

Kotor was Lonely Planet's #1 city to visit in 2016.

And Montenegro was listed on too many top travel lists to mention in 2017 and 2018.

Watch this short video to see the incredible diversity and beauty you'll find in Montenegro.

" Kotor is drop-dead gorgeous from every angle. Within the city walls, locals sip strong coffee at pavement cafes and queue for warm bread at the bakers amid a dreamy maze of alleys and plazas; beyond them, the mountain-encircled, fjord-like bay of the same name is one of the most photogenic spots in all of Europe.

Better still, the cruise ships have yet to overwhelm this marvel of the Med - get here before they drop anchor."

Montenegro, the 'Pearl of the Adriatic', is a little country nestled between Croatia and Albania on the Adriatic Sea.

This little-known Mediterranean jewel is in the heart of Southern Europe. It's only 3 hours from London and 1-2 hours from other European centres.

Despite this, the stone villages, dramatic mountains and azure waters will make you feel like you've been transported to a Mediterranean fairy tale. Read more...
