Montenegro family holidays guide

Listening to the chirp, chirp of crickets or the gentle swish of a scythe cutting fresh grass is what the good life in Montenegro is all about, although these simple pleasures are always best enjoyed after a day of blimmin’ brilliant outdoor adventures. Gulp down a mug of herbilicious mountain tea or extra helping of homemade muffins and jam, join the rest of your small group, jump in a 4x4 and set off into them there hills as your family gets to hike, bike and dive right into the mountain peaks, glacial rivers and shaded forest trails that make Montenegro a must for adventurers, young and not so young. This is a country of legendary lakes, such as Skadar and Biogradsko; Europe’s longest canyon – zip-lining anyone?; and simple pleasures to be enjoyed with new found friends. Days at the beach will seem dull in comparison; trying out something new and exciting, as a family, is what Montenegro memories were made for.

Montenegro is a country of two halves: the mountainous north and the Adriatic south, with the beaches around the Bay of Kotor in the southwest burgeoning with bronzed bods whilst Durmitor National Park, 150km north, is a lot quieter. Centre based Montenegro family holidays – an eco lodge near the town of Kolasin, perhaps, or a converted farmhouse on the banks of Lake Skadar, just south of the capital – allow you to really get to know a local area and, because Montenegro is so small, you can still see lots more of the country on day trips without the faff of packing and unpacking.
