About this experience

The program of this tour is designed to introduce you to several very interesting places and attractions, each of which in its own way reflects the diversity that Montenegro is rich in a small area.

We start with the very interesting bed of the Cijevna river, which changes its appearance several times during its course. We continue towards the Skadar lake basin, where we will stop several times, first to discover the fortress, the former medieval capital of Montenegro, and then to enjoy the view of the beautiful lake and the national park.
For the second part of the day, a visit to the Old Bar, a unique location, is reserved, which with its immediate urban environment, spacious olive groves and high mountain hinterland tells a story like no other place on the Montenegrin coast.
Of course you will have the opportunity to enjoy local delicacies in some of the taverns in the old town of Bar, to taste the famous pomegranate beer or very delicious baklava.

Detailed itinerary

1

Just 10 or 15 minutes after departure and leaving the city, there are interesting waterfalls on the Cijevna river and rock formations shaped by river erosion. The Cijevna River originates in Albania, and after emerging from a 1000 m deep canyon, it forms an exciting riverbed all the way to the mouth of the Morača River. We will walk in the immediate vicinity of the waterfall, enjoy the view of the endless vineyards and high limestone mountains that belong partly to Montenegro and partly to Albania.

2

About half an hour's drive from the Waterfall near the Skadar lake is located medieval capital of Montenegro called Zabljak Crnojevica that was built in the 15th century on a hill in the immediate vicinity of Lake Skadar. An easy walk leads to the fortress, which offers a wonderful view in all directions. The lake, meadows, horses, birds, domestic animals will complete the experience of the rural areas of Montenegro and the surroundings of Lake Skadar.

3

Just 20 minutes away from Podgorica there is Skadar Lake, the largest lake in the Balkans, the area proclaimed national park, enlisted as Ramsar wetland of international importance, famous for its birds( about 270 species), fish, water lilies, rich cultural heritage, charming villages and the best Montenegrin wine. We will be driving around the lake, enjoying the view form nice viewpoints (and as optional have a beautiful boat ride among lilies and birds).

4

Old Bar, inhabited since ancient times, is known for its multiculturalism and cultural heritage, where the Illyrians, the Greeks, the Venetians, the Ottomans, and the Byzantine Empire left their mark in addition to the local residents.
Archaeologists rightly call it a paradise for research, the Montenegrin Pompeii, which has been uninhabited for a century and a half, and represents a real untouched gem. The cliffs that surround it give it an extra touch of drama, and the cobbled streets and architectural heritage in the immediate surroundings contribute to an atmosphere that takes you back to some previous centuries and different ways of living.

We will walk through the interior among the walls that have surrounded it for centuries, enjoy the view from the top of the citadel, visit the archaeological museum and then have free time to complete the day with coffee served in the traditional way, a beer mixed with wild pomegranate syrup or some other local delicacy.
