Cuisine and restaurants

Montenegrin eateries can be safely divided into 2 categories: “local” taverns and tourist restaurants. The first ones serve traditional Montenegrin food, cook deliciously and are not greedy - the portions in such establishments are simply huge. Secondly, the plates are smaller, the food is worse, but there is a wonderful view from the terrace. Needless to say, one can get acquainted with the traditional cuisine of Montenegro in those very simple family taverns. They are in tourist places ah, away from the beach. The owners, as a rule, cook themselves and serve the best “chorba” (fish soup made from several types of fish) and “meshano meso” (cold meat) in the area. A hearty lunch will cost about 35-50 EUR for two.

Beach establishments are usually quite good fish dishes and Italian food. In Montenegro they are generally very popular Italian restaurants, and the pizza there is usually no worse than in Italy itself. In addition to pizzerias, Chinese and Thai establishments are common.

Montenegrin wines, although little known in international markets, are quite worthy of attention. The calling card of local winemaking is the tart Montenegrin “Vranac”, as well as “Krstac”, “Chardonnay” and “Sauvignon”. The highest quality strong drink is “Krunak” (grape vodka).

In the southeast of the country, the beaches have a wider coastal strip because the mountains are not so close to the sea. Also a densely populated area, but with agriculture. They are mainly engaged in growing watermelons, famous throughout the country. But the further south you go, the less populated the areas are with houses. And these are no longer popular beaches, and it takes a long time to get to them. And closer to Albania, the beaches merge into one huge beach due to this and got its name Velika Plazha ( big beach).

And the sea on the beach is often with waves because... the beach has no natural barriers and strong sea winds blow. But this beach is popular for extreme sports enthusiasts. water sports. On the very border with Albania on the Boyana River there is the island of Ada, where the largest nudist beach in Europe is located.

Holidays in Ulcinj and surroundings

The Ulcinj Riviera of Montenegro is the least popular among Russian citizens, which is primarily due to the so-called “Albanian factor” (the vast majority of the population of the Ulcinj municipality are Montenegrin Albanians) and the predominance of the Albanian language and Muslim flavor on this riviera.

Advantages:

The magnificent beach "Velika Plazha", black sand, large, where even children can run...

The beach is wide, about 200 m, 13 km long - there will be room to stay even during the peak season, excellent entry into the sea for both adults and children, knee-length water 50-70 meters into the sea (some people don’t really like this, since the floor it takes an hour to go there and half an hour back)))

Open sea, every night the sea is washed by fresh tides and cleared. Due to the fact that it is shallow, a wave is formed and it is very beautiful, wave after wave - like on the open ocean.

Flaws:

The sand on the beach gets so hot that it is impossible to walk barefoot - you need slippers.

There are often winds that raise clouds of sand dust into the air.

About 70% of Albanians (Muslim religion) live in Ulcinj. There are many vacationing Kosovo Albanians and Albanians from the diaspora in the resorts of the Ulcinj Riviera Western Europe. There are many mosques, there are calls to prayer every morning and evening (many people don’t like this).

As mentioned above, the nearest accommodation from the sea is very far away, about 1000-1500 meters and further, so it is difficult to walk in the heat or with children. There is also one drawback: this area is not very developed in terms of infrastructure and it takes about 10-15 minutes to get to the nearest supermarkets by car.

Beach holiday in this country it is possible from May to September, and it is at this time that the most people come here. And this article is about what a holiday in Montenegro is like in August, one of the hottest months of the year.

weather in last month Summer in Montenegro is excellent, suitable for swimming, night fun, and excursions. However, it is quite difficult to talk about the weather when we're talking about about the whole country. But Montenegro, nevertheless, is not so small, and even the climatic zones here are different: in the north of Montenegro there is a temperate continental climate, on the coast - Mediterranean. Temperatures in August are more or less stable. On the coast throughout the month, the air temperature during the day fluctuates between +28°C and +33°C, and at night it averages somewhere between +17-22°C.

In the mountains in August it is a little cooler - during the day on average + 25-26°C (sometimes rises to + 30°C), at night - only + 6...11°C (can drop to lower levels). In addition, mountainous areas are characterized by slightly more pronounced temperature changes throughout the month.

In the capital of Montenegro, Podgorica, temperatures in August are extremely pleasant, from +27°C to +35°C, but the nights in the capital in August are not so pleasant, especially when the thermometer drops to +8°C (however less, on average at night in Podgorica about +12°C).

There is precipitation in August, but there is not much of it - on average, there is only one rainy day across the country, and maybe there will be no rain at all. IN mountainous areas more humid and there may be up to 5 rainy days. In general it can be considered that most days in August the sun shines over Montenegro, and the sky is clear and cloudless.

The Adriatic Sea off the coast of Montenegro is the warmest in August. average temperature water - +26-27°C. This temperature is more than comfortable for water procedures, but at the very end of the month the water begins to slowly cool down. Well, the amazing beaches of Montenegro are good any day of the month, as is the nature of Montenegro, which delights tourists in August with an abundance of greenery and flowers.

What to do in Montenegro in August

There are plenty of options, don't worry. Of course, the weather can be very hot, but this is not a reason to cancel excursions and hikes. August, like other summer months, is perfect for traveling around the country, and there is definitely something to admire in Montenegro. One of the most picturesque places in the country - Bay of Kotor, although swimming there is not very convenient (inconvenient rocky bottom and artificial platforms).

It’s much more pleasant to splash in the waves in a place Becici, Rafailovici, Ulcinj and on the famous beach Ada Boyana. If you don’t swim, then go on a yacht along the coast and admire the seaside landscapes and small islands. Montenegro has many islands. Many tourists like, for example, Island of Flowers(or Prevlaka Island) with lush vegetation and wide beaches where you can relax and sunbathe. In addition, on the Island of Flowers there is a monastery where only three monks live.
Ada Boyana Island was formed thanks to a ship that sank more than a century ago (it sank between two small islands). The area of this island today is about 350 hectares, and Ada Boyana has turned into an independent and very popular resort.
Opposite Budva there is an uninhabited beautiful St. Nicholas Island, and not far from Petrovac - Sveta Nedelya Island with a beautiful temple of the same name on it. It can also be noted Stradioti Island(or in other words the island of St. Mark), which is located near Tivat and, of course, artificial Island of Our Lady on the Reef.

The rocky shores of Montenegro offer many picturesque spots. One of the most popular places on the shore - Blue Cave near the city of Herceg Novi. This is perhaps one of the most beautiful grottoes in almost the entire Adriatic. The height of the grotto is 9 meters and the depth is 4 meters, so you can easily swim into the cave on a small boat or yacht. The easiest way to get to this cave is by boat. famous beachŽanjic (in the Miriste Valley).

No less beautiful Dzhalovicha cave in Kolasin. Kolasin is not a seaside town, so it is not a sea grotto, but a real mountain cave, which is considered one of the most beautiful and largest in Europe. Some cave vaults reach a height of 30 meters! Naturally, the beauty of the cave is its massive stalactites and stalagmites! Only 2.5 kilometers of the cave are accessible to tourists, and if you go on such an excursion, I advise you to dress warmly - it is not that hot in the cave.

In August, many come to Montenegro to paddle along its wild mountain rivers. We can safely say that rafting- it's not only sports activity, and also an excellent opportunity to admire the beauty of the river banks. Most often they raft on the Tara and Moraca rivers. At the same time, Moraca is more suitable for beginners, and Tara is more suitable for professionals, since it is more rugged and rocky.

It’s not only the rivers that impress with their views – the lakes are also beautiful. For example, Skadar Lake, which is very easy to get to: it’s very cool to sail on a boat on the lake, exploring the islands and picturesque shores.
And here's to lakes Trnovacko it will be more difficult to get to: it is located in the north-west of Montenegro, on the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina. The lake is glacial and is located at an altitude of 1517 m above sea level, so only the most active travelers will reach it. But the views that appear before your eyes are certainly surprising: the water in the lake is of an unusual color!

Another amazing thing Mountain Lake - Crno-Jezero(or Black Lake), which is located near Zabljak, in the mountains (on Mount Durmitor, at an altitude of 1416 meters). It consists of two lakes, one of which flows into the other, forming a small waterfall (however, it cannot be seen in any month of the year).

Besides the amazing natural phenomena, there are many interesting man-made objects in Montenegro. For example, in town of Bar many ancient attractions: the 17th century aqueduct, ruins Cathedral St. George, the Citadel, as well as a number of lovely churches. The most interesting thing is to wander around the Old Bar with its completely unique atmosphere.
City of Herceg Novi extremely romantic with its dilapidated towers, and in the coastal town Dobra Voda- a whole bunch of “photographable” ancient churches and palaces. IN Sutomore worth a look fortress with funny name Haj Nehaj and the ruins of Ratac Abbey.

Yes, what can we say: perhaps literally every city in Montenegro can offer something interesting for its guest!

With entertainment in Montenegro, everything is also in perfect order. There are also water parks here - a favorite entertainment for children. The largest and most famous water park in Montenegro is considered water park on the territory of the Mediteran Hotel, near Budva in the town of Becici. To those who are desperately thirsty nightlife, parties, dating and sunrise meetings - to Budva, where clubs and discos are literally at every turn, and it’s especially fun there in August. A one of the coolest nightclubs is located in Kotor(“Maximus”).

Holidays and festivals in Montenegro in July

At the very end of August, an important event is celebrated in Montenegro: Day of declaration of Montenegro as a kingdom. On August 28, 1910, on the anniversary year of the 50th anniversary of his reign, Nicholas I proclaimed the Principality of Montenegro a kingdom, and he himself became its first king. Then in 1917, the merger of Montenegro with Serbia was announced, and a year later Montenegro joined the new Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. In short, August 28 today does not have the status of a public holiday in Montenegro, however, it is celebrated quite widely.

From July 1 to August 31, Bar hosts the annual popular music festival - "Summer with the Stars." As part of the festival, a huge stage is installed on the Bar embankment, on which performers from all over Montenegro and the republics of the former Yugoslavia perform. The event is interesting, fun and large-scale.

In August, one of the most famous tourist holidays takes place in Kotor - "Bokel Night". This is something like a fashion show with elegantly decorated boats, concerts and fireworks in city squares.
In Podgorica in August it is held international festival of alternative theaters, which is considered the best in Europe. In Bar in August you can see traditional women's volleyball tournament outdoors, and in Zabljak - annual jeep rally. In Kotor, in the last month of summer, an international summer carnival will be held, and in Ulcinj "Fish Night", a celebration of wine, fish, dancing and music. And finally, annual tournament of fashion designers in Tivat.

Thus, Montenegro is a wonderful option for those who are planning to have a quality holiday in August.
