A taste of Albania

Get a flavour of Montenegro’s neighbouring country without even crossing the border. That’s thanks to the many elegant and impressive mosques that have a distinct Albanian style and the street food vendors that play out lively music and serve up fragrant kebabs. If you do want to tick Albania off your list, then the border is just a short drive away.

Old Town treasures

This UNESCO-listed part of the town is made up of traditional stone buildings with terracotta rooves that rest on a headland overlooking Small Beach. After it was badly damaged during earthquakes in 1969 and 1979, most of the buildings have been beautifully restored to their original glory. Today, you can weave in and out of cafés, bars and galleries or enjoy the serene sea view through an archway or window.
