I’ll leave the superlatives for Montenegro to Byron:
“At the birth of the planet, the most beautiful encounter between land and sea must have been on the Montenegrin coast”.
The drive around Kotor Bay is stunning. It is surrounded by mountains that extend right to the waters edge making for many gushing rivers of meltwater plunging into the sea. There are some engineering marvels here than make this drive possible.
While swimming off Budva I noticed that I was about 200 metres from shore and that thought that everyone has who was a teenager when Peter Benchley published his bestseller prompted me to head for shore. I later read that there have been 3 great white attacks off Budva. But you'd have to be very unlucky.
Montenegro is one of those places where you start researching real estate.
