People, as you know, are the same: all have jackets in the hallway and a closet with packages in the kitchen. Here are just household trivia and our striking resemblance is limited. Someone loves the cold, and a person walking nearby - the heat; some prefer to be creators, others like the role of the contemplative. There are couch potatoes for whom a cup of tea, a plaid and a favorite series are more expensive than any adventure. Silence, peace and beloved books - what could be better than a peaceful contemplation of the beautiful, reflection and search? And there are people for whom the birthplace is the road. All they would have to go, fly, run, swim somewhere. For them to release all the money that was saved on a fur coat, for travel and adventure - just spit. Familiar around the world, a bunch of photos and breathtaking impressions are the memory of those moments that are really worth living for. There is such a side in the world that will satisfy both home people and adventurers; and intellectuals and extremes; both adults and children; and children of mountains, and salted sea wolves. And this is Montenegro. Meet the beautiful country by the sea!
For centuries: Montenegro
This country is often confused with Croatia, Serbia, Albania ... It comes to the point that they unite it with its neighbors. This is not surprising, because this state gained independence only in the relatively nearby two thousand and sixth year. Then they broke a family bond with neighboring Serbia. In general, the situation in the Balkans was often tense, starting in the twentieth century. The constant manipulations of Germany, the incompatibility of peoples, although considered fraternal, which they tried to unite in one territory, all this affected the state of the region. And so, at the beginning of the young century, a map of the peninsula was finally formed. Nevertheless, peace in the Balkans is rather fragile: frequent strikes and conflicts arise either in Serbia or in Greece. The countries of the former Yugoslavia are considered one of the poorest in Europe. Therefore, tourists should not expect chic palaces or fashionable streets. And yet this does not prevent them from visiting these countries and going to sea. Montenegro also shook from rallies, but remains attractive to travelers.
Natural conditions in Montenegro
There is already everything for the fastidious traveler: the mountains, and the plains, and the lake, and the sea. Montenegro is a country with a predominantly mountainous terrain. Its highest point is about two and a half kilometers. There is also a canyon, considered the deepest in Europe and almost inferior to no one in the world. Climbers will definitely like it here. Not far from the Albanian border is Skadar Lake. It is striking in its grandeur and beauty of species. By the way, the relief here is pretty flat. And, of course, the most interesting part of Montenegro is the one where land and sea meet. Montenegro received as a gift from nature only a narrow strip of the Adriatic coast. But these shores are breathtaking. The gentle sea beckons. On the coast, the country's climate is quite mild, it belongs to the subtropical type. But in the depths of the peninsula, it ceases to be so gentle, although it still remains comfortable. Popular resorts in Europe are located here. And this is not at all surprising! The mild climate, mountains and plains, the Adriatic Sea - Montenegro is simply created for tourism!
Count Montenegro
One way or another, but all tourists have to deal with the Montenegrins. And everyone is destined to remain delighted with these proud people. Their life is measured and leisurely. These people are very polite, never climb into other people's affairs. They were tempered in past centuries, and everywhere, especially in the villages, independence, honor, pride, courage and courage are valued above all. Montenegrins are very good tourists, and for some reason they are especially warm with Russians, who are very loved here. Travelers leave only positive reviews, in which they mention the decency of the staff, store employees. What is also important, they also note the sense of humor of the inhabitants of this warm country. Most of the country is engaged in metallurgy and agriculture. Representatives of all the peoples of the Balkan Peninsula live here . The culture of Montenegro was created under the pressure of all kinds of religions, movements, trends, eras. So the state religions are both Christianity and Islam. After visiting this state, the tourist will not have a bitter aftertaste from communicating with local residents.
I want to Montenegro. Urgently!
Not the only sea - we will talk about the Adriatic later - Montenegro lives. And here is what you should definitely see a person who came even just to soak up the sea. Montenegro has a rather rich history and culture, and the landscapes come across just magnificent. So, what should a tourist see? Do not ignore Budva.

St. Stephen's Island is also a kind of classic of the tourist genre. Montenegro has many islands, but this one can rightly be called a diamond in the tiara of the country's attractions.
But medieval Europe pulls from Skadar Lake. Under the din of birds, visit monasteries, churches, crypts, admire the haze above the water. Ada Boyana is Montenegro's most famous nudist beach. However, where the sea meets the Boyana River, you already feel unity with nature. Since the Montenegrins are very religious, in almost every village you can find a temple or mosque. Many of them breathe in antiquity.
