The nature in Montenegro is lavish one and the scenery is different and full of contrasts. We have got the sea and the mountains, lakes and cliffs, fast mountain rivers and waterfalls and are abundant in biodiversity. We will take care of you seeing everything that needs to be seen here, when you visit us. We will show you the things we are proud of.

Our villages have preserved the customs and traditions from ancient times, something that cannot be found so easily in urban areas. The hospitality of rural families has not been learned at trainings and courses, it is embedded into the essence of our people and carried on from generation to generation. A guest is always welcome in our villages, always served food and drink, even in those times when people were very poor. People of our villages will offer you a warm welcome and a glass of brandy even if they don’t know you and don’t speak your language.

Centuries-old tradition in Montenegrin villages is for households to make their own food, and they buy only those ingredients they can’t produce. When they make their own food, they give it their best to make it as good as possible, without any chemicals or additives. A large number of seasonal ingredients are processed, using old recipes, in order to preserve them for the winter. When you decide to stay in one of these households, you’ll get a chance to try all these, to pick what you need in the garden, to take part in preparing one of the traditional dishes together with your hosts. One thing is guaranteed here, no guest has left us hungry, and the food takes the top place where guests’ impressions are concerned!

There is a large number of opportunities to spend an active holiday in our rural areas. There are lots of marked trails for hiking and mountain biking, that crisscross the entire country and pass through a large number of villages. A lot of our rivers and lakes are free for fishing, we have some marked fly fishing zones. You can rent a boat, try zip line, climb the rocks, explore the canyons or caves. And if you are not interested in too much adrenaline, but you still have some adventure spirit in you, then feel free to explore old village trails our ancestors travelled on, on foot or by horse, the trails that used to connect villages in the area, then village to a town, or villages and katuns. Your hosts might join you, if they find some free time, and revisit their childhood memories and tell you a story or two about those trails.
