Montenegro

Montenegro, seemingly one of Europe youngest nations, in fact, has a fiercely independent and separatist tradition that saw its doughty inhabitants successfully resisting dominance from the ancient Greek, Ottoman and Venetian empires.

In a landscape that is predominantly mountainous and highly inaccessible, it has developed a religious, linguistic and cultural identity of its own which has endured through the ages.

Since its official re-establishment as a nation-state in 2006, it has steadily won a deserved reputation as a land steeped in historical interest and stunningly rugged terrain, which has carved out an identity that has only recently begun to attract the attention of the intrepid traveller. Now more than ever, Montenegro holidays are growing to be one of the most sought-after destinations in Europe for those with a lust for adventure.
