Montenegro- Anyone been?

[Bakero]

I'm heading over there in a couple of weeks. Any recommendations on where or where not to go?

Kotor and Budva well worth a visit.

Did you stay in Budva itself or one of the nearby towns? I've heard Sveti Stefan and Petrovac are nice.

Kotor, we were there two weeks ago. Small town at the end of Southern Europe's largest fiord. Fabulous old town with lovely bars and restaurants. Take the long up hill walk to the fort, the views are incredible.

Budvar is great, full of Russian Mafia with big super cars and incredibly plastic women. Super yachts and again decent restaurants.

You will have a ball

Probably prefer a Levellers gig and a craft beer, but maybe I am wrong

Any good footballers from there?

Been to Budvar twice and love it, especially the old town.

Kotor & Budva are both good. However, Sveti Stefan is a private hotel so unless you're a guest of the resort you will only be able to look at it from the mainland!

Fk Mogren hail from Budva and are waiting on a new stadium which will sit on top of a Hotel roof.

Kotor Bay is the most beautiful place, been there a few times, that would be my preferred place to stay.

Don't go to Sveti Stefan, they won't let you in, owned by rich 'stards. Pretty mind.

Petar Petrović Njegoš’s Mausoleum worth a visit.

Rivers and canyons are amazing, you'll find them.

Podgorica a Soviet era city but has interesting and largely unexcavated Roman city, if you can find it.

Be careful on the roads, they drive like mad people on hairpinny roads.

Nice people.

But Kotor Bay is No 1 place.

Access to the "island" is restricted but the beaches nearby are public I believe.

Not unbelievably nice IMHO, not the reason you go there. Crowded, touristy.
