Start of our adventures here

Lustica Peninsula

Our next outing was a trip to Lustica, we decided to drive through the village of Rose, and then to the beaches of Mirishta and Zanice (very much recommended by friends). The path is narrow and single lane. At first it was difficult, but then they got used to passing with oncoming people, it was a good driving practice almost on mountain roads, later it came in handy.

View from Lustica to "our" shore of the Bay of Kotor - the village of Dzhanovichi

The village of Rose was once a customs point, and all arriving ships entered here. And now it is a small, quiet, picturesque village of just a few houses.

You can get to civilization (and the nearest one is Herceg Novi on the opposite bank) by boat, it goes 3 times a day (I don’t remember the cost at all). That's who for relaxation and tranquility - this is here.

While we were getting to Mirishta and Zanjice through olive groves,


The weather turned bad, it became cloudy and windy. Maybe that's why we did not understand what is so wonderful here that we would dangle here every day, for example, from Tivat.

Mirishta Beach

Zanice beach, it's prettier

We tried to find a boat that could take us to the Blue Cave, but no one sailed there. Again, perhaps this is due to the weather, the waves were decent, not a storm, of course, but I think it would be uncomfortable on a small boat.

Well, the most unpleasant moment was a visit to one of the many eateries on the Zhanice beach, where there were fights over the increased bill for some reason. Such an observation: wherever we ate or just drank coffee, along with the order they immediately brought it and the bill, as a rule, was inserted into the cup 00/01/86/46/1864607.jpg" style="height: 600px; width: 800px" />

But in this institution he was not, this alerted her husband, it turned out not in vain. Well, okay, anything can happen, especially where there are so many relaxed tourists, and it is extremely rare (fortunately for the waiters) to meet greedy Russian men who count faster than a calculator and do not want to just part with honestly earned Jews, albeit with only eight : )).

In general, we decided to return to our village. And the closer to Tivat, the brighter the sun became (indeed, as the distance from the coast, the clouds dissipated),

the more I wanted to get vivid impressions after a somewhat dull (for us) Lustica.

Husband:

- And let's go to Kotor, what did you plan there?

- Climb up the fort. - I said timidly

- Fortress - so the fortress, I hope I chose the highest one : ))

- Naturally : )).

You can find out what came of it here

Ultsyn

Somehow we thought that we should take a look at the southern part of Montenegro. Fortunately, a distance of 100-200 km is not serious for us. And we went along the coast of the Adriatic Sea for informational purposes to Ulcinj. But, since at that moment we were already fed up with emotions, then the trip turned out to be some kind of ordinary one. The road is wonderful, the views, as always charming. View of Petrovac >


In Ulcinj, we wandered a little through the narrow streets, many of which are one-way, in search of parking, we couldn’t find a place anywhere, we had to leave it at a paid one for 3 euros. The rates are as follows: 3 euros for 12 hours, 5 per day.

We walked around the Old City. In some places it is no longer old, much is being converted into hotels and restaurants. But no bustling life was noticed there 600px; width: 800px" />

We went down to the Small Beach hoping to plunge into the sea, but there were so many people that we completely got sick of it.

And we went to the Montenegrin Copacabana - Big Beach. Parking spontaneous, under the pines. Nobody asked for money. Many people also have picnics here.

The beach itself is huge, they write that it is 13 km long. A set of sunbeds-umbrella 8 euros. Beaching darkness-darkness.

We walked a little and saw just umbrellas, so we left our junk there. Nobody came to pay.

The water here is slightly warmer than in the Bay of Kotor. Very shallow and sandy - good with children. But when we were there, a strong wind was blowing. And if it's always like this, then, for example, I don't like it, it instantly falls asleep with sand

We drove back through Old Bar.

This olive tree is considered the oldest in Europe, over 2000 years old. To look at it and take a photo, you need to pay 2 euros "height: 600px; width: 800px" />

My husband categorically refused to visit antiquities, saying that he had had enough of old cities. Well, I didn’t go alone, it’s boring alone.

No matter how I asked, my husband refused to go to Budva (he was tired). From the car window (when we were driving to Ulcinj and back) we saw a typical resort town with crowds of vacationers, crazy car traffic. But you also need to take a walk along the embankment, look at the antiquities, visit the ballerina, in the end : ) Okay, sometime later. . .

Budva from somewhere above "/>


The navigator decided that we relaxed early, and in Budva again took us somewhere to the mountains. This, probably, would not have done without adventures at all : )). And we relaxed so much that we blindly obeyed him and even almost did not resent, winding along the narrow mountain paths, but we found out where the water park was.

We don't need it at all, but the navigator decided to show it)).

To be continued:
