This year he was on holiday in Montenegro for the first time.
After a long study he settled in Montenegro. Not wanting to keep company with our mass tourists in Bulgaria and Greece, Croatia scared away both the price and the extra worries of a visa. Crimea cost a lot when choosing a human hotel, so Montenegro chose the latter.
The travel company through which Mist-Tour chose to go is that they are a tour operator and have their adequate representatives in Montenegro. Super guys, but about them later.
I will say that after the not very successful travels of the Tour of Slovakia in Montenegro, they have recovered and are well done.
Because to go by bus and scary in the mountains and long choosing a flight.
Horse company, tour operator charter - md80 aircraft - saw life, but quite clean.

Not without incident at the airport due to the terrible qualifications of airport staff, we still climbed into the sky and an hour and a half after receiving a cool drink, we landed at one of the most difficult and smallest airports in the world - Tivat in Montenegro.
Tivat greeted us with a small airport on the shores of the Bay of Kotor, the runway of which "flows" into the Adriatic Sea of ​ ​ the Bay of Kotor. Therefore, if the plane does not stop in time, you will plunge into the Adriatic Sea. : ) But this has never happened before, so be positive. Since the airport is very small, we walk from the plane to the airport, pass passport control where for some reason not very friendly customs officers put a stamp in the middle of my passport, missing a few blank pages (apparently hinted that I travel a little and it would have to be filled : ).
We get our luggage (he came to the same country as me, and it happens differently) and go through the green corridor to the exit.
On the street we are already waiting for the representatives of Mist-Tour with signs (here their office is a travel company Mont-Tour) and put us in comfortable buses where air conditioners are already included, the bus is very comfortable.
And we, accompanied by a representative of Andrew (praise and bow to him for his work) go to our villa in Rafailovich.
After half an hour of driving, during which Andrew told us the necessary information about Montenegro and the resort towns, we leave for the largest resort town in Montenegro - Budva. Here we drop some tourists on their villas, then the town of Becici and here are our Rafailovichi.
I chose this town for the reason that I wanted a quiet and peaceful holiday, but did not want to be far from civilization.
In terms of price, the quality of tranquility and comfort, I consider Rafailovichi the most successful choice because you will be in the center of the waterfront and at average prices.
At the stop we are met by the owner of Villa Mango Christina (by the way, Ukrainian, which is nice) and leads down a steep descent to the villa (50m. ) We settled on the top fourth floor with a large terrace with a table and four chairs which is only 50m.

The room has everything you need, kitchen with all utensils and accessories. According to the stories, such a full provision was only at our villa. Apparently, the Ukrainian owner still knows our mentality.
The room has air conditioning, cable TV (unfortunately only two Russian channels and no Ukrainian), kettle, iron, hair dryer and everything you need.
Towels and bed linen are changed every three days. The room is cleaned daily.
We immediately paid for breakfast and dinner.
Meals are served at the neighboring Obala Hotel, which is 100 meters away on foot.
Buffet breakfast, dinner - soup, salad, main course, dessert.
In my opinion, you should not order food in advance - you will have a chance to choose different restaurants every time, of which there are many. Almost all have such an option as a full breakfast, lunch, dinner, which cost an average of 5-6 euros. If you order meals separately, the two will usually cost 15-30 euros, depending on what is available.
The food is delicious and even a little reminiscent of Ukrainian.
the only thing that is not very good - it's salads. Here, this means slicing vegetables - tomato salad, cucumbers and cabbage separately on a plate. And you already add salt to yourself, etc. So be careful with salads, which sometimes resemble rabbit food, not our salad.
The sea was a bit cold most days and this despite the fact that the temperature was somewhere between 38-44s.
The beach in Rafailovichi is a bit dirty, so we went to the neighboring beach Kamyanevo.
One and a half kilometers on foot, but the crystal clear water in which I was constantly trying to catch sea fish.
Beaches are free but sunbeds and umbrellas are paid - 5-10 euros per day. Therefore, I recommend buying sunbeds and umbrellas (8-20 euros) and rest on the free part from sunbeds - in Kamyanev it is enough, in Rafailovichi it is crowded, and in Budva there is not enough space.
Excursions. Montenegro is a country worth seeing and visiting.

We used most of the excursions. Excursions for tourists are led by Alexander - just a super and probably the only Ukrainian-speaking guide in Montenegro. During his excursions you will plunge into the magical world of Montenegro, know all the features of all places, be able to get answers to all questions, get a lot of fun and emotions.
Having different experiences, I will say this - a tour with Alexander and another guide is very different tours.
He is a professional and just a man who has been living and breathing in Montenegro for eight years. Even if you come alone or with another company, I recommend going on excursions only with him. - Get the most positive. You will be told exactly where to go and where not. The man does not aim only to earn money (otherwise he would not refuse me two excursions that were the most expensive) and above all to aim to satisfy tourists from the tour.
Montenegro is expensive after Bulgaria and cheap after Croatia. But Montenegro is worth going here at least once.
If you want not only the sea, but also travel and emotions - then this is Montenegro.
