Lovćen is located just a short drive from Boka Skyline Apartment (22km). To appreciate the true freedom of the national park it’s best to use your own transport. The hairpin road is part of the excitement and it is truly inspiring (and maybe challenging) and full of views that visitors should not miss out on. However there are private tour in to the national park.
Lovćen National Park is an adventure park for the old and young with some activities only for the adrenaline junkies, quad biking and zip-lining are just two examples. Hiking and cycling are also on offer for the less adventurous among us. Also during the winter months there are a couple of (junior) ski slopes. Never mind which activity you wish to take part in the views are spectacular over the Bays and towards Dubrovnik especially at night. Of cause you will also find some fine dinning places to have that traditional lamb sač and cool beer.

The Blue Cave is the largest of many sea caves on Lustica peninsular between Zlatna luka and Cape Mokra gora. It is named after the unusual blue colour of the water because the way the light hits the sandy bottom and reflects up through the water makes the whole cave look blue. It’s very beautiful and it’s a lucky quirk because almost all of the coast here is rocky, not sandy. You can see the blue light shining out of the cave when you approach, but to really see it you’ve got to go inside and get underwater. The water is a few degrees warmer than outside of the cave. Don’t forget your snorkel or goggles when you come here!

Plavi Horizonti beach is situated in a beautiful natural cove and is part sand, part small pebbles. It is one of the few true sandy beaches in the region. It is an ideal beach because the water is completely flat and calm it is shallow for a long way out, gradually deepening very slowly, so good for young children. Once you’re in the sea, it’s soft sand underfoot and beautiful clear water. If you ventured off over to the right towards the rocks at the edge of the cove, the water deepened and there were tons of colourful fish swimming around so don't forget your snorkels and face masks.
There’s a bar / restaurant there and shaded wooded area if you need to cool off. Parking is a short walk through the pine trees. We love the walks in the shade of the trees on the paths surounding the bay. There is a beautiful walk to Bigova.

Mirista Beach is a cove, a bit smaller than and right next to Zanjice Beach. There's an excellent restaurant right on the waterfront that serves classic Montenegrin seafood and meat dishes.
At the tip of Miriste you'll find Arza fortress, built in a circular shape for defence purposes. It is one of two Austro-hungarian fortresses that protected the entrance to the Bay of Kotor.
Although the fortress is now out of use and you can't get in, it's an interesting spot and if you're looking to get away from the crowds, you can head over here and find rock pools and more secluded spots.

Mirišta
Mirista Beach is a cove, a bit smaller than and right next to Zanjice Beach. There's an excellent restaurant right on the waterfront that serves classic Montenegrin seafood and meat dishes.
At the tip of Miriste you'll find Arza fortress, built in a circular shape for defence purposes. It is one of two Austro-hungarian fortresses that protected the entrance to the Bay of Kotor.
Although the fortress is now out of use and you can't get in, it's an interesting spot and if you're looking to get away from the crowds, you can head over here and find rock pools and more secluded spots.
The restaurant-pizzeria "Big Ben" is near Porto Montenegro and has two large terraces looking over the bay. Over time, it
has progressed from humbel beginings to serious catering. It has become synonymous with quality, fast and friendly service. I love the great pulled burgers, and beef steak. Very popular so get there early.

If you're visiting the capital "Podgorica" this is a must restaurant. One of my favourits. Its Montenegros version of the Niagara falls, inside and outside. I really liked being able to sit by the water, have a beer and a pizza or have one of the other dishes. The waiters are also relaxed and chilled, whilst still being attentive and courteous. Prices are pretty good. Most of the tables are shaded by the overhanging trees, which is exactly what you want when looking for respite from the summer heat. The falls are in full flow in spring with the snow melt of the nearby mountains.

Bar to Belgrade
It might seem unusual to recommend leaving a town as one of the main attractions, but then not every part of the world has a train route as magnificent as the one that runs from Bar all the way to Belgrade. The 11-hour (if everything is running to plan, which it rarely is) journey is a veritable conveyor belt of eye candy, with bountiful nature exploding on both sides of the track. More than 400 bridges are traversed along the way, before the train finally trundles into the Serbian capital.
The journey over the celebrated Belgrade to Bar railway is one of Europe's most spectacular train rides.
