Our local guide will take us on one of the shorter routes, starting at Krstac-Njegusi, where we can enjoy panoramic views, stretching to the Adriatic Sea and Bay of Kotor from some points. We will finish our walk today in Kotor. 

After a wonderful week of walking in the heart of Montenegro’s natural landscapes, it is now time to relax a little as we explore some of the region’s historic sights. We’ll enjoy a stroll through Budva’s attractive Old Town, before travelling to Kotor to join a boat trip to Lady of the Rocks and Perast. Back in Kotor, you’ll have time to explore the winding streets and learn more about landmarks including the cathedral and city walls.  

We return to Tivat Airport for the flight home. 

Before booking, you should check with your doctor to see whether any health precautions are needed for your trip. Health advice and requirements can change, so we recommend doing this in good time before travel.

As a general rule, travellers should ensure they are up to date with routine UK vaccinations and boosters, including, for example, MMR and diphtheria, tetanus and polio. Some countries may require you to have specific vaccinations such as Malaria, Rabies and Yellow Fever. Please check with your GP if you are unsure.

Please note that the use or possession of some common prescription or over-the-counter medicines is restricted or banned in certain countries. If you will be carrying medication, you should check with the relevant embassy or consulate before travelling. As an extra precaution, we recommend keeping medication in its original packaging, carrying a copy of your prescription, and, where possible, asking your pharmacist to provide the medication name in the language of the country you are visiting.
