Croatia holidays: Montenegro day trips recommended

Adventurous travellers planning an Adriatic cruise might be interested in taking a day trip to Montenegro before embarking on their trip from Dubrovnik.

Dubrovniktravelinfo.com pointed out that the destination is located just 40 minutes south of the popular Croatian city.

Montenegro is one of Europe's newest countries, having declared its independence from Serbia in 2006.

Over the past four years, it has grown in popularity as a tourism destination owing to travellers' recognition of its scenic beauty and fascinating culture.

Before setting off on a Croatia sailing trip, travellers can pay a visit to Montenegro to explore the historic city of Kotor and the bay of the same name, which Dubrovniktravelinfo.com describes as "magnificent".

Other popular destinations worth visiting in the country include the walled city of Budva and the town of Sveti Stefan, both of which are rich in culture and full of unique sights and landmarks.

Dubrovnik serves as the starting point for an Adriatic cruise that includes visits to the islands of Korcula, Hvar and Sipan.
