ĀNANTI EXPERIENCES

This tour takes you on a journey across the picturesque angel-shaped bay, with visits to attractive historic sites. The highlights are the little baroque town of Perast and the island of Our Lady of the Rocks – a tiny spot of land with an old church that exhibits paintings of talented local artists, over 2,000 silver votive plaques and other antique gifts donated by local sailors.

An unspoiled wild wonder and one of the most amazing natural phenomena of Montenegro, the Skadar Lake is the largest fresh water reservoir in the Balkan Peninsula, covering 391 km². This expansive, green lake lined with lily pads is also a geological crypto depression, with some parts of the waterbed sitting below the mean sea level.

Due to its geographic position and sub Mediterranean climate, the lake is one of Europe’s most significant habitats for swamp birdlife, after the Danube River delta. With around 280 bird species, including the rare curly pelican, a trademark of the National Park, the Skadar Lake has plenty of room for exploration and discovery. Witness the unparalleled natural beauty, lush evergreen vegetation, bays, capes, and islands that are home to numerous monasteries, churches, and holy monuments. This tour is perfect for keen explorers and those seeking an encounter with the traditional Montenegrin waterside living.

Taking you to the Old Royal Montenegrin capital, this tour brings you all the way from the gorgeous coast up to the majestic mountains. After soaking in the views of the Bay of Kotor from the high hills above, enter the village of Njegusi, an authentic Montenegrin mountain village, resplendent with native character, culture, and identity. In Cetinje, visit the royal residence, the King Nikola’s Palace, where impressive displays of medallions, decorative weaponry and vintage furniture are gazed upon by the members of the Petrovic dynasty from the portrait gallery – a throwback in time to the late 19th century royal Montenegro.

Return to the coast via Njegusi for a tasting platter of the famous local cured ham and learn the art of its preparation from native prosciutto maestros.

The Podgorica central region is known for the abundance of sunshine, thus the area has many vineyards that grow mostly sweet varieties of grape. Hosts from Rogami Vineyards invite you for a walk along their wine route, their orchards, and the delightful gardens, before toasting you with a welcome grappa-like-brandy, made from the local grape. Alternatively, guests can say ‘cheers’ with a fresh glass of home-made grape juice, before indulging in a tempting array of authentic Montenegrin refreshments and local delicacies, including organic fruit and rich domestic honey.

‍

Going offshore is a great way to experience the beautiful Montenegrin coastlines – minus the traffic and with elevated luxury. Feel the exhilarating wind rippling through your hair as you cruise along the coastline in Adriatic style.

See the quaint fishing villages and fortress towns from an entirely new perspective – appreciate stunning stone facades against a lush mountainous backdrop. It’s not just the shoreline you’ll get to appreciate– see rare pelican breeding grounds and island monasteries dotted across more secluded areas for an intimate touch.
