Walking in Montenegro
Put on your walking boots to explore the stunning natural beauty of Montenegro. Take strolls along the scenic coastline, soaking in the breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea. Capture the emerald-green hillsides surrounding the UNESCO-protected Bay of Kotor and the small islet of Sveti Stefan. Follow the hiking trails from the village of Vrmac down to Gornja-Lastva, where pomegranates and olives bloom. Marvel at Montenegro's lush Mediterranean vegetation and charming rustic buildings. And visit historic sites like the Rustovo Monastery and Kosmac Fortress.

Rustovo Monastery
Lovcen National Park
Vrmac

Grade 3: This grade is ideal for those who enjoy a variation in walking levels from easy to moderate. You’ll be walking mainly on good paths at a low altitude, with occasional more demanding ascents and descents. Walking regularly in preparation prior to the tour is recommended due to 5 to 9 miles of walking in the space of 2.5 to 4 hours per day.
The simple beachfront Hotel Palas is our best value hotel in the collection and is perfectly placed for a peaceful stay on the Budva Riviera. It's located in the quiet resort of Petrovac, a former fishing village that now lines up a host of relaxed restaurants and cafes. There’s a pool and sun terrace, and well-kept gardens lead you down to the shore. There's also a heated indoor pool for early and late season stays. Rooms are cosy and understated, with sliding doors leading out to a balcony with side-on views of the Adriatic. Enjoy sea views from the restaurant terrace (weather dependent), where tables are shaded by pergolas covered in lush climbers.

Holiday location
Local Area
Location-wise, you’re moments from the beach and an easy stroll to the amenities in Petrovac. The beachside prom is ideal for leisurely strolls, particularly at sunset. Further afield, you’ve got pretty Budva just 17km away, with a bus stopping moments from the hotel. Budva’s old town is a warren of cobbled lanes and medieval stone buildings, encased in 17th-century walls.
