Family Fun in Montenegro: A Guide to Creating Unforgettable Memories

29.02.2024

Despite it’s relatively compact size Montenegro offers a promise of adventure, relaxation, and cultural enrichment, which can easily satisfy the demands of most families who are looking for the chance to create lasting memories. From the sun-drenched beaches to the rugged mountains, this Balkan country offers a plethora of experiences that cater to all ages, whether you're exploring ancient towns, enjoying water sports, or simply soaking in the scenic landscapes.

Sure, you will be forgiven for not immediately thinking of Montenegro as the ultimate ‘family destination’ when you compare it to the likes of Spain, Portugal, Greece and Turkey to name a few, but by its very nature, Montenegro’s uniqueness & landscape makes it difficult to compare in the first place.

Coastal Charms and Seaside Adventures
Montenegro's coastline is famed for its stunning beaches and historic coastal towns. Budva, with its picturesque Old Town and beautiful beaches, is a perfect starting point. Families can enjoy sandy shores, crystal-clear waters, and a variety of water sports, from paddleboarding to jet skiing. For a more tranquil experience, the Bay of Kotor, known as Europe's southernmost fjord, offers serene waters ideal for kayaking and exploring hidden coves by boat.

The coastal town of Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage site, captivates visitors with its medieval architecture, cobblestone streets, and the ancient city walls that offer panoramic views of the bay. A climb up the fortress of St. John's Castle is a must-do for families, promising an adventurous ascent and rewarding vistas.

Mountain Escapes and Outdoor Pursuits
Montenegro's interior is a playground for nature lovers and adventure seekers. The Durmitor National Park, another UNESCO World Heritage site, is a haven for hiking, rafting, and exploring dramatic landscapes. Families can embark on guided hikes through pine forests, discover the beauty of the Black Lake, or thrill in a rafting trip down the Tara River, which boasts the world's second deepest canyon.
For a unique experience, the Biogradska Gora National Park offers one of Europe’s last three rainforests and stunning glacial lakes. It's an excellent spot for leisurely walks, picnics, and boat rides, making it perfect for families seeking a blend of adventure and relaxation amidst nature.

Cultural Experiences and Historical Explorations
Montenegro's rich history is woven into the fabric of its towns and cities. The Old Royal Capital of Cetinje invites families to step back in time and explore Montenegro's cultural and historical heart. Visit the Cetinje Monastery, the King Nikola Museum, and the Blue Palace to get a glimpse into the country's royal past.

Ulcinj, near the Albanian border, offers another unique cultural experience. Its Old Town, an ancient pirate hideout, and the Long Beach, one of the longest on the Adriatic coast, provide a mix of history and leisure activities for the whole family.

Culinary Delights and Local Flavors
Montenegrin cuisine is a testament to the country's rich cultural tapestry, offering a blend of Mediterranean flavors and Balkan traditions. Families can enjoy fresh seafood along the coast, traditional dishes such as "ćevapi" (grilled minced meat) and "burek" (savory pastry) in the cities, and sample locally produced wines and olive oils. Many restaurants offer outdoor seating with spectacular views, allowing families to dine amidst the scenic beauty of Montenegro.

• In period May-August 2022 we sold our flats in St-Petersburg Russia and  have bought two  ones here in Montenegro, Becici. We decided to move here and make new home and business with my husband. Our agent Milica Zugic  is really became our angel - provider here in Montenegro. She is very reliable, responsible , professional  employee of CMM Budva department. She has developed intuition and found very fast necessary properties which we needed. Also she helped us to speed up the process of registration documents in MUP.( list nepokretnosti, etc). She was our real provider here. Very appreciated her and all staff of Budva department for there assistance. Separately to lawyer Ivan and his legal team. Very recommended choose Milica Zugic as real estate manager when you search for assistant in this complicated and important field as buying property in Montenegro.

• At the beginning of April 2022, our family living in Prague bought a house in Sutomore with the assistance of your company.
  Let me express my gratitude to the management of your company for the service provided, and especially to your employees - Anastasia Zeyak, Alexei Grachev and Elena Bozhovich for their attention, patience and even care for the whole time of buying real estate and the services provided after the purchase.
  I would really like all companies to work with the same quality of service. After coming into contact with this kind of attitude towards the client, all our environment, if necessary, will refer to your company only.
  With gratitude on behalf of our family.

• Based on my experience with CMM in Budva, Montenegro, I can say that they are reliable, fast, and they deliver what they promise. They take really good care of their clients. For instance, I was offered a lift from the airport, and they would take me back and forth from Tivat to Budva and Becici to see various properties. They would answer all of my questions and respond promptly. They have an excellent team: Katarina, Alexander, Natasha, Martin and some other guys whose names I don’t remember. Katarina, my wonderful agent, went to every length to help me find a perfect home. Unfortunately, my situation changed and I had to postpone my relocation to Montenegro.
  I would strongly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a property in Montenegro.

• We were introduced to CMM by friends who had already done research on Montenegro and CMM. We purchased our apartment in Dobrota, just outside Kotor, all remotely from South Africa, during the lockdown. Everything was seamless without any problems at all. All the CMM departments work together well from the sales team, head office, legal, interior design and rental department. Every detail was well communicated with an abundance of zoom meetings, videos, emails etc
  We are thrilled with the outcome and enjoyed working with the CMM team. They were incredibly professional.
  After sales service is also excellent as we move into the rental phase of the apartment and over all management of the apartment including maintenance.
  We have been directly and indirectly involved with many houses/apartments all over the world and this was the up there with the best service we have received.
  Thanks to everyone we dealt with at CMM it has been an absolute pleasure dealing with you all. We look forward too many happy years working with you on our rental.

• Last year we decided to find a new home close to the sea. It was quite difficult in the beginning to make the right choice. Once we found CMM Company was a great luck! We immediately received detailed consultation on the country and purchase opportunities. Being attracted by Kotor - one of the most amazing parts of the coast, we decided to take a family trip and maybe make our dream of new home come true. As just discoverers of Montenegro, we were accepted like at home which was a one more pleasant surprise. The most important, we received all detailed information about country regions and procedure of buying property during the first few days. And how beautiful the car journeys were! Difficult choice, but when you find the home you want you can't refuse it. CMM did best to help us with this finding! All the purchase procedure passed well with CMM professional work! Now we are happy owners of a wonderful house with a Kotor bay view, being perfectly served by CMM Management company (of course, we've chosen CMM as professional house manager). Hope our friends and relatives would also move to Montenegro with the CMM help soon !!!
