Montenegro is Awarded 41 ‘Blue Flag’ Sites for 2023

29.06.2023

The prestigious ‘Blue Flag’ award is given to Beaches, Marina’s and Boat Tour companies that have met a strict set of environmental, educational, safety and accessibility criteria as set by the Foundation for Enrivonmental Organization based in Copenhagen. The voluntary scheme which has been in operation for 35 years promotes pure water, clean coasts, safety and access for all, with many countries working hard to ensure they meet requirements as a ‘Blue Flag’ award can significantly increase tourism to the area.

In Montenegro’s case, it has over 200km of coastline with a host of glorious beaches, some of which are the most picturesque in the world with their turquoise waters, sandy shores, and stunning backdrops. Having invested significant amounts of money in Tourism over the last few years it’s wonderful to see the returns given that 41 sites in Montenegro have the Blue Flag for 2023, which includes 40 beaches and 1 Marina. It’s even more impressive given that the Blue Flag is not guaranteed each year and the same site needs to prove every time that they are eligible and have met the demands of the organization.

Spain, Greece & Turkey are placed first, second and third in the list for the greatest number of Sites, with Spain being awarded 731 Blue Flags, Greece 641, and Turkey 588. Montenegro appears 17th on the list out of a possible 49 countries. The key factor here for Montenegro however is how their Blue Flag numbers have grown rapidly over the last decade. If you look back to 2015 for example, only 18 sites in Montenegro met the standard, that increased to 29 in 2019, 32 in 2020, 38 in 2022 and 41 in 2023.

Here's just a few examples of some of the Blue Flag beaches you’ll find across Montenegro, Plavi Horizonti and Kalardovo  in Tivat, San Trope, Dukley, Kamenovo, Pura Vida & Lucice in Budva, Vela and Centar Sutomore in Bar, and lastly, Copacabana, Evropa, Hills and Mojito in Ulcinj.

• 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 !!!
