Why you should make Montenegro your vacation spot after lockdown

August 19, 2020 by Jeremy

It can be recalled that Montenegro opened its borders on June 1st and was one of the first countries to do so. This came after the country was declared COVID-19 free in May. Regardless, it is an ideal destination for tourists with cliches that surround it, such as its red-tiled roofs, turquoise waters, and amazing sceneries.

These are amazing sights and scenes but the ideal spot for tourists is a hotel near the casino where the highly acclaimed movie Casino Royale was filmed. It is known as the Aman Sveti Stefan and is the lust of a significant number of tourists that it may even be more popular than the country itself amongst tourists.

A view from the mountain makes the hotel appear like a flattened Mont-St-Michel or probably a luxury Alcatraz with its distinctive local red-tile roofs and stone buildings, alongside cedar trees and palm trees. It is located on an island that’s around a hundred yards offshore.

It was formerly a fortified village that was built in the 15th century to enhance protection against marauding Turkish galleys. However, in the last fifty years, it has been established as arguably the most exclusive hotel on the Adriatic.

You can access the hotel through various means, one of which is through a private speed boat that you can catch a glimpse of from your bedroom. You could also catch a glimpse of a reliable online casino at https://www.casimba.com/en-gb/ and get access to a wide selection of exciting games and offers. Back to the topic, this speed boat leads to Kings Beach which was formerly Marshal Tito’s holiday residence during the Communist era when the country was still a part of Yugoslavia. Well, it now passes for a hotel lodge and restaurant.

The interesting fact is that there is an even more exclusive Queen’s Beach near the King’s Beach. The Queen’s Beach can be described as a crescent bay that has golden sand and an emerald green sea that has cypress trees, near another red-roofed villa.

The villa also has its origins. It was the former summer residence of Queen Marija Karadjordjevic but is now a very high-end spa. The King’s Beach can be used by non-residents for a fee of 120 Euros daily but this is not the case with the Queen’s Beach, only hotel guests can use it.

This hotel appears to be the main catch of a visit to Montenegro. It comes with a mountainous interior alongside remote monasteries, river rapids, bears, and wolves. Recent investments have brought major development to the coast. Modernization has come to the fjord of Kotor that had a walled town when it was built as part of the Republic of Venice.

Regardless, the Aman Sveti Stefan hotel serves to help you experience Montenegro as it may have been if you had visited in the days before mass tourism. Although this adventure is expensive, my guess is you would love to reside in the same place where the likes of Sophia Loren and the likes used to spend time in the 1970s.

My name is Jeremy and I used to be a pretty high-up chef in New York City. I worked at a few high scale restaurants and loved it for many years. But then it began to feel like something was missing. After a short trip to Thailand, I knew what I had to do.

I came back to NYC, gave my work notice, packed up and headed out to the road. Since 2015, I've been backpacking around the world (and eating everything!!!). Thankfully with all the walking I do traveling, I've only gained a few pounds hahaha. Read More…
