Montenegro, a country with beautiful nature that can be called a 'hidden gem of Europe'. We start our journey in Kotor, the center of commerce and art in the Middle Ages. We get a glimpse of the architecture and culture of the Venetian Republic at Trg od Oruzja. We head to the Ladder of Kotor, a recently famous hiking trail. As we climb the winding mountain path, we arrive at the St. John Fortress, which offers a panoramic view of Kotor. On the way down, we stop by a mountain hut in the village below the fortress to rest. We taste rakia, a traditional liquor, and börek, a traditional pie, with the owners. We head to Perast on the Adriatic coast. It is said that Our Lady of the Rocks was created by a fisherman who found a holy fire on a reef and filled in the surrounding rocks. We visit the monastery on the island and see the statue of the Virgin and Child that the fisherman found. Budva, a coastal town known as the 'Jewel of the Adriatic'. Visit a fourth-generation fisherman's restaurant and taste freshly caught seafood. Lovcen, the origin of Montenegro, meaning 'black mountain'. At the top is the mausoleum of Petar II Petrović Negosi, the former king of Montenegro. Negosi was the first to enact laws, defended the territory from the Ottoman Empire, and has many other achievements, and is currently considered the most respected person in Montenegro. We will learn about the process of making Negosi prosciutto, a traditional Montenegrin ham, in Negusi, the hometown of Negosi. Mojkovac, a small mountain village in eastern Montenegro. Here, we will meet a craftsman who makes the gusle, a traditional Montenegrin instrument. We will end our trip by tasting country food prepared by the craftsman's wife. #WorldThemeTravel#FindHiddenEurope#Balkan3Countries#KotorOldCity#OrciaPlaza#St.John'sFort#MountainFood#TraditionalSakeTasting#VirginOfTheRocksIsland#Montenegro
