Mountainous Montenegro: Volume One
In Volume 1 you can find: an overview of the package we booked; a review of the Palmon Bay Hotel, including our fancy Superior Double Room and the beautiful Beach Club; our Spa experience; some useful Montenegrin to get you started! Montenegro means the Black Mountain and the scenery was truly stunning, especially from the rooftop terrace bar – made it worth it to pay 6€ for a beer. This was my first time to Montengro in June 2023 and we had an amazing week in the sun. I can’t wait to tell you all about it!
