Montenegro Travel

Montenegro – known as the ‘Black Pearl’ of the Balkans and the second youngest country in the world (being just three years old) – has been introduced into HF Holidays’ 2010 walking programme for the first time so that its guests can experience the country before it becomes a major tourist destination.

Discover the country’s outstanding scenery – untouched landscapes, dramatic mountains and a beautiful coastline – and culture on this seven-night guided walking holiday which offers the option of easier or harder walks.

Highlights include the mighty Kotor fjord – the southernmost fjord in the world – the alpine meadows of the Lovcen National Park and the ancient trails around Lake Skadar as well as a boat trip on the lake.

Available with departures in April, May, September and October, the cost is from £529 per person, land-only or from £659 inclusive of return Gatwick flights and transfers.

These twin-share prices include seven nights’ half-board accommodation at the four-star Hotel Rivijera – situated just 30m from the beach in the seaside town of Petrovac – the full programme of guided walks and the services of a walking guide.
