Many think of Connecticut-size Montenegro as a brief add-on to the end of a Croatia itinerary, which it can be. But the scenically spectacular country also stands alone as a destination, one that’s easily accessible from Dubrovnik’s international airport. It’s no problem to fill an action-packed week (or two) exploring its walled Venetian cities, abandoned Austro-Hungarian fortresses, sandy beaches, mountainside wineries and the fjordlike Boka Bay. The joys of Montenegro are no secret to Europeans, who now flock to the coast. The robust tourism has encouraged the opening of several luxury resorts along the Adriatic. Combining our two recommended properties would make for an ideal itinerary.
