Living in southern Croatia provides the perfect opportunity to travel to neighboring countries like Montenegro. Montenegro, or Crna Gora in Croatian, means “black mountains,” and refers to the black pine tree forests of the north. Montenegro is only the size of Connecticut, making it easy to explore.
Check out the below pictures from Perast (including the Our Lady of the Rock island) and the old city of Kotor (including some traditional Montenegrin cake from Forza).

Thank you for another interesting article about places worth visiting. Most people are familiar with the more popular tourist destinations (European capitals, the Caribbean, America's West Coast, etc.). It's good that someone is able to search out some of the less well known places in the world such as the part of Europe that used to be known as the Balkans. The short articles and photos are excellent and really give what the writer Lawrence Durrell used to call a "Sense of Place". Most enjoyable. Please keep posting.
