Learn more about Montenegro

How much do you know about Montenegro? Well, probably less than you should. The tourism market hasn’t really tapped in to Montenegro’s phenomenal beauty and diversity. And there’s a reason why it’s referred to as the “Hidden Pearl of the Mediterranean.” Along the coast is the Adriatic…inland there are dense forests and jaw-dropping glacial lakes. Now is the time to explore all that Montenegro has to offer.

Posted on May 22, 2007 by Steenie Harvey
If you agree $45,000 for a small apartment with sea views sounds reasonable, hurry across to Europe and the newly-independent country of Crna Gora.
