Montenegro is a republic along southeastern coast of Adriatic sea in southeastern Europe. Its location is only 2-hour flight from Germany, at the same latitude as Mallorca. It borders with Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo and Albania. Montenegro was a part of Yugoslavia for 90 years, but it is independent again since 3rd of June, 2006. The balkan-country, with about 672 000 inhabitants and an area of 13 812 km² is one of the smaller states of Europe. The capital is Podgorica (formerly called Titograd). Montenegro is member of the United Nations, the OSCE and Council of Europe. In addition, Montenegro is a candidate for accession to the NATO and a candidate for accession to the European Union.
The small and tranquil village of Utjeha (in english: „solace”) is located about 10 km south of city of Bar in Montenegro right at the Adriatic coast. The beach of Utjeha is awarded with the „Blue Flag” for particularly well water quality and reachable in just a few minutes walk from the Apartments UTJEHA. The famous and well-known Velika plaža, the 13(!) km long sandy beach of Ulcinj is just 15 km away. Even there, the most of the beaches are awarded with the „Blue Flag”. A paradise, especially for children and water sports fans! Restaurants, shops and bakeries are available on site. The modern and vital town of Bar, with its port, shopping malls, bars, cafe's and a beautiful beach promenade is only a few minutes by car.
The citizens of Germany may enter, pass through and stay in Montenegro for up to 90 days with a valid passport without a visa. Also, they may enter and stay in Montenegro for up to 30 days with a valid identity card. "Green insurance card" is necessary when entering with a motor vehicle
The official currency in Montenegro is EURO. In 1999, the German Mark was introduced as the offical currency and in the course of the conversion of the German Mark to the EURO, the EURO has been used since 2002 as the official national currency. Since the country is not participating in the European Monetary Union, it has not the right to mint their own EURO coins. The supply of cash (ATM) is given in all cities. Credit cards (Master-/Visacard etc.) are accepted in gas stations and supermarkets, and also in many restaurants as well.
The climate in Montenegro is mediterranean and moderate, with subtropical vegetation. In summer, the temperatures at the Adriatic coast will reach mediterranean level. The winter at the coast is gentle, without snow and the summers are dry and warm. Autumn is usually very moderate and the spring often begins very early. In the outback of Montenegro the cliamte is more continental. Due to the gentle climate, the apartments are available all around the year.The bathing season at the montenegrin Adriatic coast begins in mid-May and goes until mid-October.

Many roads leads to Montenegro!
The easiest and most pleasant way is to travel by aircraft. The Montenegrin airline company "Montenegro Airlines" operates with their modern fleet in the most important centers in Europe non-stop. In high-season they fly to Frankfurt every day. The flight from Frankfurt to Podgorica takes about 2 hours. Alternatively, there are flights with other airlines with stops in Vienna, Ljubljana (Laibach), or Zagreb. Destination airports in Montenegro are Podgorica and Tivat.
Sometimes a flight to Croatia‘s Dubrovnik can be interesting as well. Some low-cost carriers sometimes offer cheap prices for that destination, so it may be worthwhile in spite of the longer transfer to the apartment.
When booking your flight, we are happy to help you!
We offer also a transfer service from and to the airport to our guests at special rates as well.
Even when traveling by car, we are available for you with all our experience and tips.
Depending on your wishes, there are different routes possible, for via Austria-Slovenia-Croatia or Bosnia-Herzegovina or Serbia.
Do not rely on a route calculated by one of the well-known websites. The identified routes there are often not favorable and the specified travel time is too optimistic.
In any case, an overnight stay on the way is recommended to arrive safe and relaxed at your holiday destination.
