Montenegro is a country that ticks all the boxes; stunning mountains, sandy beaches on the crystal clear Adriatic Sea, historic old town centres, fantastic wine and tasty cuisine, friendly inviting people! The Centre for Sustainable Tourism Initiatives (CSTI) of Montenegro has been working to create a more ‘local’ experience for travellers to get out and see more of the country side. Travellers can now, through the partner company of CSTI, Montenegro Adventures, book a range of adventure and eco-based tours, village trekking, hiking, rafting… you name it!
