Summer is starting, with June nearly on us, and it is hot and dry.

As you can see these pictures, Montenegro is beautiful. The village of Sveti Stefan on its peninsular is the iconic image of the country, on the Adriatic coast of Montenegro about 6 km south of Budva. It is now an Aman Sveti Stefan resort, a 5-star franchise of the international group of Aman, so sadly one cannot just visit the place without being a guest; everything is private and very expensive. Famous actors and actresses used to stay there.

Mövenpick Residences Teuta, in Risan, pays homage to the legendary Illyrian Queen Teuta, who famously used Risan as the location for her summer palace and a strategic stronghold some 200 years B.C. Visitors to Risan can have a drink at the beach bar, a meal and more.
