Montenegro
Montenegro is the smallest republic of the former Yugoslavia, but also one of the most diverse holiday destinations in all of Europe. Until 2006, the country was closely linked with Serbia in a union called Serbia-Montenegro and has since then (again) gone its own way.
Montenegro has almost 200 km of coastline with fjord-like inlets such as the Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotorska) as well as sandy beaches and crystal-clear, clean bays. The 13 km long sandy beach of Ulcinj (the longest sandy beach in the entire eastern Adriatic), near the Albanian border, is extremely well-known.
Sveti Stefan, the former fishing village and world-famous hotel destination visited by stars such as Sophia Loren, Claudia Schiffer and Sylvester Stallone, is an absolute highlight of the Mediterranean coast.
As Montenegro is not yet in the EU, roaming charges are exhorbitant, so it's worth buying a local SIM-card or e-sim
