The holiday will take place in Stari Bar, Bar, Montenegro. You will stay in a renovated olive mill in the beautiful old village of Stari Bar, Montenegro. Nestled in the valleys of southeast Montenegro, this venue is rich in culture and history, as well as being spectacularly beautiful, so you can explore the untouched mountain ranges within the area. If you have not visited Montenegro before, you are absolutely in for a treat. Unlike its neighbor, Croatia, Montenegro is relatively untouched by tourism but shares the same stunning coastline, scenery, and friendly people.

AdventureYogi has planned a week for you to explore all that Montenegro has to offer. Montenegro is half the size of Wales but in a relatively small area. You will be lucky to find an incredible coastline with unspoiled beaches, clear lakes in the national parks for wild swimming, rivers fit for kayaking, and mountains that are begging to be conquered. They can arrange day tours, hiking, cycling, and more for you so that you can take in all there is of this incredible country.

The food in Montenegro is special. Local, seasonal, and as fresh as it gets. AdventureYogi uses a combination of the local market, bakeries, delis, and small shops for their supplies. You can expect delicious salads with the most amazing tomatoes and olives, wholesome meals to nourish and fuel your adventures, and freshly baked bread.

They even sample some local sweet treats (the Baklava is amazing) for the perfect fix after hikes. You will enjoy brunch and a two-course evening meal while lunch will be at ‘home’ in the garden or even as a ‘packed picnic’ to take on your adventures. Of course, everything is vegetarian or vegan. They will cater to any dietary requirements so just let them know in advance.
