Choose September for a trip with a small child. In early autumn, there is no extreme heat on the coast, the sea is warm and there are few tourists. In addition, many cheap fruits and berries appear on the shelves during the velvet season.
Anastasia Efimova: "At the beginning of autumn, many fruits ripen: various varieties of figs, grapes, mulberries, melons, watermelons, nectarines."
According to Montenegrin laws, prices for tourist services are regulated by the state. In all agencies, the cost of excursions is almost the same. It makes no sense to guess!
