Got a phone call within 10 minutes with price of €185 including breakfast and the owner is coming to pick us up ( 1 hour 20 minutes drive each way ) happy days !!!

Result. Some of the best food you will have down in the harbour and on the sea front.

In Zabljek now as the holiday comes to a close so thought I'd add my reflections on what we have seen so far (only logged on to see who the BFC signing was and to check the PNE game).

We stayed in Perast for a week, did Kotor 3 times, the mausoleum up Lovren and the beach twice on the coast around the other side of Tivat, with the forest fires literally raging around us while we bathed

We then zoomed up to Niksic, a hell hole of a town, couldn't get out quick enough, apparently it's a mafia hotspot. In Zablijek at Durmitor National Park at 1,500m for 4 days and went to a Tara Gorge viewpoint at Ceravac as well as driving across the stunning and vertiginous P-14. About to go to Kolasin for a day and Stevi Stefan before we fly home.

Some fantastic choices we made in the above list, none more so than Perast with half a dozen wonderful restaurants overlooking the bay (when I say overlooking, I mean reserving a table with the leg one inch from the water). Well worth fellow Clarets doing some of this stuff as well as all the other tips on this thread.

Loved the locals too - stern, a bit humourless, especially up in the sticks, but hard working, friendly and helpful. Drive like maniacs. All of them seemed to want to talk about Brexit so it felt like Groundhog Day .

Get it booked Clarets

Never heard of Kotor before, just looked it up on images... wow!

Went on a cruise there. Amazing coastline all down the former Yugoslavia.
