Approximately a three-hour flight from the UK is a stunning spot for hiking, exploring quaint towns, admiring gorgeous beaches and mountains – you’ll find them all in Montenegro. The picturesque spot may be small and a fairly new country – sandwiched between Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, Albania, and Herzegovina – but tourists say it is “underrated” and certainly a location worth travelling too.
