Duration

2-3 hours

Country

Montenegro

The uniqueness of this tour lies in the perspective you gain and the stories shared by your local guide. You will visit monasteries that have held great importance for coastal tribes for centuries. These places remain largely untouched by mass tourism, preserving their charm, peaceful surroundings, and deep historical value. Our first stop is Praskvica Monastery, located above Sveti Stefan, the most luxurious resort in Montenegro. This monastery represents the spiritual center of the Paštrovići tribe, with origins dating back to 1051. After exploring the site, we continue towards Rustovo Monastery, a serene women’s monastery of the Orthodox Church dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin. Here, you will have a unique opportunity to meet the nuns, discover handmade local products and authentic souvenirs, and experience the tranquility of monastery life. To complete the visit, you will be offered traditional homemade rahat lokum, adding a special and memorable local touch.
