Things to Do  

A walk around town

A walk around town, Bar

 maykal Says:  If you've got time to kill in Bar, and not much luggage to weigh you down, take a walk into the centre of town and down to the waterfront. The center of Bar is full of high-risery, dull and grey (especially if you've just come from Albania, where most of the blocks have been... 

Bartula

Bartula, Bar

 JLBG Says:  Under the city walls of the old city of Stari Bar, on the south, the village of Bartule (or is it a hamlet, part of Stari Bar ?) is half hidden by a thick net of electric wires and sits discreetly in the tiny valley of river Vru&#269a. Next time we come to Stari Bar, I would...

I was happy to find at least one place open to buy me a quick snack. In this case it was the unavoidable Cevapi sandwich (bread with salad and small sausages, 5 to be precise). Hooray! Price was 1,5€

Favorite Dish: Cevapi

Finding the bus and train stations in Bar, Bar

 hilg Says:  We arrived in Bar by bus from Kotor (about two hours). We wanted to leave our cases in the Left Luggage and found a door labelled 'Garderoba'. However, it looked dusty and as if it had been unused for a long time. We asked at the ticket counter, and they called for someone... 

The Offices of the harbor

The Offices of the harbor, Bar

 JLBG Says:  The harbor offices are working in a long, one level building; On arrival, you have nothing to do in the building, but I guess that, as well as in Ancona, on departure, you find inside the offices of the ferry company(ies) and the custom and polices offices. On arrival,...

Sveti Stefan 1

Sveti Stefan 1, Bar

 JLBG Says:  Already moored at the next quay, stands the Sveti Stefan 1, actually Sveti Stefan. She is registered in Nassau ! I have not checked that, but I suppose that the Sveti Stefan 2 is also registered in Nassau. The harbor does not seem very busy and there are no other ferries or... 

Pilot boat.

Pilot boat., Bar

 JLBG Says:  At the entrance into the harbor, the pilot, a towboat named Sozina comes by the Sveti Stefan 2 but does not seem to take part directly into the maneuvering and only makes round on our port side. I suppose she is there just "in case" and because this is the rule but the...

 JLBG Says:  In the whole Balkans, including countries from ex-Yugoslavia, Albania and Greece, death announcements are fastened on trees, walls, etc, of the city. If I took this photo, it is because these five death announcements show the various populations living in Stari Bar.On top,...

Passports and identity cards are controlled on board of the Sveti Stefan 2 and a post says in Serbian :
"Kontrola paso?a i karata" which means "control of passports and ID cards.
Underneath, it bluntly says "passengers heck-in" ! Hectic, isn't it ?
