Latest Herceg-Novi hotel reviews
The Monastery complex has 3 Churches and a monk's residential building. The oldest part is small Church of St. Sava (13th century). The small Church of the Assumption was built in 15th c. and possesses rich treasures from the Nemanjic period. Worth to mention is the painting from 1455 done by the famous Kotor painter Lovro Marinov Dobricevic.
The big church of the Assumption was built between 1777 and 1799 by builder Nikola Foretic.
Besides the treasures and frescos, the exeptional work on stone can be seen too.

Savina Monastery reflects the harmony of arhitectual and natural beauty. It is situated about 2 km from Herceg Novi towords Meljine. On the way up the hill you will pass trough the mediteranian woods of pine, palm, oak and cypress trees. When you get there you will be rewarded with the stuning views. The blue clor of te sea in the contrast to the white structure of the Monastery. Fantastic!!!

Savina Monastery and the St. Save Serbian Orthodox church overlook the Bay of Kotor, offering a beautiful view for its residents.
This picture was taken just before sunrise and shows the peaceful resting spot of the residents of the Savina. I have a thing for cemeteries - I find I get good GSM reception there, so I was making an a Planetfone call when I took this picture. I made sure I didn't wake the dead.

Topla (meaning warm) is half way between Herceg Novi and Igalo There are two churches located in Topla: St George's church (crkva Svetog Djordja) and St Salvation's church (crkva Svetog spasa). An old school building is located near the Church of St. Salvation. This old building, holds the memories of the boyhood days of the Montenegrin poet and bishop Petar II Petrovic Njegos. Here he was taught by the monk Josip Todorovic, finished primary school, and became the poet and the creator of today's modern Montenegro.

We rented a car one day and took a ride along the Montenegro Coast. We visited Budva, main entertainment and festival centre on our way. Our main destination was little island 'Sveti Stefan'(Saint Stefan).
That is actually the biggest attraction in this area. It used to be a fishing village, and around 40 years ago it got transformed into a fancy hotel-town with luxurious villas and appartments. Each one is different. Elderly still talk about the times when Sofia Loren and other celebrities were visiting this paradise.
Quality of service and food used to be very high, I am not sure about nowadays. On the side opposite of the beach there is an outdoor pool - only for guests, big terrace, and many historical monuments are situated all around.
Staying here now is affordable, and in September one of these appartments rents for around 70DM per day.

Yes, this place really exists on Earth. This is a place you can reach only by boat. You have to wait for a wave to enter the place, and watch your head!
