Things to Do  

Rose on the Lustica Peninsula

Rose on the Lustica Peninsula, Prcanj

 davesut Says:  Not worth a page on its own but we travelled to Rose on the edge of the Lustica Peninsula for an evening. This small village had a quayside front with no traffic. You have to park on the road on the edge of the village and walk in, it will take you about 2 minutes to walk.... 

A trip to Risan

A trip to Risan, Prcanj

 davesut Says:  We went to Risan to see the mosiacs. See my Risan page here. 

Go to Kotor

Go to Kotor, Prcanj

 davesut Says:  Kotor is between 5 and 8 km from Prcanj, depending on which part of the town you start from. Kotor is the town that dominates this part of the bay. All roads lead to Kotor from Prcanj. I should rephrase that and state that the one* road in Prcanj leads to Kotor. We took a... 

A trip to Przno Beach

A trip to Przno Beach, Prcanj

 davesut Says:  This is a popular beach and rightly so. The beach is found on the Lustica Peninsula and is well signposted. The road takes you right into the car park, there is no view of the beach from the road. You enter the car park, pay if necessary and get out...still no view of the... 

Gospa od Andola

Gospa od Andola, Prcanj

 davesut Says:  At the top end of Stoliv there is a nearly hidden sign to this old and ruined chapel. A short little walk to the chapel gives a nice view over the bay over toward Perast. There were a couple of people fishing when we got there. A few other people arrived to take advantage of... 

Watch the cruise ships

Watch the cruise ships, Prcanj

 davesut Says:  One thing you can see from Perast is the cruise ships that make their way to Kotor on a daily basis. If you time your visit to Kotor right you can avoid the cruise ships crowds and the evening visitors. We found the best time to be in Kotor old town was about 4pm. 

Go for a hike

Go for a hike, Prcanj

 davesut Says:  There a number of pathways that are marked out that lead away from the bay front and into the hills behind. They are signposted with green signs and hikers pics. The one that I took to was a walk to Gornja (Upper) Stoliv, a barely inhabited old village. It was uphill for... 

Go to Church

Go to Church, Prcanj

 davesut Says:  Prcanj has a number of churches but dominating the central part of the town is the Church of the Birth of our Lady (Crkva Rodena Bogorodice). It has a rather grand stairway leading up. The view from the terrace is also very nice and worth the effort to get to the top. It is... 

Go for a swim

Go for a swim, Prcanj

 davesut Says:  There are plenty of places to go for a dip in the Bay along the single track road. There are a terraces along the road and a few small areas where you can walk into the sea. On our stay, many people just plonked down on the quayside.The main beach is at the north end of... 

Facilities to get by

Facilities to get by, Prcanj

 davesut Says:  You can get by in Prcanj very easily. There are a few 'markets' or local stores that sell fresh fruit and veg, bread, cooked meats, milk and diary products and other foodstuffs and essentials. We found this one close to the Lantern restaurant the best laid out and with some...

 peterdhduncan Says:  The Hotel Splendido, which is across the road from the Bokeljski Dvori Hotel where we were staying, has a superb terrace fronting onto the bay with a swimming pool and sunbeds, (including large four-poster ones!), which we were able to use for 8 euros a day with towels...

Hotel Splendido: Relaxing view

Hotel Splendido: Relaxing view, Prcanj

 davesut Says:  This restaurant was part of the Hotel Splendido. There is no real indication that it is there from the hotel entrance but the staff were very helpful and directed us to the terrace. The draw of this place is definitely the view. The hotel is built on the bay side of the road... 

Lantern Konoba

Lantern Konoba, Prcanj

 davesut Says:  We did not eat here but as the place was close to our accommodation, we ended up here for an evening drink. One night it was cool and we ended up inside which was great, a good vibe as they say. Local draught beer on sale as well as bottles, spirits and soft drinks.Food menu...

The Bokeljski Dvori Hotel Restaurant

The Bokeljski Dvori Hotel Restaurant, Prcanj

 peterdhduncan Says:  The Bokeljski Dvori Hotel is recommended as a place to stay in the Bradt Guide to Montenegro. During our visit to Montenegro in 2007, we stopped there for dinner one evening. From the terrace restaurant at the front of the hotel, there is a very extensive view over the bay... 

Restaurant Tramontana

Restaurant Tramontana, Prcanj

 peterdhduncan Says:  The Restaurant Tramontana is situated at the front of the Hotel Splendido looking out over the bay. On the one occasion that we ate there, we sat at a table on the terrace close to the water, and the position, food and service were all superb: definitely one of the best...
