Still relatively untouched by tourism, Bosnia-Herzegovina is as authentic and charming as they come, with oodles of natural beauty thrown in for good measure. Karst scenery sits side by side with forested mountains and bright green rivers, lakes and waterfalls, and the countryside is dotted with charming stone towns where eastern and western cultures collide, creating a fascinating mix. While its recent history is chequered with the violence of war in the 1990s, this divided country invites visitors with open arms and leaves a lasting impression of warmth.<\/p>\n
Montenegro may be small but it certainly packs a punch. Its mountainous interior is hemmed in by the turquoise waters of the Adriatic lapping at its shores, which are laden with beautiful churches, limestone cliffs and medieval stone villages. Like neighbouring Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro sits on the border of east and west, making it culturally fascinating. Ornate Catholic churches sit alongside the impressive spinnerets of Muslim mosques and mosaic tiled Roman villas, while years under communist rule have also left their mark. It\u2019s still easy to find a quiet and untouched corner of this charming country, and one where you\u2019ll likely be spoiled with a riot of colours and incredible forest and mountain scenery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3857,"template":"","format":"standard","country_category":[195],"when-filter":[],"type-filter":[],"who-filter":[],"appeal-filter":[],"class_list":["post-4146","destination","type-destination","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","country_category-europe-en-us"],"yoast_head":"\n
