The very name conjures up images of romance and drama, and it's fascinating.

Land does not disappoint.

Sapphire edged beaches are spectacular as Croatia's rugged peaks as dramatic as Switzerland's canyons, nearly as deep as Colorado's palazzos, as elegant as those in Venice and towns as old as you're finding Greece all wrapped up in the country two thirds the size of Wales, this postcard perfect World Island village is a slice of Mediterranean heaven, lays on the beach and go crazy, taking photographs.

It's hard to get a bad shot.

This is the best way to see the beautiful Tara Canyon and its 1300 m high tree lined walls outside of April and May.

It's a relatively gentle experience, guiding through untouched landscapes, this gleaming white monastery ISS set into a seemingly sheer mountain wall 900 m above Zita Valley.

The complex includes atmospheric cave chapels, their rock walls covered in centuries old frescos, looping up and down the white knuckle moments caused by the narrowness of this road.

And it's sheer drops.

Ah, more than made up for by the jaw dropping views of the bay on the Adriatic Sea.

Beyond time travel back to a Europe of moated walled towns with stone churches on every square.

Qatar's old town has ALS that, but a truly dramatic setting may to June and September to October the best times to visit.

With plenty of sunshine and fewer crowds.

Travel costs in Montenegro can range from less than 80 euros a day if you choose dorms and budget meals over 180 euros a day for upmarket hotels and exotic dining.

Basses link all major towns, navigating Montenegro's narrow canyon side.

Roads in the hire car is not for the faint hearted.

You could drive a car across Montenegro in a day or spend a month for me.

Left wanting mall.

This land has sat on the border between East and West since the Roman Empire, and it's all the more interesting for its turbulent and fascinating past.
