One method to secure a final dose of sunshine this year involves travelling to Montenegro, a hidden gem, boasting sapphire waters and excellent gastronomy where daily temperatures reach an average of 21C throughout October.
With easyJet Holidays announcing the launch of its fresh “Luxury Collection”, travellers have the choice to stay at the One&Only Portonovi resort positioned at Montenegro’s Boka Bay. Taking under three hours to fly from London, travellers to the Balkan country can enjoy historic medieval settlements and gorgeous landscapes in no time at all – and, for foodies, there’s a plethora of local dishes to try.
Influenced by its mountainous terrain and Adriatic coast, Montenegro’s cuisine offers an abundance of meat and fish-based dishes.
The national dish, Cevapi, consists of minced meat sausages typically served with flatbread and onions. Other culinary highlights include the renowned Njeguši prosciutto, an aged meat crafted from top-quality pork, and burek, a flaky savoury pastry.
Just an hour’s drive from Montenegro’s Boka Bay is the beautiful Plavi Horizonti beach in the Tivat municipality, bordered by lush greenery and stunning mountain views.
Its fine sand and horse-shoe cove shape makes it perfect for nervous swimmers and families as it has shallow waters you can see from each edge of the beach.
Garry Wilson, easyJet Holidays’ Chief Executive Officer, said: “The launch of our Luxury Collection reflects our ambition to redefine premium travel.
“Each hotel has been carefully hand-selected to provide an exceptional, effortless experience that exceeds the expectations of the most discerning travellers.”
Alternative accomodation can be found on the likes of travel comparison sites, such as Kayak, Loveholidays, jet2holidays, and booking.com.
