Thursday Boka Bay Samy Ibrahim Spa Manager Once you are in Regent Porto Montenegro, located in the very heart of Boka Bay, there is no excuse not to visit two hidden jewels of the Adriatic: stunning Our Lady of the Rocks and St George. Ten minutes long boat ride takes you to the most iconic church built in 17 th century on the artificial island which was made by citizens of Perast - the coast s prettiest Venetian village. This church is also a home to the small museum, which contains an assortment of stone monuments, frescos, and relics. Be sure to read up on the legend of the island s creation - an essential part of its magic. Your next stop Perast: This impeccably preserved, UNESCO protected hamlet was the last place on earth to fly the flag of the Venetian Republic. Today it is a jewel in the Boka Bay s crown and an ideal lunch spot. Intriguing shore line will take you to Kotor built between 12 th and 14 th century, known as the city of traders and sailors.

Friday Ribarsko Selo Restaurant Željko Knezović Executive Chef For those who are willing to discover a real taste of the Adriatic, a short boat trip to Žanjice beach set a terrific start for a truly unique experience. Famous for its pristine water and spectacular sunset, Žanjice is a home of one of a kind Ribarsko Selo restaurant. Elegant yet cozy setting and direct access to the beach deck is an ideal setup for a perfect summer day which is perfectly complemented by simple yet divine gastronomy concept which is based on the catch of the day. Every day between 11 and 12 am local fishermen visit the village and bring in the newly caught fish and sea food. Catch of the day concept is upgraded with fresh local ingredients and vegetables organically grown in nearby garden. The unmissable holiday spot 7
Saturday Pržno Cove Žana Zeković HR Manager Pržno Cove is one of Montenegro s most charming villages, originally a fishermen s village, and filled with history. The locals have preserved the traditional way of life and so you can still spot them coming back from the sea with their boats full of fish. This beach is ideal for family weekends where tasting the best local food is the must. Today, there are more visitors from all over the world visiting the restaurants, but the food is just as good. My recommendation: A scenic walk down the old path along the sea from Pržno to Sveti Stefan, through Miločer Park. The walk will take you by King s beach and Queen s beach where you will see Villa Miločer which was built almost 100 years ago and served as a residence for the royal family of Yugoslavia. `` The Adriatic as it used to be`` 8
