Bellavista Square Image: Herceg Novi was once the darling holiday spot of Yugoslavia. Fully 30% of the holiday-makers in Montenegro came to Herceg Novi. They'd come from all over Europe to soak in the sun and cover themselves with the healing mud in Igalo. These days, the town is often bypassed for more glamorous Montenegrin holiday spots, but for those intrepid adventurers looking to avoid the most popular holiday destinations, Herceg Novi proves to be just what they're looking for. Located at the entrance to the , Herceg Novi is a relaxed place for a holiday in Montenegro. You can shuttle yourself between the beach and hotel room, take boat tours and spend the balmy evenings strolling the seaside, licking gelato cones. It's the quintessential European summer holiday. Herceg Novi is blessed with beaches, a quaint old town and it's an easy day trip from here to Dubrovnik in Croatia. So if you'd like to escape the crowds and chill out in the 'City of Sun', follow me! And this reminds me that Herceg Novi has another nickname — the City of Stairs. The Clock Tower In the old town you can't miss the clock tower, built by the Ottoman Turks in 1667. Taking the staircase underneath the tower will bring you to Belavista Square. On your way up, keep an eye open for a hole in the wall bookshop. This tiny cove is a rare treasure trove where you can pick up English versions of books written by well-known Yugoslav writers like Ivo Andric's and Momo Kapor's. This one was never translated into Serbian, which is understandable when you read it. It's pretty accurate though... There's another interesting book shop just before the clock tower, in the main square, called Salt Bookstore. You'll also find interesting English-language books here like. Kanli Kula Image: From Bella Vista you can take another flight of stairs up to Kanli Kula. The name means 'Bloody Tower' and it was built by the ruling Ottoman Turks in the 16th century. It's been damaged and repaired several times by the ruling Ottoman Turks and Venetians and today it's a great spot to get panoramic views of the whole of the Herceg Novi coastline. In July Kanli Kula is the location of Suncane Skale, a music festival. It's also used for concerts and outdoor film screenings throughout the year. Unfortunately, like many Montenegrin attractions, there are no informational signs about Kanli Kula onsite, nor do you get any information brochures with your entrance fee. To get there, you can take a staircase from the lower one way road or cross the small bridge from the old town. Forte Mare dates back to the founding of Herceg Novi in the 14th century when it was founded by King Tvrtko of Hercegnovina. It used to be part of a larger citadel, but a large portion of it fell into the sea during an earthquake in 1979 and it's still there. You can see it when you walk along the promenade. Like Kanli Kula, you'll get fabulous views of the coastline and that's the main attraction. This is the best place to stock up on fresh produce. You'll find local fruit and vegetables, flowers, proscuitto, homemade cheeses and olive oil. You'll be buying your food from the person who grew or made it - quite often a 'baba' grandmother who comes to town every day to sell her produce. But be aware that not all produce here will be 'domaci' domestic , look for the 'domaci' sign and stick to seasonal, local produce. I recommend: figs in summer, olives, honey, olive oil in recycled bottles, rounds of cheese, lettuces, tomatoes, cucumbers, dirty potatoes, eggs, spring onions and capsicums. Opening hours : Every day except Sunday 8am - 2pm. This area is generally full of people all day and all night and in Igalo, the music from the clubs and outdoor bars will be thumping until at least 1am.

You can get ice cream or dinner at one of the many restaurants and all the shops down here are open until at least 10pm. In Igalo there are several bars and clubs like La Bamba and Casa for the younger set. Beaches There are so many beaches here to choose from, all offer loungers and sun umbrellas and in Igalo there are several with play equipment. Small pebbles that's good for kids. The sandy bottom and abundance of crabs, fish and shellfish make this a kids' favourite. But beware that you might come across a few topless babas grandmas who've been coming here every summer since, well since the SFRY. Kayaking Herceg Novi is great place to go kayaking.

Read More: Herceg Novi Museum As you walk along the one-way road from the old town towards Igalo, you'll come to a narrow street and sign for the 'musee' - the town museum. This 18th century building was bequeathed to Herceg Novi with the stipulation that it become a museum by local resident Mirko Komnenovic 1870 - 1941. The stately building and gardens house archaeological, historical, ethnological and religious collections. Of course there are plenty showing Herceg Novi's proud sea-faring past and the garden, although underwhelming to look at, is made up of over 100 carefully chosen Mediterranean and subtropical plants. It's well worth spending an hour here if you're interested in history. It's a popular attraction for Serbian and Russian guests and is always busy during religious holidays. The monastery dates back to 1030 and has a small museum. If you walk up the path past the graveyard, you'll be rewarded with beautiful views of the bay and Herceg Novi. While you're up there, why not stop at Savina Winery and try some of their wines? Boat Trips Lustica Boat Trips Boats depart from the marina and head over to Rose the little village right opposite on the other side of the bay and all day long. This used to be a prison and you can walk around the ruins and see what it used to be like. Bring your goggles or snorkel mask for this. The boats return you to Herceg Novi at around 5pm. You can also get speed boats over to Rose, Zanjice and Miriste beaches if you want to just spend the whole day there. Tennis Are you a keen tennis player? In Topla, between the town and Igalo you'll find clay courts which are open to the public during the day and into the evening.

Local's Tip: In Montenegro you get in the back door of the bus and pay the conductor sitting there.

Look for the sign saying 'Igalo - Kamenari - Igalo' in the front of the bus. The bus goes on the lower road past the old town on the way to Kamenari and along the main road on the return journey.
