Route

1. Embark on a journey through centuries of history in the Old Town of Bar, where the timeless love story of Princess Kosara and the imprisoned Prince Vladimir still echoes among ancient stones. Older than Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, their tale unites the Balkans in a shared heritage, kept alive in a city that has honored St. John Vladimir, its protector, for over 1,000 years. The Old Town of Bar, Montenegro’s largest fortress, stands apart from other Mediterranean cities. Just five kilometers from the sea and nestled at the foot of Mount Rumija, it rises dramatically on a steep cliff, full of mystique. Its walls reflect the legacy of diverse civilizations through architecture, religion, and culture. With AVE Tours, uncover the enduring legend of Kosara and Vladimir—a love born in captivity. Explore how this ancient tale shaped Balkan identity and why the cult of St. John Vladimir remains strong on Mount Rumija after a millennium.

About Budva

Budva, on Montenegro's Adriatic coast, is a walled old town on a small peninsula, with a long run of beaches on either side.

Budva's old town sits on a rocky peninsula, enclosed by stone walls with a citadel on the seaward point. Narrow lanes lead between small churches and squares, and the settlement is more than 2,500 years old, with Venetian rulers shaping its present look from the fifteenth century. A 1979 earthquake damaged much of it, and it was carefully rebuilt. Beaches such as Mogren are reached by a path along the sea.
