The agency Talas-M from Budva may help you experience all these amazing things during few unforgettable days in Montenegro! So close and so different.

A group of 120 bankers landed on the Podgorica airport and proceeded to the train station by bus. The Intercity train, where priganice (fried dough) and Montenegrin wine were served and the traditional music played on the accordion and guitar, took the guests to the town of Kolašin. Wonderful forest autumn colours and the blueness of the river Morača were spiced by a view to the Veliki most bridge across the Mala rijeka river and a picture-taking break in Boljari.

After arriving at the train station Kolašin, the guests enjoyed fresh mountain air as they walked to the hotel where cocktails were served.

In the evening, they went to dinner in the ski centre by SUVs and enjoyed Montenegrin delicacies in the warm mountain environment.

The next day, the group experienced adrenaline-boosting rafting in the Tara canyon, followed by a picnic on the riverside. Surrounded by the unique landscape, the guests tasted pork roasted on a skewer, famous Kolašin potatoes and Nikšićko beer cooled in the river.

The next challenge for the group was an independent SUV drive to Budva, with the help of road books containing certain tasks and maps. On the way to the coast, the guests visited the Morača monastery and passed through the Morača canyon and the capital city and reached the Skadarsko lake where local sommeliers presented Crmnica region wines to them.

After arriving to the hotel and a short break, the day ended with fish dinner at one of the most reputable restaurants in Budva and prize-awarding to the most successful participants of the road book quiz.

The third day of the stay was very dynamic, having the topic of the Montenegrin history. The guests again endeavoured to drive SUVs independently to Cetinje along curvy Montenegrin roads. After visiting the court of King Nikola and the monastery of Saint Petar Cetinjski, they conquered Jezerski vrh and visited the Njegoš mausoleum. At the foot of the stairway leading to one of the most important monuments in Montenegro, the guests were offered refreshment: canapés and champagne.
The mausoleum visit finished, the SUVs went to Njeguši, stopping in the Zlatarica village where a picnic-lunch was organised. In order not to make it a simple lunch in the nature and to let the guests fully experience the area, they were invited to test their strength and skills in the Knightly Games. After throwing stones from shoulders, long-jumping, rope-pulling and other traditional games, the guests continued their drive to Budva along a serpentine, watching the sunset above Boka kotorska bay. In their hotel rooms, they found surprise presents: a Montenegrin shawl made of natural silk for ladies and a Montenegrin cap for gentlemen – details the guests included in their evening clothes.

The gala dinner had traditional decoration as well. At the main entrance of the Budva Citadel, the guests were greeted by the glee club “Ispod volta” (under the vault). After the worm welcome coupled by the Mediterranean music and a glass of local champagne, a merry, lively group of traditional dancers and a group of Podgorica tambura players kept entertaining the guests.

Before leaving Montenegro, the group visited Kotor and the ‘Bride of the Adriatic’ in a very unusual way. In the cooperation of the Talas-M agency and the Women’s Association from Tivat, a local cuisine workshop was organised on the Kotor Citadel for the first time. The guests divided in teams first bought necessary ingredients and then took part in making local delicacies such as priganice, roštule (a cake), gnocchi and offered them to passers-by at the Kotor square Trg od oružja. As the workshop had a humanitarian character, the participants raised donations for the orphanage in Bijela by explaining the purpose to people who tasted their dishes. After the concert of the church choir “Jedinstvo” (unity) in the Saint Nikola church, the company president handed the donation to a representative of the orphanage   and the group sailed from the Kotor bay on the ‘water carriage’. The tasting of local dishes continued on the boat, where the guests had a local lobster called “baba” and the famous Dobrota cake.

After you have been presented this intense programme for all the senses, after amazing landscapes, delicious dishes and interesting ways to get to know a country and culture, we invite you to experience a part of the abundant offer of Montenegro as a MICE destination.
