Vacation in Montenegro is optimal in terms of quality and price. For many, the country in the west of the Balkan Peninsula has become an excellent alternative to the Black Sea and Crimean resorts.
Seasonality of prices
Montenegro lies in the temperate continental climate zone. It is not always warm in it, and therefore the price level changes from season to season. Tours to the resorts of Montenegro are sold from mid-spring to the end of October. In the low season, which lasts from late autumn to March, tours are 25-40% cheaper than during the peak tourist season.
Prices for holidays in Montenegro in 2021 reach their maximum in the second half of summer. When demand is high, the cost of hotel rooms, beach activities, excursions, meals and car rentals skyrocket. Even owners of private housing, who are usually ready to give in to guests, prefer to rent apartments and villas for rent during the peak season.
High prices do not suit everyone. Tourists who want to save money try to come to rest in Montenegro in early summer and early autumn. At this time, the weather is sunny, the sea is perfectly warmed up for swimming, and prices are lower than in July and August.
If you are planning to go on vacation to Montenegro in 2021, keep in mind that Budva and Sveti Stefan are famous for their high prices. More budget vacations are offered by the resorts of Boko-Kotor Bay.
