What we love about Ulcinj

Antonia

Adriatic Team Leader

Among its many beautiful beaches and finding this small town as a good base for a relaxed vacation, I was most impressed with Ulcinj citadel and medieval city walls which emerge literally out of the sea.

France, Benelux & Switzerland Team Leader

Ulcinj is a small and charming coastal town, mainly populated with some of the Albanian community. The geographical position in the vicinity of Albania is convenient for people that wish to visit two countries at the same time as we can conveniently organize a day trip to the nearby historical town of Shkoder. The town is known for its long beautiful beaches but what I liked the best are the beautiful views from the old town of Ulcinj overlooking the endless Adriatic sea.

Completely boutique, set up to your wishes, inexpensive, assistance always available, wonderful selection of hotels and English speaking guides. We were absolutely pleased by our mussel tour, our vineyard tour and especially the cooking tour. Everything went off like clockwork. We were able to add our extra side trips without difficulty. Antonia did a fabulous job and enjoyed meeting her in Dubrovnik.
