Concierge.com, online home of the stylish travel magazine Conde Nast Traveler, has included Montenegro in its list of top destinations for 2008.
According to Concierge.com "...few travelers know this stretch of mountainous Adriatic coast with quiet beaches and picturesque fortress towns. But insiders are calling this the next Croatia or the new European Riviera—not shocking, since it was a haunt for jet-setters like Sophia Loren and Richard Burton in the '60s and '70s".
"Must-see" places include Budva, with its old harbor filled with fishing boats, its Roman ruins, and a new generation of bars and restaurants to enliven the seaside atmosphere and also the medieval coastal town of Kotor.

Montenegro Airlines are introducing direct flights from the UK's London Stansted to Tivat, on the Montenegrin coast, in May of this year.
Flights will operate on Wednesdays and Sundays between May 4th and October 22nd and will cost from 199 euros, excluding taxes. Whilst this may not be the cheapest option, it does significantly cut traveling time to most locations, making Montenegro a perfect destination for a long weekend - or just giving you more time to enjoy your holiday.
Call Montenegro Airlines on +382 81 9804 for further information.

If you travel anywhere this year, says Joanna Blythman, you should go to Montenegro.

"It's hard to think of anywhere else in Europe where I would find, or could afford, such an all-round blissful situation" writes Blythman in the Sunday Herald. The Boka Kotorska is " the finest natural pool imaginable" with clear water warmed up by weeks of reliably hot weather, and darting shoals of tiny fish. Precisely because it lacks sandy beaches, it has been spared the worst grey concrete developments. Instead is has a series of pontoons, jetties with steps, and narrow pebbly beachfront fringed by human-scale architecture.
The ancient town of Kotor has miraculously intact Baroque, Romanesque and Gothic buildings peeping out from the vertiginous city walls which bond it to the mountains. And importantly for Blythman, in the daily food market outside Kotor's ancient walls there will be "silvery whitebait and squid; smoked, dried Montenegrin ham sliced off the bone; handmade cheeses - perhaps preserved in oil or pressed with walnuts - and an explosion of fruit. In Montenegro, the sun-soaked apricots and peaches spurt juice down your chin and wrist, the watermelons split under the slightest pressure, the raspberries, brambles and multicoloured cherries explode with a flavour that sings out sun and growing methods that have barely changed over the centuries".
