Montenegro with children: Our road trip through the Balkans
This family's experience:

Activities: We stopped near Sibenik. We spent the morning at the beach and then drove to Dubrovnik. "In Croatia there are mostly stone beaches and in the sea you often find sea urchins." We bought water shoes for the little ones

Highlights: We loved the beach! We found a cheap apartment with parking. The water shoes were a great buy, making it easier for the kids to enjoy the beach ✨
