Hi everyone!
I'm planning a trip to Croatia , Bosnia and Montenegro to visit WHS + TWHS. I concentrate on a "small" area as there are many WHS (and even more TWHS). So i'm NOT including northern sites in either country.

Is this a do-able itinerary? I have a rental car and the 2 day trips to the islands I plan to take the car OR will get a bike on the island.

Thu 23 Apr Arrive and to hotel in split
Fri 24 Apr Dag trip triogr sibenik primosten (oost)
Sat 25 Apr Split day
Sun 26 Apr To Brac and back to split
Mon 27 Apr To stari grad and back to split
Tue 28 Apr to mostar stay there (croatian stecci velika, Počitelj and end mostar)
Wed 29 Apr Day trip from mostar (blidinje? and more mostar
Thu 30 Apr To dubrovnik passing blagaj, polac, vjetrinaca cave
Fri 1 May Ston + korcula back to Dubrovnik
Sat 2 May To Ulcinj + bar to podcorica
Sun 3 May Doclea (podcorica) cetinji to Kotor
Mon 4 May Day in Kotor to Dubrovnik
Tue 5 May See dubrovnik and depart evening?
Wed 6 may Or depart here?

I don't think the TWHS are particularly interesting in this area, so personally I wouldn't devote so much time to them.
Are you doing Durmitor NP as well?

I've only done the first half of your trip Split to Mostar and that is broadly how much time we gave everything (though we didn't go to Brac and stayed overnight in Å ibenik because if logistics, though our night there ended up being a highlight).

If you have your own car then yeah I think that looks like a good amount of time, not too rushed, but not a wasted day.

Primo stem is a nice place to stop on the drive from Trogir to Å ibenik, but I still can't really work out if we saw the vineyards.

One thing I will say is that Saturday in Split was very busy (we visited in October), much more so than the Thursday when we first arrived.

Durmitor doesn't fit in my schedule as it's now. I plan to return one day to do north montenegro, and also that bridge in bosnia visegrad plus serbia (Sarajevo to Belgrade, towards Nis and then Kosovo back up including north-east montenegro. And I hope to have then 2 weeks with 3 weekends. I'm stuck with May school holidays here that run from thursday to tuesday (so just 2 weekends). really annoying.

also, I have the family with me and they don't want to change hotel every day. so; this was kind of a middle thing.

but, I could skip the montenegro TWHS completely and go to Durmitor NP of course. So 2-3 may do Durmitor NP. Have to see but honestly my idea later could be sarajevo - visegrad to Durmitor. then from there drive into Serbia.


Ok! i have options there the change a day trip. Tnx for the input.

(There is another Montenegro topic under "how do I reach Aldabra" which actually fits my question, but I have preferred using a country topic)

I was looking at the ferry connections between Montenegro and Italy and I am perplexed, so wondered if anybody has a clearer picture.

The main problem is that it appears that there are no ferries. Many sources (online and guidebooks) point to montenegrolines.com, but now one is redirected to another company which does not operate to Montenegro. I knew of Adria ferries, but they are showing only 2025 schedules from Bar to Bari/Ancona, and they seem to only connect Durrës now.

So, are ferries between Montenegro and Italy dead for this year?! I took them for granted, at least in the high season... I think we are also prety close to that season to have schedules.

PS: looking for "Montenegro lines", one also finds a company with the same name in the Philippines. ...

Update:

With some more search I found this brief notice, of April, stating that there are indeed no connections between Montenegro and Italy this year (and possibly also next year). There are no available ships and a dock in Bar needs repair. Sigh... I simply cannot believe it.

You could go from Dubrovnik (which lies close to Kotor) - did that ride to Bari a few months ago.

That one will stay for sure. It is however unfortunate that Dubrovnik is not connected to Ancona, so the only two ports on the east coast to reach Ancona are Durrës and Split... it's quite the gap. Bari is nice but it implies going up the whole peninsula, which is not the more convenient route.

Reaching Durrës could be another possibility, but it is very annoying that (in theory)* by car you have to buy a 50€ insurance for basically less than one day, if you don't have other goals in the region (I haven't).

* I did not do it last year and was not stopped by the police, but it is stil la little unnerving.
