The rapidly developing tourist infrastructure of Montenegro is becoming a weighty argument in favor of recreation in this Balkan republic. To get to the local beaches on the Adriatic coast, you just need to buy a plane ticket and land at one of the airports in Montenegro. Which one should you choose? It all depends on the place of the intended rest.
Transaero Airlines makes direct flights to Montenegro, and with transfers in Europe, you can fly on board Montenegro Airlines, Adria, Austrian Airlines and some others. During the high beach season from April to September, in addition to regular Transaero flights, Russian travelers can use the services of S7 Airlines, which flies to Tivat.
