If you are coming to Montenegro for the first time from the direction of Dubrovnik, continue your journey towards the inner part of Boka, i.e. along the Bay of Kotor-Risan, you will be surprised by the unpredictability of the Adriatic highway, where on some parts of the road, due to the surrounding hills, it turns up to 90 degrees. Take special care of such pitfalls when driving on the highway in Kotor, Ljuto, Risno, and especially in Morinje. And in Morinje, after one of the similar curves, we will stop for a bit...

This small place is officially the best for camping in Montenegro, and it also has one of the best Montenegrin restaurants. The place is 30 kilometers from Herceg Hovo on the way to Kotor and is tucked deep into the fjord, where it is surrounded by the vertical sides of the mountain range. In the summer, when Morinj is completely bathed in the sun, it acquires incredible shades of green, yellow, and blue colors that seem to overflow and drown each other. Unlike summer, in winter here the sun sometimes does not rise for days or is quite shy.

The town of Morinj is permeated with water to such an extent that the composition of its name seems to symbolize salty sea and terrestrial fresh water. For this reason, through Morinj, you will come across a large number of old, but also restored small stone bridges that span the canals and tributaries of the freshwater basin, originating from the foot of the Sniježnica mountain. A resort in Morinje was named after them, "Stone bridge resort".

Nevertheless, Morinj is considered to be the largest settlement on the west coast of the Bay of Kotor-Risan, which is not only known as a tourist place but also because many sailors and sea captains come from here. The first school in the vernacular Serbian language was founded in 1803 precisely thanks to the local sailors who built it at their own expense, because in the past they were warriors and patrons at the same time. The school building still exists today, and the National Library was founded in 1843.

There is not just one Morinj, but as the locals emphasize Gornji and Donji. In recent years, Donji Morinj got new beaches and beach bars, and Gornji, new resorts and apartments, so the choice is yours. You will also discover the undisputed charms of Morinj if you go a little way from the Jadranska magistrala, first by car and then on foot through the lush nature. The hidden beauty of Morinje is also reflected in the family restaurant Ćatović, actually a complex of an old mill converted into a catering attraction.

The charisma of the autochthonous ambience and the water that flows and springs at every step is only a few tens of meters from the mouth of the sea. In summer and winter, ducks and fish that can live in semi-sweet-semi-salt water are permanent residents of this idyllic area. Ćatovica mills were not the only Morinj mills, the remains of others were also recorded, but unfortunately they were not preserved and were not restored, even for tourist purposes. You can also notice one on the coast, a few meters from the highway, but in a dilapidated state.

In addition to the coast, Morinj also has the most popular camping locations on the entire coast, which have been extremely popular among foreign tourists for decades...
