Map of Herceg Novi

 

 

Herceg Novi

 

 

 

Herceg Novi is situated between Mount Orjen and the entrance to the most

beautiful bay in the world - the Boka Kotorska.

 

From the sea, the view of Herceg Novi is breathtaking. A tradition of importing seeds, exotic plants, trees and fruits from around the world has transformed Herceg Novi into a veritable botanic garden, carefully tended and expanded over centuries. Built on a series of terraces, this Town Garden is positioned perfectly, with a view of the open sea and two peninsulas, Luštica and Prevlaka.

 

To the right (towards Igalo) and the left (all the way to Meljine) of this marine center runs the longest promenade in Boka Kotorska Bay. The large complex of the Mediterranean health center in Igalo today dominates the scenery. Igalo has risen to notoriety as a spa center because of its very mild Mediterranean climate, with more than 200 sunny days, blooming vegetation and healthy mineral water (referred to as Igaljanka) as well as mildly radioactive mud.

 

Herceg Novi is also known as the Town of Writers. The list of famous writers for whom Herceg Novi was a muse is a long one, and includes Aleksa Santic, Simo Matavulj, Ivo Andric (Noble prize for literature), Mihajlo Lalic, Stevan Raičkovic, Dusan Kostic and Zuko Dzumhur. Andric’s house is today the Writer's Club and the Town Museum lies just a few houses away.

 

The town is crisscrossed with numerous steps and stairways and is carefully planned with lush greenery to provide shade making it a haven for both locals and tourists.

 

In Herceg Novi, you must visit the Orthodox Monastery of Savina, a monument not only to religion, but also to beauty. Located in the Savinska Dubrava Grove, this monastery features unique Mediterranean vegetation and provides a breathtaking view of the Bay. The monastery complex includes three churches - two large churches dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin from the 11th century and the 18th century, as well as the Church of St. Sava Serbian, located uphill from the main monastery.
