Holidays with kids in Montenegro

Are you ready for a vacation with children in Montenegro?

Resorts in Montenegro are becoming an increasingly popular destination for family vacations. This country is famous for its comfort and safety. You can use a rented car to familiarise yourself with the local beauty better.

When is the best time to visit Montenegro with the kids?

Half of July and the whole of August are the times with the most significant crowds in Montenegro. There are no empty spaces on beaches, hotels, and parking lots. High prices and constant traffic jams make this period not the best for families with children.

In June and September, it is pretty warm in this country; there is no human hustle and bustle. Therefore, choosing these months for a calm and comfortable stay is better. In September, the sea is warmer, but the air becomes colder.

It is pretty cool in May and October in Montenegro. But the situation can change every year. Sometimes the weather during these months is summer. But you can take sunbathing during this period for sure.

What is the situation with the beaches?

Montenegro is a beach holiday country. There are small beaches, many people, and little sand. The sea is much more excellent than Turkey or Egypt. And it warms up to a maximum of 25 degrees. The coast and the seabed are composed of stones and pebbles. This kind of coverage is natural for Montenegro. Sand is brought to most of the beaches from other regions. It is not very convenient to spend the whole day on pebble beaches. Montenegro is still more attracted by natural beauties, cities, and people. And you won't be able to rest in this country passively.

It would help if you were specially prepared to relax with a child on the Montenegrin beaches. You need to purchase special rubber shoes that will not subside for the child. Montenegro has a great selection of crocs and slippers, but you can bring them home. The baby can move along the pebbled coast and the seabed comfortably in such shoes.

The water is pretty cool, so it will be impossible for children to always be in it. Be sure to think about coastal entertainment for the kid. Playgrounds are not encouraging for their size and number.

The sun is very aggressive in Montenegro. The chance of getting sunburned or having a stroke is very high. Neither children nor adults can be under the midday sun. And the time spent under the sun should be increased in dosage.

Many children start to get sick a few days after resting. Fever, vomiting, and diarrhoea appear. This is a manifestation of acclimatization. Or sunstroke or seawater poisoning. You need to know where the medical centre is located nearby. And before leaving, you should consult with your therapist—no need to panic. The malaise usually goes away quickly. And nothing will spoil the rest.

How to feed your child on vacation?

Unfortunately, the national Montenegrin dishes are not suitable for baby food. Because it is mainly grilled meat or pizza and various types of pasta. Most restaurants do not have special meals for children on their menus. The maximum the chefs can offer children is a thick national soup and various vegetables. Porridge in Montenegro is not cooked at all. For toddlers, a good selection of food is available in the shops.

It isn't easy to find buckwheat and oatmeal. It isn't easy to find the usual cottage cheese. Some cheeses are very remotely similar to the usual cottage cheese. But on the other hand, there are a lot of excellent quality fruits and vegetables. The freshest meat can be purchased inexpensively—lots of aromatic pastries, delicious bread, and various juices.

Medical service

To visit Montenegro, it is advisable to take out insurance. A copy of the insurance policy should always be at hand. It would help to familiarise yourself with all the policy points in advance. All conversations with operators and doctors take place only from a mobile phone. Therefore, checking the balance or buying a local operator card is worth checking.

If there is no insurance, you need to find the location of emergency rooms and hospitals. If you get into trouble, it is better not to wait for the ambulance to arrive but to get there alone. The hospitals in Montenegro have empathetic and experienced doctors who will provide all the necessary assistance.

It should be remembered that many medicines in Montenegro have different names. Therefore, you should take with your instructions where there is a necessary composition in Latin. Based on this, it will be easier for a pharmacist to find an analogue.

Love for children

The cult of children reigns in Montenegro. Children are adored here, and they are treated with particular trepidation. The taxi driver will drive carefully if a family with a child is in the cabin. The smiles of residents everywhere accompany small children; they are constantly treated as sweets. Hotel and restaurant workers are also very attentive to children. So, kids will enjoy their vacation in Montenegro.
