16 Car Rental The Adriatic Sea … A Water Paradise

The Adriatic Sea stretches over 820 kilometres from northwest to south- east and covers an area of 132,000 square metres offering a water play- ground par excellence. Montenegro’s water holds great potential and its diverse choices lie adjacent to the neighbouring Adriatic nations of Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia- Herzego vina and Albania. In terms of diversity and natural wilderness, it also com petes very favourably with the rest of the world.

The waters of the northern Adriatic Sea are characterised by numerous lagoons and pretty sheltered bays.
