Ostrog Monastery

One of the most significant Montenegrin monasteries and surely the most famous and spectacular is located some 45 km away from Podgorica at 900 meters above sea level, under the steep cliff of Ostrog Mountain (after which it was named). The monastery of impressive appearance was founded in mid-17th century by a monk and a superior of one of the eparchy of former Serbian Orthodox Church – Vasilije, whose cult has vastly spread so the present-day monastery stands as one of the most visited Orthodox spiritual centers worldwide. It is visited by people of different religions. We will find out more about the role of church in traditional Montenegro’s society, St Vasilije cult and fresco painting.

This was a fantastic tour, I think the best we did. Nino was so knowledgeable, kind, went at such a good pace, a great driver, passionate and the locations were amazing. Such treasures you probably wouldn’t have found by yourself, he was timely, answered all questions, have great insights, and knew the best spots. Couldn’t recommend a tour enough with Nino

Nino our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. He took us to some off the beaten track places that were beautiful and gave us a lot of tips for the other areas that we were going to visit on our tour as well. We got to know a lot about Montenegrin history, culture, cuisine and traditions from Nino. I would highly recommend doing a tour with Nino as your guide.
A friendly trip

Amazing tour seeing the history and natural beauty of Montenegro. Nino was a brilliant tour guide who was friendly, informative and fun. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Montenegro. Every part of the trip was awe-inspiring; from seeing the chapel housing the remains of Saint Basil in the Ostrog Monastery to the idyllic beauty of the Zeta River and the historic remains of the Roman city of Doclea.
