Weather and holiday features in Montenegro in July

To fully enjoy the July sun, clear sea, warm sand or the protected nature of the mountains, you need to spend the peak of summer in a country that is simply created for a beach holiday and is suitable for mountain tourism lovers. This country is Montenegro. It is in July that the most favorable weather is here, conducive to spending a family vacation on the shores of the Adriatic Sea.
