　　Colourful frescoes fill this Serbian Orthodox cathedral, set among a picturesque grove of gnarled olive trees just below the main gate to the Old Town. It’s a relative newbie, having been built in 1890 shortly after the Ottomans were booted out, although it’s believed to stand on the site of a 15th-century monastery.

Must-see attractions

Liberty Monument

　　On the cliff above Mala Plaža, this imposing monument is a lovely piece of socialist art that’s now neglected and covered in graffiti. Its two V-shaped white segments resemble a pair of fighter planes that have crash-landed on their noses. Closer inspection reveals them as stylised wings sprouting from the...

　　This pine-fringed rocky beach makes for a good break from the blaring pop and incessant preening of some of the more populated strips of sand near Mala Plaža. Despite the lack of sand, it's a good spot for swimming and sunning. There's a nice pizzeria and bar on the concreted...

　　Come July and August it's hard to see this little grin of a cove under all the suntanned flesh. If you're after a little more seclusion, go for a southeasterly stroll – you'll find a succession of rocky bays and clearer, less-sun-lotion-oiled water. ...

The statue receives dozen of floral bouquets daily. 　　Adjacent to it is a commemorative plaque reading 'In gratitude to the people of Ulcinj...

Hotel Albatros Beach

　　If you feel like getting your kit off without making your way to Ada Bojana, this bare-bum beach just down from the large Hotel Albatros is the place to do it. Heading down the path, turn right for the clothed beach and left for the unclothed. ...

　　This lovely, boulder-strewn little cove – and its cave – are strictly for the ladies. It was given its name and status thanks to the high level of sulphur in the deep green water, said to be an excellent natural treatment for infertility. Local women often swim naked here. If...

　　The ancient walled town overlooking Mala Plaža is largely residential and somewhat dilapidated, a legacy of the 1979 earthquake. This is part of its charm – this Old Town really does feel old, with its uneven cobblestones and paucity of street lighting. Allow at least an hour to simply ramble...
