Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines Published on February 8, 2022 Share Tweet Pin Email A typical Croatia and Montenegro itinerary for this Houston-based advisor might include: a visit to a local's home near Split to learn the lost art of making "soparnik"; a cruise among the islands and inlets of the coast on aboat worthy of a James Bond film; or a scuba expedition through former submarine tunnels in Kotor Bay. Plus, stays at luxe properties like One & Only Porto Novi, Ikador and Maslina Resort. While many areas of Croatia and Montenegro have remained hidden gems only for those travelers "in the know," the region is poised to continue growing in popularity thanks to amazing new hotel openings and recent publicity from shows like Game of Thrones. As Westerfield often tells her travelers, "Croatia and Montenegro have so much to offer, whether you want to enjoy the culinary scene, explore the history or simply lounge by the water. We love it so much that my family and I visit regularly and are always looking for an excuse to go back and explore new places and old favorites!"
