Cetinje Monastery - Holy keeper of relics After approximately one hour of scenic driving, we arrive in the historic royal capital of Cetinje. Our first and most significant stop is the revered Cetinje Monastery, one of the most important spiritual centers in the country. Originally built in the 15th century during the time of the state of Zeta, the monastery became the epicenter of Montenegrin culture, literacy, and education. Throughout history, it was destroyed and rebuilt several times. After the invasion of Suleiman Pasha, it was reconstructed, preserving its spiritual and national significance. Within its modest yet sacred chambers, invaluable Christian relics are kept: fragments of the Holy Cross, the hand of John the Baptist, and the relics of Saint Peter of Cetinje. These treasures make the monastery one of the most spiritually significant sites in the Christian world — a place of deep reverence, faith, and heritag

Après 40 minutes de route, nous atteignons le monastère de Dajbaba. Situé sous la colline de Dajbaba, non loin de Podgorica, la capitale du Monténégro, ce monastère a été construit en 1897 suite à une vision miraculeuse du berger Petka et dédié à l'Assomption de la Sainte Vierge Marie. Le monastère lui-même est creusé dans la roche. À ses pieds, une église en forme de croix est inscrite. Le porche d'entrée, orné de clochers, est la seule partie du monastère qui se trouve à l'extérieur de la roche de la grotte. Les reliques de saint Siméon de Dajbaba sont conservées à l'intérieur du monastère. Ce monastère se distingue par l'harmonie entre l'homme et la nature. À cette occasion, l'homme a compris le message et n'a pas détruit la nature, mais l'a adoptée.

After approximately one hour of driving from Dajbaba Monastery, we arrive at the most visited and revered shrine in the country — the magnificent Ostrog Monastery. Dedicated to Saint Basil of Ostrog, who lived in the 17th century, the monastery is carved dramatically into a vertical cliff at 900 meters above sea level. His relics are preserved here, and tradition says that his body was found incorrupt seven years after his death. Ostrog is renowned for the miracles and healings attributed to the saint, drawing pilgrims from all over the world, regardless of faith. More than a monument, it is a place of deep spirituality and inner transformation. Visiting this extraordinary sanctuary offers not only breathtaking views, but also a profound sense of peace and reflection.

After visiting the monastery, we continue to Koliba Restaurant for a well-deserved lunch break. Here, you will have the opportunity to taste authentic Montenegrin cuisine — traditional dishes prepared according to local recipes, offering a true flavor of the region. After lunch, we begin our return journey. Along the way, we will make a scenic photo stop overlooking the Adriatic Sea — the perfect moment to capture the beauty of Montenegro’s coastline. The drive back takes approximately two hours, giving you time to relax and reflect on a day filled with culture, spirituality, breathtaking landscapes, and authentic local flavors.
