Ulcinj Riviera

Pinješ Pines

A shaded shoreline path under pines between Ulcinj’s minaret-studded Old Town and the wooden kalimera fishing nets of Port Milena — the most Mediterranean stretch of the coast.

Conviene saber

  • Getting back from Velika Plaža: minibuses run to the market on Skenderbeu Avenue, taxis cost about €10–15, and in summer a boat shuttle (~€4) links Velika Plaža with the town.
  • Ženska plaža is women-only from May to October — male walkers stay on the upper path; the sulphur spring has drawn medical visitors since the early 1900s.
  • Pines shade the route from the Old Town to the Pinješ coves; the Port Milena → Velika Plaža leg is fully exposed with no fountains — carry water in July–August.
  • Kite season on Velika Plaža is May–September: the afternoon maestral blows 15–25 knots — expect sand on the wind on the final leg.
  • The Kalaja citadel is steep cobbles and steps; a step-free variant follows the promenade below the walls.
  • Flamingo months at the Ulcinj Salina (Nature Park since 2019) are March–June and mid-August–November — a 10-minute spur from the Port Milena canal path.

Ulcinj Old Town

2,500 years of Illyrian, Venetian and Ottoman walls above the sea. In the Church-Mosque (church 1510, mosque 1571) and on the little Slave Square lives the town’s corsair past — legend even holds Cervantes here, and hears Dulcinea in Ulcinj’s old name, Dulcigno.

Rock-and-pine snorkelling coves — the clearest water on the walk, and the local swimming culture at its most unhurried.

Ženska plaža

A sulphur spring runs into the sea at this women-only cove (May–October) — doctors have been sending patients here since the early twentieth century. Male walkers keep to the pine path above.

Port Milena

The canal was named for Princess — later Queen — Milena in 1885; the wooden kalimera net-cranes lining it were declared an intangible cultural asset in 2017. Come at sunrise, when the water is a mirror.

Velika Plaža

The path ends where the endless beach begins: thirteen kilometres of hard sand running to Ada Bojana, kites stacked over the shallows all summer. At the far end, the Bojana’s stilt restaurants — Miško is the oldest — serve the day’s catch over the river.
