Creator's Key Takeaways

Bar is often an alternate Port if coutur is cancelled and that's what happened to us

the area is less crowded and not over touristed so you get a more relaxed less touristy Vibe here

we opted with our mixed generation group to rent a car this was a fairly easy Choice as it gave us the most flexibility

the old Olive Tree about 8 to 10 minute drive east from Town Center this is said to be the oldest Olive Tree in Europe over 2,000 years

Rent a car for flexibility and to explore local highlights on your own time

YouTube Video Description

Bar, Montenegro is a fascinating Balkans cruise port that’s often on Mediterranean itineraries. Sailing on Princess Cruise Line, we originally were slated for Kotor, but got changed. So we explored the area by rental car and stopped at Old Olive Tree, Old Town Bar (Stari Bar), Lake Skadar National Park and the Church of St. Jovan Vladimir. We give you all the port basics, plus cruise tips and more! 0:00 Intro 1:32 Port 4:33 Car Rental Details 6:45 Drive Tour – Old Olive Tree 7:21 Drive Tour – Old Town of Bar 8:46 Drive Tour – Lake Skadar 11:06 Drive Tour – Church of St. Jovan Vladimir ⚓Helpful links  Bar Rent A Car https://barrentacarmontenegro.me/ Taxi Prince Research https://adriacom.me/montenegro-taxi/#:~:text=Is%20Uber%20available%20in%20Montenegro,can%20use%20to%20book%20rides.
