Introducing Ulcinj
The town of Ulcinj heads a series of fine beaches from Mala Plaža (Small Beach) below the old town to Velika Plaža (Great Beach), a famous 12km beach stretching eastwards towards Albania. The Stari Grad (Old Town) is a maze of private houses intermingled with expensive restaurants exploiting the view.

The Turks ruled here for over 300 years and Ulcinj gained notoriety as a North African pirate base and slave market between 1571 and 1878. Today there is a significant Muslim population and the town is popular with Kosovars. An invasion happens every July and August when tens of thousands of holidaymakers flock to enjoy its beaches and Mediterranean climate. Ulcinj is also a transit point for travellers wanting to go on to Albania.
