Hello, my family of four (8 and 10) will be taking a trip to Montenegro and Croatia next July 2026. We hope to spend 3 nights in Montenegro with the remaining trip in Croatia (7 nights). With this said, I cannot find reasonable, 1-stop flights either into or out of Montenegro, from the USA. We prefer a one stop flight so we are leaning towards flying into (or out of) Dubrovnik and out of (or into) Split.
What base would you recommend in Montenegro to stay 3 nights? We prefer to be less than 2 hours from Dubrovnik in case this is the airport used. We enjoy hiking, swimming, seeing scenic areas, eating local food, etc. I do not mind driving in a foreign country too so a rental car will probably be used.
Thanks in advance.
