About the city

Bar is one of the few coastal towns where you can clearly feel two faces of the same place. On the one hand, there is a modern city facing the sea and the port, and on the other, the historical center that testifies to much older periods of development of this area. Olive growing here is not only an economic activity, but part of a local tradition that has lasted for generations. The surroundings of the city abound in gentle slopes, olive groves and viewpoints that offer a view of the coast. Thanks to its location, Bar has always been a meeting place for people, goods and ideas from different parts of the Mediterranean. Today, it represents a city where cultural heritage, nature and the everyday life of the local community can be easily combined. Its uniqueness lies precisely in this diversity.

Vroteljak Waterfall - Where nature whispers fairy tales

Deep among the green canopies of the bar hinterland, where the sun's rays gently dance on the thick leaves and moss, hides Vrteljak Waterfall, a place that looks like it has stepped straight out of the most beautiful folk tale. This still untouched pearl of nature attracts more and more adventure lovers, photographers, tourists, but also the locals of the Bar municipality who are looking for a peaceful refuge in nature. It is located in the picturesque and peaceful hamlet of Turčini, located not far from Stari Bar, on the slopes that rise above the town. Folklore and local stories say that every stone around Vrteljko keeps some secret, and every breeze carries whispers of former times when travelers and locals gathered at these springs. While the tiny drops of water glisten in the sun like diamonds, a scene is created in which it seems as if forest spirits and fairies still watch over this magical corner, hiding it from the busy modern world. Due to its unique ambience, lush greenery and pleasant climate, this secluded place has become a favorite escape from the summer heat and crowds on the sandy beaches for an increasing number of local residents. Here, time seems to slow down, the city noise disappears completely, and is replaced only by the harmonious sound of the waterfall, which relaxes and restores inner peace.
