Radovici: Trails, Churches and Coastal Landscape

Explore Radovići from different perspectives: a circular hike leads via Babunci to the Žanjice beach and excursion area, other trails wind through the area’s olive groves, and a panoramic route crosses the village. Historic churches and nearby beaches add to the range of topics to consider when planning your trip. Decide whether you want to focus on a specific walking loop, a longer panoramic trail or individual destinations by the water.

Hiking between Radovići and Žanjice

The 12.3-kilometre Radovići–Babunci–Žanjice trail starts in Radovići, follows an old Austro-Hungarian stone road towards Babunci, and then descends to the Žanjice beach and excursion area. From there, the route returns to Radovići to complete the loop. The trail is one of the marked and signposted routes laid out on Luštica and made accessible to visitors. Check its current condition locally before setting out. Other hiking trails on Luštica pass through the olive groves around Radovići. This lets you choose between the specific loop to Žanjice and other trails through the groves.

Churches and history

The Church of St. Gospođe is in Nikovići, a hamlet of Radovići. Its first recorded mention appears in a purchase contract from 1594; in 1955, the church was granted legal protection. The iconostasis is attributed to the Greek icon painter Nikola Aspiotis. Historical records give 1767 as the year the Church of St. Spasa was built. The two churches are therefore associated with different historical milestones: the first written mention and protection status of St. Gospođe, and the recorded construction year of St. Spasa.

Panoramic route and natural setting

The 40-kilometre “Život na Luštici” panoramic route passes through Radovići. It includes the Solila Special Nature Reserve and offers views over the Bay of Kotor. Unlike the 12.3-kilometre loop to the Žanjice beach and excursion area, it is a longer route with its own course. The two trails therefore offer different ways to explore the area: one is a loop returning to Radovići, while the other follows the panoramic route.

In the wider Tivat destination, the Solila Nature Reserve has been listed as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention since 2013, and is also designated an Important Bird and Biodiversity Area (IBA). It is also a candidate for Emerald Network status under the Bern Convention.

Nearby beaches

The coastal destinations also differ in their beach types and surroundings. Pržna Bay, also known as Blue Horizons, has a sandy beach and clear, greenish water. Movida is on the road to Radovići and can be reached by land or sea. The beach is pebbly, with a snack bar and restaurant terrace. Beach services and access arrangements at Movida may change, so check the details in advance.

Velja Spila, also known as Pecka, is a 100-metre-long sandy beach in Trašte Bay, with both private and public areas. By car, the beach can be reached from Tivat or from the nearby beaches of Plavi Horizonti and Oblatno. Road access and beach services may change; check their current availability before your visit.

Local cuisine

Kapernaum in Radovići is known for fish specialities and local dishes. Izlet near Plavi Horizonti serves local and grilled dishes. As restaurant operations and menus may change, check current availability before making firm plans to visit either venue.
