There's no doubt that a self-guided sightseeing tour of Becici will be a lot of fun, but if you want to explore the historical sights of neighboring towns, it makes sense to use the services of guides. The excursions in Becici are offered by major tour operators and local organizers (the latter can be found on the beach or right on the streets near the hotels). Judging by tourists' reviews, the cost of excursions from tour operators in Becici is 10-15 EUR more expensive compared to the proposals of local offices.

Natural attractions.
This category includes Lake Skadar, Boko-Kotor Bay, the national parks of Lovcen, Biogradska Gora and Durmitor, and the canyons of Tara and Moraca. While admiring the stunning scenery, you can also learn a lot about Montenegro's history and culture, as natural attractions are juxtaposed with historical monuments.
For example, in the vicinity of the beautiful Skadar Lake (one of the largest in Europe!) there are ruins of the Turkish fortress Hrmojur and several ancient monasteries (Kom, Beška) available for visiting. And on the famous Black Mountain (Lovcen) you will see the majestic mausoleum of Petar II Petrovic-Njegoš, the most revered ruler of Montenegro.
If you want to maximize the beauty of the local landscapes, choose an excursion to the Biogradska Gora National Park with its amazing canyons.
Monasteries
The Ostrog Monastery is a must-see for most tourists: the white stone buildings seem to grow out of the impregnable cliffs at an altitude of 900 meters, and the views from the observation decks are magnificent. Pilgrims are attracted here by the relics of St. Basil of Ostrog, which have miraculous powers.
Cities and Museums
On excursions from Becici you can visit interesting sights with names unfamiliar to us: Kotor, Cetinje, Bar, Petrovac, Ulcinj. The most recommended route is Cetinje, the ancient capital of Montenegro, which has a history of more than 600 years. Here you can see several medieval churches (Vlaška, Palace Church), ancient palaces (Biliard Palace, Palace of King Nikola I, Blue Palace) and museums (National History Museum, Art Gallery of Montenegro, Museum of Peter II Petrovic-Njegoš).
