A 12.3-kilometre circular hike leads from Radovici via Babunci towards Žanjice and back. A 40-kilometre panoramic route also passes through the village. Together with the churches and the different beaches in the area, these offer several focal points for planning your trip—from the route itself and historical details to choosing a stretch of coastline.
Hiking and Scenery on Luštica
The Radovići–Babunci–Žanjice trail starts in Radovici and initially follows an old Austro-Hungarian stone road towards Babunci. It then descends to the beach and excursion destination of Žanjice, before returning to Radovici as a loop. The trail is one of the marked and signposted routes on Luštica made available to visitors. Check the trail’s current condition locally before setting out.
At 12.3 kilometres, this circular hike is a practical option for planning a day out. The 40-kilometre panoramic route “Život na Luštici” offers a different scale: it passes through Radovici, offers views of the Bay of Kotor and includes the Solila Nature Reserve. Radovici’s olive groves are also part of the landscape crossed by hiking trails on Luštica. Comparing the routes can help you decide whether to focus your outing on a single loop or a longer route.
Church History in Nikovići
The Church of St. Gospođe is located in Nikovići, a hamlet of Radovici. Its first recorded mention appears in a sales contract from 1594. The church was granted legal protection in 1955. The iconostasis is attributed to the Greek icon painter Nikola Aspiotis. These details connect a visit to the hamlet with a specific historical record and an artistic attribution, while keeping the different dates distinct.
Beaches with Different Character
The surrounding area has beaches with a range of features. PrĹľna Bay, also known as Blue Horizons, has a sandy beach and clear, greenish seawater. Plavi Horizonti Beach lies by the village of Radovici and is surrounded by parks and pine forest. Movida is on the road to Radovici and can be reached by land or by water. This pebble beach has a snack bar and a restaurant terrace; beach facilities and access conditions may change. Check the latest information before visiting.
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 and from the nearby beaches of Plavi Horizonti and Oblatno. Access conditions may change here too. Sand, pebbles and location offer different points of reference when choosing a beach; take access information into account when planning your visit.
Solila in the Wider Destination of Tivat
Solila’s significance extends beyond the panoramic route. In the wider destination of Tivat, Solila is a coastal wetland of around 150 hectares, opposite the city centre in Krtole Bay. Since 2013, it has been listed under the Ramsar Convention as a wetland of international importance. It is also designated an Important Bird and Biodiversity Area and is a candidate for Emerald site status under the Bern Convention. This distinction helps set the specific hiking route in Radovici apart from the broader conservation designation within the destination of Tivat.
Dining in Radovici
Kapernaum in Radovici is associated with fish specialities and local dishes. Izlet in Radovici, near Plavi Horizonti, is associated with local and grilled cuisine. Restaurant operations and menus may change; check the current offer before visiting. When planning, you can match your beach and hiking interests with the dining options mentioned, without assuming that a restaurant’s offerings will remain unchanged.
