Ada Bojana, a triangular island with sandy beaches, formed by a river delta of the Bojana River and the Adriatic Sea. The island is a favourite spot for kitesurfers and windsurfers and it has a large nudist beach for those so inclined. You will have to pay 6 Eur/day for access.
Serve quite good falafel, french fries, kebabs. The owner seems to be from Middle East so he knows how to do this kind of food right.
Amazingly fast prepared and good-tasting meals. One of the best options in the city. Big variety of food but mainly pizzas, pastas. Nice personnel, relaxed atmosphere. This place has a second floor terrace with fantastic views over the bay.
Extensive choice of food. Tastes quite good. But the portions aren't particularly large. They also have a daily menu which includes 3 meals, costs €10. Not a bad choice.
Popular among tourists. But the food is of nothing special, even below average. They also provide complimentary drinks after you paid the bill.
Offering more reasonably priced food in the Old Town, but with spectacular sea views. Service is excellent and their staff can speak English, German, Russian, and Serb-Croat.
Fresh fish and meat.
Highly advertised restaurant. Serves only fish and other seafood.
Eight rooms.
Six villas/rooms.
Pirate Guesthouse
The first hostel in town, it has a large and cozy common area and a very well equipped kitchen with a dining area. It also has a large front yard with a barbecue that is free to use. Easy walking distance from the bus station and old town.
There are 40 beds in fifteen rooms.
Adjacent to Restaurant Antigona. Incredibly gracious host who speaks a little English. However, her daughter helps run the lodge and speaks fluent English. Fantastic balcony for watching the sunset.
Ulcinj is a small city, you will have no problem getting around by foot, but keep in mind that some parts are very hilly.
