The holidays have come to an end and this year's successful holiday season (Sparkling Season) in Portonovi has also come to an end. The beautiful Christmas tree that made the resort recognizable for more than a month was dismantled last week, the houses that were part of the holiday bazaar were closed, and the rest of the decorations are slowly being removed.

Although predominantly a summer destination, which is associated with the beach and vacation in the sun, Portonovi has shown that, with a well-defended program, it can become the center of events in this part of Montenegro during all seasons. This is evidenced by the incredible number of more than 100 thousand visitors during this period.

Along with one of the biggest Christmas trees in this part of Europe, a magic show (Light, laser & music show) as well as beautiful decorations, visitors also enjoyed the holiday bazaar with the best selection of delicacies. This year's bazaar delighted with its food offering, from pancakes, sausages, burgers, fritters, as well as the indispensable mulled wine and brandy that warmed visitors on cold winter days. The bazaar was also an excellent opportunity for local restaurateurs to expand their offer and introduce themselves to visitors to Portonovo. Kantina 65, Friends house, One&Only Portonovi, Koffein, Chefs of Boka, Auntie's house, Bel Paese, Tampa house and Santa Clause Station (Idea) participated in the bazaar.

On December 31, visitors enjoyed the Square and Maison du Monde restaurants, as well as the Koffein cafe, and exactly at midnight, the sky above Porton was decorated with spectacular fireworks, which continued a long-standing tradition attended by hundreds of visitors.

The reception was also organized at the One&Only Portonovi hotel. A five-course gala dinner was organized in the La Veranda restaurant with the musical accompaniment of Nika Turković and her band, while the guests enjoyed themselves with a DJ in the Tapasake club.

During December, the youngest ones were not forgotten either, and creative workshops, performances and parties in the newly opened conference and event space delighted children and parents, and there was a demand for more space.

This year, various activities were organized for visitors, and sports enthusiasts enjoyed the New Year's race on January 2. The race brought together 100 adult competitors and 100 children, among them well-known athletes, Željko Dabović from AK Sparta and Slađana Pejović from AK Nikšić, who triumphed.

After the big concerts of the group Perper, klapa Sufit, Amira Medunjanin and local bands and DJs, the season was closed by a big concert by Petar Grašo on the crowded Marina Square, with which the audience sang along for more than two hours.

In Portonovi, new events and activities for residents and guests of the resort who come from all over the world await us from spring. The increasing interest in staying both in Portonovi and Herceg Novi during the winter months, as well as the millions of views on Portonovi's social networks, show us that seaside places, with a variety of offers, can be a destination that people choose not only during the summer months, but throughout the year. .
