Day 6: Stari Bar
Stari Bar, which is one of the most significant old towns in the country, is located about 5 km from the modern city of Bar. Dating back to 300BC and surrounded beautifully by olive groves, it is worth a visit. By the 9th Century, Stari Bar was referred to as Antivar and used to be a famous trading post.
Due to an earthquake in the year 1979, Stari Bar is majorly in ruins now. However, there are few signs that it is being rehabilitated with the city walls, Citadel, the Venetian Clock Tower and Turkish Baths. Still one gets its original feel as you stroll around the persisting streets and soak it all in. In order to gain an understanding of the place, make sure to visit the museum which is just inside the gates.
Discover the oldest olive tree in Europe just nearby you, which is known as Stara Maslina and is located in Mirovica. The tree which date between 2007 and is 2443 years old, still produces olives. It is definitely worth a look. For centuries, the tree has been used as a meeting place and a place of many marriage discussions as well as ending of arguments. Perhaps, this is where the phrase ‘extending the olive branch’ originates from.
