The monastery Savina is located in one of the most beautiful bays in the world – bay of Boka Kotorska. It is located 2 kilometers away from Herceg Novi in thick Mediterranean forest. It is situated on the hill from which the view stretches over Lustica and Ostri Rt (Sharp cape), as well as on Topla in whose hinterland plain Sutorina is located. On the east side the view goes towards Tivat bay, above which raises giant Lovcen. This medieval monastery has three churches of which two of them are dedicated to Uspenje Bogorodice (Falling into sleep of Holy Mother of God). It has sleeping quarters with treasury, and a separated church of Svet Sava (St. Sava). Small and Big church with sleeping quarters make one entity while the third church, parish one, is located on the mount above the quarters and it is dedicated to Sveti Sava. According to a legend Sveti Sava (St. Sava) built this church in XIII century, and it is by him that it got the name. The treasury of the monastery has some Russian, Italian, and Krit icons, and parchments and shod Gospels.

In our neigbourhood there's a true hidden gem The Savina monastery is a beautyfull sightseeing place with a rich historic and cultural context. We reccommend paying it a visit and exploring it a bit. It's allowed to enter the cortyard and climbing to the beautiful sight spot. ( It's a lot of stairs, so be prepared, but the view is worth it. )
