There is also an old town that is well worth seeing. Especially recently, Herceg Novi has become a destination for mass tourism. This development has damaged the city’s reputation as a vacation destination. One of the most famous hotels is the “Plaza” hotel.

There are nicer bathing opportunities on the east side of Herceg-Novi, where the towns of Meljine, Zelenika and Bijela stretch along the coast and also contributed to the popularity of water polo in the region. The local club PVK Jadran Herceg Novi has been champions of Yugoslavia and Montenegro several times and was in the 2004 final of the LEN Euro League.
