Bus from KOLAŠIN to THESSALONIKI

Kolasin is a city settlement in Montenegro.

The origin and meaning of the word Kolasin is not known. One hypothesis connects him with the Duke named Kolasin who founded the settlement. Another hypothesis says that perhaps Kolasin from the Sultan's decree was the same Kolasin found in the oral tradition and settlement of the Duke Kolasin.

With its great part the area of the municipality is located in border zone of subtropical and mild climate zone. This kind of in-between climate type is reflected with relatively dry and somewhat shorter summers. In the valley of the river Morača you can feel the influence of Mediterranean, and he climate traits of this area are largely conditioned with height altitude of the land and the presence of high mountains that isolate the currents from the south. 

Kolasin is one of the centers of Montenegrin mountain tourism. It has the advantage of being easily accessible by road and rail. Kolasin is located at the foot of the mountains Bjelasica and Sinjajevina, which offer excellent conditions for skiing. Due to the height of Kolašin (954 m), the city is considered an aerial spa.

"Biogradska Gora" National Park is in the town's vicinity, and is considered a premium tourist attraction.
