We rent a large house in Budva, where up to 13 families can stay simultaneously in separate apartments. Here, you can find a sense of security, take a breath, and decide on your next steps. Our experience has shown that two weeks is an optimal period for families to get oriented on-site and find permanent accommodation. Currently, there are no other temporary housing programs for refugees in Montenegro. Only with us can you stay with your pets and we are also able to accommodate people with disabilities.
what do we do?
- provide accommodation for two weeks

“We were transported to another reality”
For the New Year’s holidays, a group of 16 people from the village of Sad in the Sumy region of Ukraine came to us. These are students and teachers of the Sadsky Lyceum.
During the week, they went on a hike to the village of Sveti Stefan, toured the Old Town with a professional guide, got acquainted with the history of Budva, and saw how Badni dan (Christmas Eve in the Balkans) is celebrated here. We also conducted psychological training in the art therapy format for the group. We are glad that we were able to give children and adults this week of rest and quiet, away from the front-line territories.
Here’s what the lyceum’s teachers and children wrote in our review book:
‘We express our sincere gratitude to the entire team of the Pristanište Foundation for the incredibly warm welcome to the Sadovsky Lyceum-children and teachers. Considering our stay in the frontline Sumy region, we were very pleased to feel comfortable and humane attitude, which was manifested in accommodation, provision, and organization of high-quality leisure activities. It is as if we were transported to another reality, which captures us with incredible landscapes, positive emotions, and sincere feelings. You have given us the opportunity at such a difficult moment to be inspired by the peaceful realities that we need so much for our further struggle. We appreciate your kindness and willingness to help anyone who needs it. Thank you for such a warm welcome and for the happy eyes of our children. glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes!’
