WHETHER you’re on a fly and flop break or sight-seeing adventure, it’s only natural to want more out of a holiday.
TUI has revealed one trick that lets you visit three countries in one day – and there’s no queueing up at the airport either.

It works particularly well if you’re booked at a TUI hotel, called the TUI BLUE Kalamota Island which is on an island off the coast of Dubrovnik in Croatia.
Not only is it off the coast of Croatia, it’s right beside both Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This is where TUI comes in – if you book with TUI Musement it offers full day tours and experiences of the neighbouring countries which don’t require any flying.
In some cases they can even pick you up from your hotel.

One day trip to Montenegro starts off in Perast with a visit to the island of the Lady of the Rocks before heading off to Kotor.
There’s a guided tour as well as free time where guests can explore the sites in their own time – these start from £79pp.
There are more options if you start away from the hotel in Dubrovnik – for example a full day trip from Dubrovnik to Montenegro starts from £52pp.
It includes a drive through Zupa Dubrovacka and Konavle valleys and along the picturesque Bay of Kotor.
This is followed by a visit to a charming fishing village called Perast and then hop onboard a boat to reach the island of Lady of the Rocks.
There’s then a tour of the Old Town of Kotor before returning to Dubrovnik.

You can also book a tour to explore some of Bosnia and Herzegovina from Dubrovnik without having to fly.
One experience heads to the city of Mostar and the beautiful Kravica Waterfalls from £41pp.
The full day trip starts at the waterfalls where visitors can even have a quick dip in the water.
Then it goes onto Mostar to wander about the city, see the famous Old Bridge before heading to the village of Počitelj.

If you want to book a stay in the TUI BLUE Kalamota Island this year, there are still holidays available from £718pp.
This is for an all-inclusive break from October 11-18 in a double room with a balcony or terrace including return flights from Birmingham Airport.
The hotel is adults-only with a white pebble beach, swimming pool and the island itself is traffic free.
TUI BLUE Kalamota Island Experience Manager Kelebek Canbulat said: “Guests can wake up on a peaceful island, head out on a TUI Musement experience to Montenegro or Bosnia and Herzegovina, and be back in the evening for dinner by the sea.
“It gives customers the best of both worlds. They can explore multiple countries during their stay, but still enjoy the comfort, ease and relaxation of having one hotel base.”
