Budva (Cetinje - Virpazar - Lake Skadar - Bar - Sveti Stefan)
After breakfast, an optional half-day Budva Beaches, Petrovac and Sveti Stefan boat tour (75 euros). On this tour, we board our private boat from the Budva coast and begin our excursion, taking swimming breaks first at Sveti Nikola (Hawaii) Island and then at Sveti Stefan Island. We continue by boat and arrive at the charming town of Petrovac. We spend approximately 2 hours on the private boat. Petrovac, a small tourist town on the Adriatic coast, is also one of Montenegro’s oldest seaside towns. We enjoy the sea and sun on the beaches of Petrovac. After lunch, which will be taken freely, we leave Petrovac and return by land in a private vehicle. On the way back, we see Sveti Stefan from the mainland this time, with its extraordinary scenery. Sveti Stefan, once a settlement for fishermen, was brought into tourism through the nationalization of the island and its subsequent sale to a Singaporean hotel chain, and is currently undergoing restoration. In the 15th century, it was a village protected by fortified walls. Sveti Stefan Island, which was a fishing town until the 1950s, was also visited for a period in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s by celebrities such as Sofia Loren, Marilyn Monroe and Liz Taylor. We take a photo break at a location offering a panoramic view of Sveti Stefan and return to Budva.
