Budva (Cetinje, Virpazar, Lake Shkodra Bar, Sveti Stefan)
On the 3rd Day of our Budva Tour After breakfast, we will have an extra half-day boat tour of Budva Beaches, Petrovac, and Sveti Stefan (75 euros). In this tour, we start by boarding our private boat from Budva coast, first stopping at Sveti Nikola (Hawai) island, and then swimming at Sveti Stefan island. We continue by boat to the lovely town of Petrovac. We will spend approximately 2 hours on the private boat. Petrovac, a small tourist town on the Adriatic Sea coast, is also one of Montenegro's oldest coastal towns. We enjoy the sea and sun on the beaches of Petrovac. After a free lunch, we will depart by private vehicle from Petrovac. On the way back, we will see Sveti Stefan from land with its extraordinary scenery. Sveti Stefan, which was once a fishermen's settlement, was expropriated and later sold to a Singapore hotel chain, being restored and promoted for tourism today. In the 15th century, it was a village protected by walls. Up until the 1950s, Sveti Stefan Island was a fishing village and has been a favorite destination for celebrities such as Sofia Loren, Marilyn Monroe, and Liz Taylor in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. We will take a photo break at a panoramic viewpoint of Sveti Stefan before returning to Budva.
*** Outside the sea season (in Spring, Autumn, and Winter), this tour will be conducted without a boat as the "Budva Beaches, Sveti Stefan, Petrovac, and Stari Bar Tour" by road.
