Budva (Cetinje- Virpazar- Lake Skadar- Bar- Sveti Stefan)
After breakfast, an optional half-day boat tour of the Budva Coast, Petrovac and Sveti Stefan (75 euros). On this tour, we begin our excursion by boarding our private boat from the Budva coast, taking swimming breaks first at Sveti Nikola (Hawai) Island and then at Sveti Stefan Island.

Sveti Stefan, which was once a settlement for fishermen, was restored and brought into tourism through the nationalization of the island and its subsequent sale to a Singaporean hotel chain. In the 15th century, it was a village protected by 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.
