We will stop along the way at a sightseeing spot with a great photo opportunity to capture the amazing Saint Stephan Island with its wonderful ruby roofs. That will be postcard to remember! We will then head down next to the island and take a walk next to the coastline of the King's and Queen's beach through a gorgeous olive garden, enjoying the beautiful Adriatic climate. We will also pass by the summerhouse of dynasty Karadjordjevic from the period of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (1918-1941).

After arriving at Budva, we will take a walk through the small and charming Old Town. You will see its winding streets, beautiful churches, squares and citadel. After this, you will have some leisure time as we will walk by Marina of Budva where you can see numerous beautiful boats and yachts. You can do some shopping or better yet, have a drink in one of the beautiful bars by the sea.

After arriving at Tivat, we will take a walk at ‘Pine’, the promenade of Tivat and make our way to the newest tourist village of our beautiful coast.
